What tent weights work well with the side walls in place?

I had to buy better pegs and straps to hold the tent down from the wind when we re on grass. We are thing of buying the black weights that you fill with sand.

I wouldn't put to much weight on any of the walls. My tent collapsed with snow on it, it literally collapsed in and it was not even that much of weight.

I have actually bought both concrete blocks and the tent weights that they sell at Dick's Sporting Good. I like the concrete blocks best.

Sorry for the late response. I was out of town. You don't want anything too heavy or it will not balance well as the counter weights are not that heavy. Smaller quick re lease plates will do the trick or get one of those small tripod heads that is used for basic photography.

small weights (I used 5lbs weights) and resistance band that attaches to the door.

U-bolts are a good method. You also might want to drill a hole thru poles both and insert a long, locking bolt w/nut to avoid minor movement in windy conditions.

Could always try a hardware store or camping store they have a few good sturdy mounting brackets, just check the weight they take.

Just staking it down completely (8 pounts around the perimeter) is pretty secure. If you're expecting really strong winds then you can add guylines from the top corners. The wind fastness ultimately depends on your stakes and the soil type.We camp at a beach on Lake Superior a couple times a summer and have had strong onshore winds (strong enough to rock our trailer) and this tent with the extra guylines had no problem staying up.

The weights worked fine for us on a New Jersey beach in July. Not real strong winds, but there was a breeze every day, and the weights kept it stable. We used the stakes and lines included with our canopy on the first two days, but didn't bother with them on the next five days and had no problems with movement at all.

I would recommend plastic covered weights. The holes in steel weights are to large.

I used some double sided heavy duty sticky foam pads. Each inch holds 5 lbs. put it all over the base and it sticks with no problems.

The wall is easy to attach and can be fixed on any side of the tent. If you had four of them, you could easily close up the view of your tent.

The EZ up weights are made specifically to go with the EZ Up canopies, in that there is a metal piece that fits through a hole at the bottom of each of the four legs. This anchors the weights securely to the legs of the tent. That said, I must admit that we almost never actually attach the metal bars through the holes. I use the canopy several times a month at art shows and we just wrap the velcro around the legs (very strong velcro straps!). I guess I would put the metal bars through the holes if it were really, really windy! Hope this helps.

I am using these weights on a logo brand canopy now and find them to work very well. Simple and easy to use. Keep in mind that these weights are only 5 pounds each and work well in moderate windy conditions. Strong winds and strong wind gust will be a problem no matter what you are using except for a good ground anchor. I hope this helps.

Hmmm, why would you want to add weights to one side? You can place one foot in the center and exercise it alone. It would work with weight on one side (as long as it's not enough to tilt it), I guess, but why?

while camping i use a piece of firewood on the "arms", then place rocks on the ends of the wood for stability. i was worried that the arms were too flimsy for anything too heavy like the rocks directly. the stakes is a great idea, but sometimes were are on blacktop or cement, or hard desert ground without the ability to use stakes!

Hello; This item comes with standard stakes to put around the base of the tents side walls and it has heavy duty black stakes to use on the perimeter poles of the unit. Please review the pictures that were provided in the listing to have an idea of what the large stakes would look like.

they would have to be attached to the side walls.bottom is a "false" bottom and very thin removable wood. wouldn't trust it too hold weight very far above ground

It may work for the sides but my concern would be the one-foot difference in height as it attaches with two small hooks to the top of the canopy frame. The excess material would hang, making it awkward to stake down and affect the necessary zipper tension. Another thing to consider is that if strong winds get underneath the tent, you'd have a heck of a time getting it to stay down without weight inside. That was my experience, even with the 10 x 10 canopy.
