Excellent idea..
Test different weight / Rope length combinations.. Sounds like fun !!
- ALSO.. have extra weights on the ground tethered to the weight / pully
hookup
for very violent gusts..

- Don't know how it would fare in Ice Storms..



Bungees don't seem to weather well, but will do for the short
term. You may also consider, instead of directly tying it off
at the far end, running the rope through a pulley, with two or
three bricks (or some other suitable weight) to hold tension
on the rope.

I found a 4" pulley for about $5 at the local home-improvement
store that's sold as a laundry-line pulley. Even though it's
plastic (with a metal axle), it's tougher than it looks.
