King Canopy Black Weight Bags for Instant Pop Up Tents, 4 Pack

This set of weight bags does a really good job at a really reasonable price. Other reviewers said they put the sand in baggies first and then put the filled baggies in the weight bags. I did the same just to minimize any clean up should an accident happen, but actually the bags and zippers seem very sturdy. When filled, they are heavy and do a good job of holding down my shade shelter in high winds.

I like these bags. They have two ways of attaching to canopy legs: the velcro cinch that keeps them wrapped around the leg and a strap with a large eyelet which can be used for further attachment. Overcome the weak zipper by pouring the sand into a plastic bag. We cut a heavy duty black garden bag in two and stuffed it into the tubular bags then added the sand.

I bought this for our backyard after i purchased 13x13 pop up pagoda, it works well, each bag can hold up to 30 lbs. total of 120 lbs to hold your canopy. Great product!

I was expecting single weight for each leg and it surprised me when they came with double weights. The material looks good and the design will help my canopy stay in place when I need to use them.

when you have a canopy in a place where you can't put spikes in the ground, these are perfect. I filled them with gravel at home and used them at my craft show, then, when I got home, I just dumped the gravel back on the ground and put the weight bags up for another time. what I like about the weight bags is you can wrap them around the legs of a canopy, or you can drape them through the tie down ropes instead of spikes, and they work!

Best to insert clear tall plastic bags before filling the weight bags with sand. Tie them up tightly to avoid leakage and be careful not to get the plastic bags caught in the zipper. Was able to fill up to 22 lbs of sand for each corner. Not bad for the price.

Based on other reviews, I wasn't expecting this to be a super durable product. I figured we need to be gentle with the weights...don't lift or hold by the straps or loops once they are filled...and go easy on the zippers. I took others advice and used ziplock bags filled with sand and pea gravel for the weight. I have filled the weights but won't actually be using them for a couple of weeks. They seem heavy enough to hold our canopy securely in place for a tailgate. We don't plan on being outdoors in any type of extreme weather conditions so I expect good results. The fact that these wrap around the canopy legs make them a better option than the popular weight plates...and the bags are heavier. As long as we use them with care, I expect them to last.

I would have given 5 stars, but one of the zippers was broken and my husband had to rig it for it to work. Instead of using sand, we choose to use Pea Stone, which is tiny stones. I heard that using sand, it can sometimes leak, and we didn't want that to happen. The bags, worked very well, even in 10-20 mph wind. Not sure if they will withstand higher winds. Shipping was quick from Walmart. I have also ordered directly from King Canopy's, and they have some awesome products, but it was strange to find the bag weights were cheaper at Walmart then at King Canopy's. We have owned King Canopy's products for 10yrs. I highly recommend their products.

I filled them with sand and was able to fit about 25 pounds in each bag. Now that the sand is packed down I could probably fit another 5 pounds in each. They worked fine. I used them at a craft show and there were gusts of wind of 30 mph and the canopy did not budge. I am not sure yet how they would work in a wind storm. I am hoping I never have to find out.

Purchased them to add weight to our canopy placed on concrete patio floors. We didn't want to bolt the canopy legs to the concrete, nor add water or rocks into the pillars while putting it together, so we opted for external weighs that can be hidden under the canopy mosquito nettings and curtains. Don't hesitate, they do work! No other big-box sells them anymore and we were not sure they would work. We just experienced very high wind currents in CA, up to 75mph and we were concerned all night that the canopy would end at our neighbor's yard; well it did not even move an inch. We filled them up with medium size river rocks and we are very happy with our purchase. Gave them 4 star because we would have loved one more velcro strand to better accomodate the weigh on the pillar and a little larger zipper opening to make the filling of them much easier.
