Never take the shortcut.
Be prepared for the wind!

 
   

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 featuring  the EZ-Weights System

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.
