Tiny House Tie Down for Wind & Flooding

It is important to ensure that your tiny house is securely tied down to resist wind and floods. There are several methods to achieve this. In this example, a temporary screw pile has been driven into the ground. Temporary setups can be advantageous in terms of law and regulation, as they allow for easy removal and transportation of all parts if the home needs to be moved. The trailer has a tie-down point with a wire rope and turnbuckle for tightening (this example could be tighter). This tiny home uses four tie-downs at 6.6 meters long. Additional points may be necessary for longer homes. The four ropes pull against each other at an angle relative to the side of the house. Ensuring the home is stable and secure during the construction phase is also important.
