I first posted this last September, but there’s been a renewed interest in my how-to videos!

This is how I made ten 40-pound tube weights for my 24x24’ booth setup. Even when I am traveling with just a 10x20’ pop up, I bring all ten. I lend them out to others if they’re unprepared.

I use these in conjunction with staking. If you’re not allowed to stake, or aren’t able to, you can tie your canopy directly to the top of these using paracord or ratchet straps.

Here’s a link to one of my Amazon lists that has the ratchet straps and Velcro zip ties that I personally use, on it: https://amzn.to/3QdO80v

A big thank you to Rob of @terrafirmawoodcraft for his assistance in making these.

Put a cheap plastic tap piece on instead and fill with water and empty and refill when needed

I did the same with cinder blocks.. add cement to each side..added a hook.. yes they are heavy but with 2 hooks you can attach tie downs or whatever.. cross or or anyway you want and nothing is taken the pop up down.. used them in AZ in a high winds.. they worked perfectly

How about just using clean stone in lieu of concrete?

Made these and use a chain to attach them to the tent with C hooks. They are easy to use and reliable!!!

This is so crazy. Get the weights on Amazon. This x 4. Your hourly rate in life is worth all this work and then some. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XQ6BLLJ?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_mob_b_fed_asin_title_0_0

Damn. Just buy some cinder blocks. That's a lot of damn money now. You got to tote those heavy things around. Not a good idea
