High Wind Precautions
Installing high wind stakes will lock the berm in place.
1.
To secure the Insta-Berm system in high
wind areas, place sandbags inside the
liner near the edges. If the berm is
empty, sandbags should also be placed
on the corners of the liner.
2.
High wind stakes should also be
installed (available only on Arctic-
Shield berms).
Warning
When using the Insta-Berm system near a helicopter or in high wind areas, it must be secured with
tie-downs or sandbags to prevent the helicopter downwash or wind from lifting the liner.
Helicopters can create enough downwash to lift an unsecured, empty berm liner completely off the
ground. This could cause a rotor-strike.
High wind stake (available on Arctic-Shield berms
only).
