Need some ideas for canopy weights?
At least 10 lbs per canopy leg is recommended.
​
Easy DIY tip: Many tall canopy sandbags can accommodate 2-liter soda bottles instead of loose sand. Pouring and transporting sand can be messy, so....
A 2-liter soda bottle, when filled with water, weighs 4.4 pounds.
A 2-liter bottle of sand is about 8 pounds - 2 on each leg would be more than enough.
A 1-gallon jug of water weighs 8.3 lbs.
Even easier: Dumbell/barbell weights and zip ties!
More complicated DIY tip: a soda bottle filled with quick-set concrete will weigh even more. An eye bolt inserted in the bottle opening as it dries allows the weights to be hung from the corners.
