Whether you’re using your tent at a trade show, a craft fair, a farmers market, a festival, the beach, or a backyard barbecue the number one thing to think about is safety. Celina Tent’s Fast Shade and Fast Shade Pronto pop up tents, available in a variety of sizes, protect from the scorching sun and unexpected rain showers. The number one enemy of a pop up tent is wind. Pop-up tents that are not properly anchored down can create a very dangerous situation for everyone involved. Most outdoor markets require vendors to use a minimum of 20 pound tent weights for each tent leg.
Celina Tent offers three different anchor options as well as the steel pins and tie down ropes included with the tent frames. The most common of the three is the Fast Shade Sandbag. These will secure your tailgating tent when stakes are not an option. The Fast Shade Sandbag is compatible with our Aluminum and Steel easy up tent frames. The consumer simply fills the bag with gravel or sand and tightens the webbing around the leg of the Fast Shade Tent Frame leg. The bags are made of durable polyester with a zipper top to conceal up to 10 pounds of sand per weight bag. If one is used per leg, you get a total of 40 pounds of holding power for a 10x10 and 10x15 frame and 60 pounds of holding power for a 10x20 frame.
The Celina Tent Fast Shade Leg Weight is a square black powder coated steel weight. The weight slides over the footpad and around the frame leg to provide additional protection against winds. They weigh 11 pounds each and can be stacked on top of one another for extra holding power. If one is used per leg, you get a total of 44 pounds of holding power for a 10x10 and 10x15 frame and 66 pounds of holding power for a 10x20 frame.
The Celina Tent Fast Shade Water Weight is a square plastic weight that you fill with water on site to secure your Fast Shade pop up canopy. The weight slides over the footpad and around the frame leg to provide additional protection against winds. This weight travels the best as it weighs very little when empty. When filled with water, the Fast Shade Water Weight weighs 22 pounds and can be stacked on top of one another for extra holding power. If one is used per leg, you get a total of 88 pounds of holding power for a 10x10 and 10x15 frame and 132 pounds of holding power for a 10x20 frame.
Farmers Market Tents and Exhibitor Tents are temporary shelters. In the event of severe weather, the tent installer / end user is responsible for anticipating and monitoring weather conditions. Failure to evacuate the tent site in severe weather can result in serious injuries or fatalities. Never take shelter in a tent during inclement weather.
