    Can you suspend these when filled from the top of the tent frame versus them touching the ground?
    1 Answer
    These are actually meant to hang from the top and rest on the ground, so essentially they can be hung, but they do need to rest on the ground for stability.

    I am considering purchasing the Caravan 10 x 10 Displayshade Canopy Value Package + 4 Sidewalls. Will these Undercover Gravity tubes with quick straps work with that product? Also, will it allow the walls to be used? If not, what is the best weight option available? I would prefer to use a refillable water weight.
    1 Answer
    Thank you for your inquiry. Undercover gravity weights will work with the Caravan frame, you would just need to make sure that you do not add weight for the frame to support, so make sure the weighted bags are resting on the surface. You can use any type of weight of your choice to fill the bags.

    Are these UnderCover Gravity Tubes hard or flexible? I am using plastic buckets now and would rather have something that folds up after use to save space.

    from Highland, CA
    These are flexible, but very robust. Absolute winners, no matter what.... as it says, they are tubes, made of some really heavy duty nylon or other plastic material, sturdy and can be filled with a lot of different materials, including water. I am not so sure about emptying them every time and folding them up, but when they arrived they where folded into a neat little 12in stack and even come with a little storage bag. I managed to get just regular 50 pound play sand bags at the hardware store and maneuver them into the gravity tubes. I can see filling these with dry or wet material. If you have work out weights like dumbbells or flat disks, you can stack those into the tubes and wouldn't have to worry about lugging them around in these bags. I can assure you that these gravity tubes will beat your buckets hands down. hope this helped a bit

    Yes, they are waterproof. They are designed to be able to hold water as one of the options for weighing them down.
    Dawn H. - eCanopy Product Specialist
    on August 19, 2014
    The directions say you can fill them with water. In a test trial I did so and they did not leak, but the top just scrunches closed so if you were to tip over a bag, the water could leak from the top.

    Use rocks, pepples or sand instead if you don't have access to a hose. The water can be messy if it spills; the top didn't seal it completely closed for me. Great quality, though... I highly recommend these.

    Weight without the weight
    Our new car is at capacity with all of my display items and we couldn't bring our usual weights, a friend recommended gravity tubes and they worked very well. Luckily the art fair I participated in, had access to a fire hydrant so filling up the gravity tubes with water was very easy. Of course, disposal at the end of the show was even easier. During breakdown of the event, there was a series of microbursts and some artists who had broken down had problems, we left our Gravity tubes up until the very last item was packed. They did their job, allowing us to travel lightweight and having sufficient weight for events along the way.
    ProsLightweight for travel- we don't want to overload our car, the Gravity tubes allow for sufficient weight at our destination while not adding in weight or bulk for the drive. These were very useful including the tie downs that come with it.

    Easy to Attach and Secure Your Canopy
    I wasn't sure whether to order these (if it was really necessary), but I am so happy that I did.
    I filled them with sand and attached them to the canopy with ease. These are a great tool if you have to set up on concrete/black top! These kept the canopy in place during high wind gusts. Other vendors brought cinder blocks and asked how to get these.. I was happy to refer them to eCanopy!

    Worth Every Penny
    I bought these weights after seeing them on a few other vendor's canopy. I have used the cumbersome concrete filled PVC tubes ( which crack and look ugly); I also bought another fill-with-sand weight from Amazon which, ripped again and again. I finally got these and they are the BEST. I see using these for several seasons as they are extremely well-constructed and heavy duty material. The straps securing them to the canopy are easily adjustable and the whole thing is easy to attach and load. I am using sand, but love the option of water as I've seen other vendors use in them.

    best weight bags out there!
    We have friends with little weights and we've had sand bags but these are the BEST! Compact and light for storage and when we want to use these we just pull them out and fill them with water (which we get from the campsite hookup) then when it's time to leave we just dump the water on the ground and put them back into their storage bag. So much nicer not to have heavy sand bags to haul around and sand leaking out all over.

    Quality Product
    We filled these with a small amount of rocks the size of ping pong balls... approx enough to fill a milk gallon container each. It worked just fine when gusts of wind came. If it there was more wind, we would've needed more rocks, but for a mild day, this amount was fine.
    ProsEasy to use and attach.

    Tent Weights
    With an event pending and many tents up wind starting to show signs of getting stronger for the upcoming weekend we purchased some sets of these tubs so we did not need to use old school sand tubs to help our existing weights hold our tents down. They were great, we filled them with water so we could store them easily after our event. We did try to dry the insides out so that we do not have mildew issues next time but it looks to be a great freight with a waterproof interior and clean fabric exterior. Not cheap but great product and if this I what you are looking fir you will be happy with choosing this.

    Gravity Tubes Rock!
    Vendor fairs are usually on asphalt so it is not possible to stake down the Canopy. Most fairs require weighted corners to keep the tent from lift off in gusty, windy days. The gravity tubes are ideal for anchoring the legs of the canopy. I've used 5 gal. buckets of sand, cement tubes and barbells - all not easy to manage. the gravity tubes can work with sand, rock, even water to add weight to the tent.
    Proseasy to fill, easy to carry.
    ConsWell, i first filled them with mountain granite - which is not a smooth rock. it started to cut the bags. I'd recommend round rock or gravel to protect the tube. Also it did not come with directions on how the straps work. None of the ladies could figure them out.
