I am planning on putting one of these in a school property. Is there anyway to tie it down to the ground so it won't be stolen?

I contemplated the same thing. The only way I saw was to drill a hole in the plastic foot and then chain it to an anchor in the ground.

No, there is not. I have mine on a pier where it is always windy. I drilled holes in the bottom of the legs and fastened the bench to the deck with stainless steel screws. However, this will not deter a thief from stealing it. You could chain it to something that would make stealing the bench not worthwhile.

I hang mine from a tree limb sometimes and sometimes hang it from my clothesline. You can string a rope between two trees or post and hang it that way too. Maybe set it on top of a garbage can.

I haven't had this problem, BUT I can see where it would be a problem. I guess you'd have to anchor the poles into the ground. Even that wouldn't be a guarantee.

Twist (like you would a jar top) and turn it. It will go down and then secure it by turning it into place.

I would think you could use it. I used stakes to secure mine to the ground so as long as you can secure it can be anywhere.

No. You'd have to make something that would work. I suggest a string tether of some sort.

I haven't been able to find any such tether, but then I'd also be a little hesitant to set something up, since the weight of some systems would be a pretty big hit to you, if you dropped it. One issue is that the tether would have to be connected to the handle, as anywhere else would constantly change the balance. It's certainly nerve wracking sometimes, but it can be best to just get a solid grip, and watch your step. Good boots, tight screws, planning and practice are going to be your best bet. Wish I could give you a better answer, but that's all I have.

You could probably make a standoff out of wood and run the wire through some sort of conduit down the concrete wall into the standoff. They are designed to completely conceal the wire to avoid tampering.

I guess it depends on wind conditions. If it is not windy, no need to secure it. If you are concerned about wind, you could place something that weighs a few pounds, like a small sandbag on the feet.It is really pretty sturdy. We have used ours several times with no need to secure it to the ground.

It has to be secured at the bottom. It comes with stakes for use on the ground. You would have to be extremely inventive to figure out a way to use it on a driveway.

No there isn't , But my sister haves one and shes Ties hers up at the top to the house.And it holds it in place. Maybe that will help. It is top heavy.

The rack comes with allen bolts thus making it a somewhat slow process to take down. So it would look rather odd if someone tries to steal it at a public spot. Having said that, I do not know of any security system for it.

Theft is not a huge concern in our area. It can be locked and we have it secured to the ground and against our block wall in the backyard but more for the elements. It is a very heavy duty tent and would require some serious maneuvering and cutting. We have three bikes and yard tools in it.

You can stake it to the ground but I would purchase stakes from a hardware store. The ones that come with it aren't great in big wind.

No, it does not come with anything to anchor it to the ground. It's light weight and tips over if kids push the walls.

I would not leave it unprotected. Search Amazon for plastic project box or WaterTight Cord Lock.

My husband used cement to anchor it in the ground. It is a great buy and I am very glad that I bought it!
