What canopy weight system do you recommend for this product? There will be winds where I'll be putting this up, and no stakes allowed.

I am not sure if you are just putting this up for an event or keeping it up for an extended period of time. If it is just for an event, then I would use sand bags tied to the bottom of each of the poles. I live in Vancouver, Wa near the Gorge and we get High winds about 4 to 5 times during the year, and my canopy is set up year round and acts as another room off my patio, and we have the canopy bolted to the house in several places on one side of the canopy and several steal stakes in the ground on the other side where we taped the poles to the stakes. It has servived 2 springs one summer, and a winter. I am very happy with this one, and over the years we have tried several other canopies. Hope the sand bag idea is helpful, dress them up if this is for an important event. 20 lbs per pole is my suggestion. GOOD-LUCK !!!!

yes, you need some kind of canopy frame to use this tent. Also, a strong wind will pick the tent up, so it must have some way to keep it secured to the ground.

The metal poles are thin gauge, similar to electrical conduit, so they are lightweight. I've had mine up for several months in Arizona sun with no problems whatsoever. I contacted the seller to make sure a replacement canopy was available, and it is. I plan on purchasing a spare canopy to put away for a rainy day. The embedded fibers make any ripping unlikely, I'm just leery of UV damage.

This item is heavy and quite stable...substantial weight...if one wishes to secure to the ground, there are plenty of options...you might use re bar ..pounded into the earth , on either side, or metal tent stakes, secured with short bungees, etc, etc...I have one set secured between cedar planters, filled with dirt, and plants..my second one is secured to a black metal , wire bookcase , secured with bungees...I have never regretted purchasing two sets from Amazon, owned both for six months...this is a top quality purchase, be assured..best of luck.

Once you put the canopy on the frame and loop the straps over the eyebolts at the bottom of the legs, it will hold together very well. Mine blew off my deck in a strong windstorm because I didn't have it secured down. It stayed completely together in spite of rolling several times. Much easier putting up with 2 people, but you can do it alone.

You will need an extension cord that is rated for outdoor use. This weight is approximately 10 pounds...I use rocks for weight but fastening it to something may be a better alternative since strong winds can lift just about anything that is not fastened securely.

The frame does hold the tent up sturdy, without the stakes in the ground. As long as its not too windy, as not to blow the tent over. That should not be a problem if you were in it.

The canopy is made to be planted in the ground using the included ground spikes to stabilize the canopy.if your going to put it on a cement surface and its windy it will be a problem.

First of all. the mfg warns about high wind application. But if you weight down the 6 legs, there are hol;es for screws on the end of each leg. You couls also use a conrete block to anchor each leg. I would reccomend that you be able to fold down the whole canopy when not utilizing it, to avoid a heavy strain on the unit. After all it is made to be mobile and not permantly set up. Otherwise a very attractive and functional canopy. I would reccomern with the cavet athat you do take precautions when in use..

You will need to use a ladder and should have an adequate reach and good balance to take the canopy down. Recommend you have at least one other person to help.

We just set ours up this past weekend. It comes with stakes (8) - 4 to hold down each corner along the floor, and 4 more attached to string and hooks along the upper portion (right below the arch) of the green house...similar to a tent. We have not had any high winds yet, but I assume it will hold up pretty well.

I'd recommend picking up the Coleman 10 inch tent stakes. That's what I use. They are heavy duty and good for securing the tent to the ground. You'll need six at a minimum. The unit comes with decent stakes but I'd use them more for securing guy lines. You'll also need to pick up a heavy duty tarp to use at a foot print under it.

It has on the bottom corners rings for tent stakes. I weighs nothing so will blow away. Comes with light weight tent stakes. You might want to find better tie down stakes.

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.

Dear Jamie,Good day. Cherry here.Many thanks for your interests in our product. Actually it's better to set this tent on the grass ground. By the way, in order to make it stronger,you may need to use some sand bags or weights when bad weather. Hope you can understand.If anything else needs our help then,just contact us freely.Nice dayCherry

I am not sure which poles you are talking about...The poles that run through the canopy are tent like poles with the little stretchy cord inside and they metal connecters between each section of pole. The poles that support the safety net are probably a little bit more sturdy. Either way, I think that you could put a tarp on top of it. Good luck though. Our canopy has had problems withstanding any sort of wind at all. We have purchased 2 and the 2nd one is not up because we are afraid it will rip again... it has already been torn and repaired once. I wouldn't buy this item.

We always set ours up on the patio and use bungee cords (2) to secure it from the top of the screen to the deck top. We only leave it up for the duration of the party due to possible issues with wind. Any reasonable wind could tweak it and cause damage. The framing is very solid, however one never knows when that freak wind may blast through.
