Hold downs for draught flaps
Permalink  

Has anybody seen for sale: water fillable soft plastic tubes (6cm dia. x 100cm approx) for the purpose of holding down for draught flaps and bottom annex flaps, when pegs can't be used, eg. Sites with double slabs....

I know a few bricks or logs would suffice, but who want's to carry them.

Probably cheaper to buy half a dozen 4L wine casks & recycle the bladder. If that's not enough buy another half dozen or as many as needed!

What about some lay flat 3 inch discharge hose. Fold over the end a few times & clamp. Put in your own filling & release valve connections.

Another idea. Get a couple of PVC ends, & hose clamp them on, & you can mount a garden hose connector at the end on the PVC cap.

2 litre plastic milk cartons. Light when empty, handle to tie to and you are repurposing some plastic
