Hello,
I have acquired a garage tent that is 6x6 meters at the base and 3.7 meters high. I feel like I want to anchor it well so that it doesn't blow away...
I have a few options that I'm considering.
1. Cut 100 cm rebar and use these as tent pegs.
2. Use ground anchors and secure the poles in place, three on each side (corner - middle - corner).
Which do you think will hold best?
The tent fabric is covered with gravel at the bottom to prevent the wind from entering the tent.

I made fat "circus tent pegs" from angle iron and sharpened them and welded a washer on the other end to hit on.
They sit like hell and are easy to pull up

I have used ground spirals and tension straps for a 3x6 meter tent, it handled both autumn and winter storms without any issues.
I bought 10 threaded rods 100 cm. Knock them down into the hole on the frame foot and throw in a washer and a locking bolt. Also, place a 75 cm ground anchor in each corner. It would be the damn devil if the tent takes off.
I cast some plinths in the corners and stuck the threaded rod through the frame. It's just a couple of hours' work to make sure the tent is still standing when you get home from work.
Alright, let's see if the tent stays up
Bought 100 cm angle iron (30x30x3mm). Hammered them diagonally into the ground, attached a ratchet strap to the frame and then the other end to the iron. A total of six stakes. Additionally, one in each corner to secure the tent fabric over the frame. Have four more stakes on standby.
It's supposed to blow 18 m/s on Thursday, so we'll see
