Okay, why not chains, other than the obvious solid tugging that
occurs, but methinks that could be negated by using a heavy cable tied
down at several intervals with powerline anchors, that way the tugging
would be absorbed by the cable.


Here in Alaska the usual tiedown is 1/2" nylon ropes, usually tied in
such a way that tension can be added without undoing the know (in case a
gust hits while it is being tightened. Personally, I like to use a
packers' hitch which allows compound leverage to be applied with the
ropes, which reduces the tendency to loosen over time.
