    canopies

    Hi all
    thinking of getting an ez canopy for winter but I am concerned with the wind lifting this and it flying away.
    Does any one have any ideas how best to anchor these down for peace of mind.
    Bearing in mind that they are light and tempory ?.
    Thanks in advance.
    Jason

    Re: canopies

    Mine came with a steel stake for each leg. The base of each leg has a hole so you can drive the stake through into the ground. You can also get some sand bags that fasten to each leg with velcro to weigh each leg down if you are putting it on a paved surface. I`ve used mine without stakes in winds up to around 15 MPH without problem. If it gust much higher than that, I stake it.
    The 80/20 rule applies to detailing.

    Forget about an EZ Up for the winter ..they are just good for shade...I have about 8-10 of them ....here`s a link of something that does work, but needs to be staked down or tied down to the car ..: http://www.kmart.com/catalog/product...l&N=1582&Nty=1

    Re: canopies

    Thanks for the help to both of you that big canopys great but just too big we dont have enough room on the sites we visit.
    The car parks are a bit tight one this size would block people.
    But thanks again.
    Jason.

    Re: canopies

    They make sand bags you can attach to each leg . At 40 or so pounds for each bag you won`t have a problem .


    Scroll down the page to see what the bags look like.
