How can you weigh a canopy?

For a canopy that is 10x10x or larger, the canopies should weigh at least 20-40 lbs per leg. A canopy that is 10x20X or larger should weigh 50 lbs per leg. At the same time, take down the canopy as well as the weights. The wind can also affect take-down times. Keep your eyes on the task at hand and do not let the wind distract you.
