Best Sandbags for Canopy, Tents & Awnings
Best Sandbag for Canopy, Tents & Awnings
Secure Your Setup with Apex® Tent Weight Sandbags
Wondering how to secure your canopy tent for an outdoor event, wedding, or market? Apex® Tent Weight Sandbags are the ultimate solution for popup canopies, display tents, gazebos, and awnings. Designed for flexibility and reliability, Apex Sandbags let you secure your structure in three different ways:
- Directly to tent legs using the full-length Velcro® wrap
- To tent corners via the sewn-in adjustable hurricane strap
- To guidelines or cords with the heavy-duty stainless D-ring
Why It Matters: High winds can lift an unanchored canopy in seconds. Apex Sandbags keep your tent safe, stable, and professional-looking on any surface — grass, concrete, sand, or indoors.
Why Apex® Is the Professional Choice
Pop-up tents are everywhere — at farmers markets, trade shows, outdoor festivals, and sporting events. They’re easy to set up but just as easy to lose control of in wind gusts. Traditional stakes can’t be used on pavement and can turn into tripping hazards. Apex® Tent Sandbags solve every one of those issues with strength, versatility, and good looks.
- Three secure attachment methods — Velcro wrap, corner strap, or D-ring connection
- Compact vertical design — saves space inside your tent footprint
- Fast filling — full-circle zipper top makes it easy and mess-free
- Built-in carry handle for quick transport
- Custom screen printing available for branded events
- Made in USA | Free U.S. Shipping
Versatile Anchoring — Three Ways to Hold Fast
- Velcro® Wrap: Fasten Apex directly to upright poles from top to bottom for maximum hold.
- Adjustable Hurricane Strap: Clip tent corners directly to the bag for added wind protection.
- D-Ring Attachment: Connect Apex to guylines, ropes, or cords for extra stability.
Built Tough for Any Event
Each Apex Sandbag holds up to 40 lbs of sand, pea gravel, or small pebbles — enough to stabilize virtually any pop-up tent or awning. The 1000D Cordura® nylon shell is waterproof, dustproof, and abrasion-resistant for years of use in all weather.
Pro Tip: Use at least 25–40 lbs per leg for a 10×10 tent. Check local event or market regulations — many require a minimum of 100 lbs total weight.

Canopy Tent Sandbag FAQs
How much weight do I need to hold down a 10×10 canopy?
Most event safety guidelines require at least 100 lbs total (25 lbs per leg). Some jurisdictions require 160 lbs (40 lbs per leg). Apex Sandbags hold up to 40 lbs each to meet these standards.
What’s the best way to secure a popup tent when stakes aren’t allowed?
Use Apex® Tent Sandbags — safer and more attractive than ropes or improvised weights. They attach securely to tent legs, corners, or guylines without trip hazards or surface damage.
Will Apex Sandbags work on concrete or indoors?
Yes. The soft, non-abrasive base protects floors and won’t slip or scuff, making Apex the ideal choice for convention centers and indoor events.
