The UK is preparing for Storm Dave this Easter weekend, with the Met Office forecasting winds of 60-70mph. Multiple yellow weather warnings have been issued, particularly for unsecured garden items like trampolines, which can become dangerous projectiles in high winds. Alex Price, product manager at outdoor toys, emphasized that trampolines can lift in winds as low as 40mph, especially during sudden gusts. To mitigate risks, residents are advised to secure trampolines with ground anchors or DIY alternatives such as heavy-duty tent pegs or ropes tied to sturdy structures. Additionally, positioning trampolines near windbreaks, tipping them on their sides, and removing safety nets during severe winds can enhance stability. Other outdoor items like climbing frames and garden furniture should also be secured to prevent them from being blown away. Following heavy rain, it's crucial to check that anchor points remain secure as the ground may become softer. These precautions are essential to ensure safety and minimize potential damage during the storm.
