I neglected to brace well enough in one corner this year. I have significant bowing. The good news is the ice is solid to the ground. IS there anyway to maker sure this will not blow out should there be a thaw?

Thanks

Rebar (or some other sturdy object - something that won't break as you drive it into frozen ground) and a sledgehammer. You will want to avoid leaving any of it above the boards for safety reasons and drive it deep enough to gain the proper support.

Thanks. I am not sure how it will go through the ground but may have to give it a try

A few years back I had a similar issue and used a large diameter drill into the ground followed by the rebar by sledgehammer. Pour a little water in during freeze and it seemed to hold up. The deeper the water the more of these extra supports you'll need. If it is real deep (more than 18 - 24") you may want to think about a 2x4 support attached at an angle 24" above ground. You can secure this by similar method of drilling thru board and into ground, followed by rebar introduced with sledge.
Good luck!
