Temporary structure tiedown system?
Temporary structure tiedown system?
(OP)
I am looking into some kind of system which will anchor a semi-permanent structure to a parking lot surface (assume asphalt). No real foundation here. Cable and ropes like a tent are not acceptable not that I would know where to find allowable pullout of a tent stake anyway. Is there some sort of manufactured systems out there (with code approval or allowable loading) or is this just a free for all to design up with whatever I can scrape together?
A typical anchor bolt into the asphalt just doesn't seem like it will work for a number of reasons.
Any tips, pointers, or links appreciated.

I personally have never used them and someone here can most likely be more beneficial to you in the application area.

Something we have used successfully are K-rails, ecology blocks, highway barriers - whatever they are called in your part of the country. Typically big concrete blocks weighing 2,000 - 6,000 lbs depending on size. Most have re-bar "hooks" embedded in them. We lay them out as required and tie to them
Seems to work well. Cheap, a little hard to move - but work.
