This is what I’m using to tie my hives down. I added I bolts to both sides of my hive stands, tie the rope to one side and use this on the other. You can tie or untie it in about 2 seconds. Rope can be replaced every few years. Easy to change based on height. Not as solid as a ratchet strap but not nearly as expensive. I’m really pleased, thought I’d share and start a thread so others can tell us what they’ve done. Bricks on top was NOT an option as my hives are in plain sight of the house. My hives have to look nice for the wife…. I’m not sure bricks would do for our Hurricane force winds. I hope this does, it’s certainly better than nothing. I’m getting some more for my trailer, great to tie anything down.
