US Weight Tailgater Canopy Weights Windblown tents, canopies, and umbrellas are the number one cause of injuries and insurance claims at outdoor events where canopies are used. Most canopy manufacturers recommend 24 to 50 lbs. per leg on a 10 x 10 canopy. Choose between four options 20 lbs., 30 lbs., 40 lbs., or fill your own canopy weights from US Weight. These interlocking weights securely capture the canopy legs up to 1 wide.
