[artshow_photo] Re: EZ Up weights

 



Lead tire balance weights get recycled and are not cheap. I doubt you'll get 100 pounds of that stuff on the cheap. 99+% of all lead is recycled nowadays. Square pipe is the best for making comcrete weights; more volume for the space. I've also got a set of concrete blocks with smooth ends that have a 2x8x16 board liquid-nailed to the top. The entire thing is painted white, and doesn't scream "Newbie". I use short lag screws to anchor the tent legs to the top of the blocks. The blocks are 38 pounds each. If I really felt ambitious, the insides could be filled with concrete bumping the weight to probably 80 pounds each. At that point it would take a straight line squall to move the tent. Adding some rubber stripping to the bottom might be an idea just to improve the adhesion on asphalt to kick up the rolling friction.
