There are lots of ideas on the web, type in anchor ez ups in your search engine.....One i like that is not heavy at the time.
get 5 gallon buckets at depot or whever, at the event fill them with water, bungee handle to ez up top supports to where the bucket is just touching the ground, water has a ton of wieght & make sure you do a couple of sides or all sides....

:shocked: High wind, Rain, & 2 team members not feelin so good..getting sick today, early dismissal ray: not looking so good..

You're wrong!

5 gallons of water is only 42 lbs.



See! 4 years of engineering school is useful.
