Our cast iron weight plates are available in 10kg and 15kg options, engineered to slide onto the tent's leg bases. The plates stack for additional weight and feature a powder-coated finish to prevent rust and protect paddock surfaces.
For teams that need a lighter transport option, our heavy-duty sandbags offer effective anchoring without the weight of iron plates during transit. Fill them on-site with sand, gravel, or earth, then empty for compact storage and transport.
Professional tent anchoring is not just about stability — it's a safety requirement at many circuits and events. Unsecured tents can become dangerous in sudden wind gusts, posing a risk to people and equipment. Weight plates and sandbags are essential safety equipment.
We recommend a minimum of one weight per tent leg for standard conditions, and two weights per leg for exposed or elevated circuit locations. For our larger 4x6m and 4x8m tents, additional weights provide proportionally greater security.
Both weight plates and sandbags are compatible with all Elite Pro canopy tent sizes and can be used alongside stakes and guy ropes for maximum anchoring effectiveness.
