When
purchasing a set of canopy tent
weights you may want to take into account
the type of shade canopy you intend to
use as some will withstand the forces
of nature better than others.
We have provided detailed information on the
subject in a condensed article by Carl Buehler*
to help you make a more informed
decision for a safer exhibit.
Or,
if you prefer, you can go
directly to the Shade
Canopy Weights page

In
response to readership concerns over
the hazardous effects of severe
weather on
artists’ display systems,
Sunshine Artist conducted an in-depth
survey of canopy
systems. The responses
provide both artists
and promoters with specifications on
the construction and design of popular
canopy
systems including scientific
calculations on wind force pressures
along with manufacturer
advisories.
 After
reading this article you will have
objective data with which to evaluate
your display system and assist you in
making a still subjective, but more
informed decision, on when to hold or
when to fold.
You may also learn
a few tips on how to insure a more
secure setup.
Identical
surveys were sent to the six major
U.S.
manufacturers of portable canopy
display systems for artists.
We wish to thank all of the
manufacturers for taking time during
their busiest season to reply.
