I have one of these canopies that I use occasionally at car shows. I used some old (try JC Higgins brand) barbell weights bolted together on each corner. I used a 10 pound and a 5 pound on each corner. It would take a pretty good gust to pick it up, They are a lot easier to carry to a car show than concrete blocks. I have seen some weights made for these at sporting goods stores.
No worries 👍..wind is light today and if all goes well with my current project, the canopy will come down today... but, I do have weights on the legs 😀

JC Higgins! My old man has a pistol of that brand; we think it's a High Standard Sentinel. 50 years ago.....
I wondered when I read about the weights so I looked on the 'net and JC Higgins was a Sears, Roebuck & Co. house brand for all sorts of sporting goods from 1908 until 1962 and was replaced by the Ted Williams lineup of products. AHA! A friend inherited her Dad's .22 rifle and it is engraved Ted Williams. I had thought it was made by JC Higgins but now I see it was made by High Standard.
