Canopy weights are essential for stabilizing canopies, especially in windy conditions. They come in various forms, including sandbags, water weights, and weight plates, and can be found at retailers like Amazon Canada, Walmart, Home Depot, and Home Hardware.

Types of Canopy Weights

Sandbags: Fillable bags that are placed around the legs of the canopy.
Water Weights: Similar to sandbags, but filled with water for added weight.
Weight Plates: Solid plates that can be attached to or placed around the canopy legs.
DIY Options: PVC pipes filled with concrete or buckets filled with sand are also popular choices, according to High Desert Farmers Market and Florida International University.
