Eurmax USA 150LBS Weight Capacity Weight Bags for Pop up Canopy Outdoor Shelter,Gazebo Instant shelter Leg Canopy Weights, Sand Bags, Set of 4(Black)

So, we wanted a gazebo for out little yard outside our RV. BUT we live in a windy area of NM, so we knew some adapting would be needed. We decided on these weights rather than the ones that came with because these were heavier and looked better made. We've had for a few months and they are doing great with DAILY use! We've had multiple storms and they don't budge an inch and the linings have held up wonderful. We put up the gazebo and pull down daily to prevent rips in the canvas or flying and take these on and off twice a day and they are still doing great. We do have ground stakes which I heard about in the reviews of the gazebo. We got the screw in ones that you use a drill for. I can't recommend the combo enough. We used just the weights until the screws came, and they were pretty good but we did get some movement. With the combo though the frame doesn't budge a bit. And we've had up to 50 mph winds with them. Great buy!

We have been using a shade tent at Reddington Beach, FL for years. When we do, wind is unpredictale. There may be no wind at 2pm, but then high gusts an hour later. We have used tent stakes (included with tent), dog stakes (screw into ground and attach leash) and plastic grocery bags filled with sand. None compare to these weight bags. This year (2018) we had 3 shade tents set up side by side. One was anchored by the included stakes, another used dog stakes. Our (10x10) was held by 4 Eurmax Weight Bags 3/4 filled with sand. We attached one bag to each tent leg (4). My guess is that 3/4 filled they were 30 pounds each (we bought the small version bag. The large one could be filled heavier.) We were at the beach 4 days. Each day, at some point, the wind picked up. Our tent stood like a fortress. The canvas canopy was flapping, but the tent held firm. Not so with the 2 other tents. The one with the included stakes began to lift off the sand and had to be held down. They folded it and put it away. The dog stake tent also started to lift and the dog stakes were replaced by sand filled grocery bags. It then held, but still moved. Four people sat at the tent legs and held on to them to add weight. Our tent? It was a rock. No wind lift. Another plus: We filled the bags the first day and did not empty them. At the end of the day I carried them to the room and put them in the closet. Ready for the next day. Emptied them when we left. The other tents? The included stake tent did not come back out (back in the car). The dog stake tent used the plastic grocery bags. They split if carried, so they had to be replaced daily. Plus, no way to make them heavy. Bottom line: The bags are excellent. Well made and heavy. They hold down the fort. One More Plus: Like I said, no need to empty them. Keep them filled all week. At day’s end, carry all four back to your room at one time. 120 pounds of sand. It’s a nice little workout and you may impress wife, which makes for a happy life.🙂

These sand bags worked perfect to hold my new gazebo in place. Till we could get someone to anchor it down to the ground. Well made, will save in case of an emergency.

I purchased these weight bags to substitute for smaller weight bags that came with my 10' x 20' Quictent car port. These bags are about twice as large as the ones that came with the carport. We have had some big winds in recent times, so I just want to be a little bit safer. The 4 weight bags each have 2 compartments to be filled with sand or pea gravel. I live near a sandy beach, and have access to plenty of sand. But, the beach access requires going up/down a very long stairway ( 4-5 stories). So, I figured it would be easier to use pea gravel from a home center. The 4 weight bags were filled completely using 2 whole bags of pea gravel (0.5 cf each bag). This is the standard bag sold in home centers. I paid $3.50/bag. Since it is not sold by weight, no weight is given on the bag. But, in general, each bag of 0.5 cf of pea gravel weighs 50 lbs. So, each weight bag when filled with pea gravel will weigh 25 lbs. The bags are very sturdy, easy to fill, easy to close at top with Velcro seal (and, I slightly turned the edge over to keep water from entering). The one thing that I disliked (and therefor downgraded by 1 star) is the fact that the bottom loop of the bag is supposed to slide onto whatever pole you are using. The top loop slides on perfectly. The bottom loop is much smaller, and will not slip onto any normal pole that is used for a shelter or car port. I don't know if this was on-purpose, or if it was a manufacturing defect. But, it is a clear failure that the bottom loop cannot be attached to the pole. But, I think the top loop plus the Velcro middle band should be adequate for staying in place. I simply don't understand why the bottom loop is such a failure.

Perfect. Easy to use. One arrived with a bad seam, the company sent a replacement next day.

Using these for my 10x13 semi permanent gazebo. I filled them with pea gravel and they were easy to fill. Only problem I had was with getting them around my support poles as they were around 2 inches. I like the fact that they had a bottom loop and a top loop. I purchased some Euromax ground anchors and attached the loop to the anchor. I am going to attach some sort of hook to my support poles and link the top loop of the bag to it. This way I have the weight of the bag and the support of the anchor on each pole. Right now just have the top loop wrapped around the pole and through the middle strap so pole could lift out of the bag if winds are strong enough to start the gazebo to flip. Overall seem sturdy and well built.

I filled these bags with 3/4 clean gravel to stabilize a patio table being used with a large umbrella. Worked perfectly and I love that they are portable and versatile. The velcro closure is excellent and the carrying loop is very strong. These are made very, very well.

Perfecta calidad. El precio es justo por lo que compras.

The product photos show a piece of webbing stitched from top to bottom that appears to be designed to be a handle to make it easier to carry these bags when they are full of sand. This does not exist on what I was sent.

I have bags of sand on hand for another project, perfect to fill these weight bags for my pop up gazebo. I have just put it up but I'm sure they will be fine, nice and sturdy fabric with Velcro closings..
