    Tarp Deck Anchors

    I needed a better way to "stake out" tarp tie outs on my deck and finally got around to making six deck anchors today.

    Materials - six 11" pieces of coat hanger wire and six washers. Slip one through a crack and turn it 90 degrees. The washer keeps it from falling through.

    The same anchor will work. You just have to deck over the sand.

    Are there others that hang on the deck? Maybe Dutch could make up some titanium Dutch Deckers for us. Oh wait, I don't have to pack those... never mind.
