Camping platforms

[volcboy]

Apart from large rocks and cords, are there any other effective methods are there for attaching a tent to a wooden platform?

I haven't thought of any - just wondering if anyone on here uses/has used other methods.

Some of the ones on the Arthurs have nails inside each of the boards which was a GREAT idea as you could "peg" it out anywhere you wanted!!
Cords do work well providing you have enough, I used this technique......

Heres a couple of other options:

Neither is very 'packing freindly' but both are very effective

Yeh would be great for the overland track, but im not sure i'd carry them through the Arthurs!! The hook especially looks a good idea

The OT platforms look to be quite a bit thicker. Havent been into the arthurs since the platforms were built but they look like just pine decking. A few cup hooks would be handy but they need to be carried in a hard container or something. Your way gets the support close to the tent, any method to do this is a lot better than just attaching to the platform perimeter.
