Mostly just for shade 1 week a year. If it gets windy, they tend to blow away. We had a storm roll thru near by last year, canopies were flying away, so they need to come down quickly - if you can. Pits are a couple miles away from the starting line!
Cause everybody's drinkin' too much coffee...

I wonder if them agricultural Hoops would serve the purpose? Around here they use that semi-clear poly film to cover everything from berries to cannabis
. Lord knows we do get some wind to deal with. That season is approaching quickly. 
Last big one I had took flight. I had to destroy it before it could hit the car. I won't do that again. I was thinking of getting one and sewing in modified billows to relieve pressure rapidly during gusts.
Snake bites work well. Me and my childhood friend Craig (RIP) used to use a shot of Crown Royal and a shot of Peppermint Schnapps. Although there are many variations.

If it don't work well for the intended purpose, have another dose and you won't care about it
Exactly. I remember Craig and I both downed 19 double shots one Christmas probably about 1989 and could still stand up. Although with great difficulty. I sure do miss my friend.If it don't work well for the intended purpose, have another dose and you won't care about it

I screw lag bolts thru the feet on my pop-up canopy. I would zip them out and fold up if any winds or storms were in the forecast. Cordless 3/8 impact gun may drive them into the salt?

Yes, 8" lag screws directly into the salt, but big gusts will rip them apart as it is so open and flat. Typically tie down to the trailer also. Just need a decent quality but also inexpensive. Frame being the more important part.
That is more of a Pop Up style. I want one with the 1.5" conduit like framing.
Take some 5 gallon Buckets screw the legs thru into 2x4.
Fill the Buckets with sand. .
I'm sure you can find some around there if you look hard enough.
AANNNDD just like that I have groundhogs.
Had one, it was junk. Mind you wind was crazy that night. And it takes time abd tools to set up. They make a double length pop up sun shade, car club has one, its nice. Had screw on foot pads that we put sand bags on.
When I am in Carlisle, I use used brake rotors to hold down the tie downs on the four corners of the pop-up. Seems to work pretty good.
Well ok!
I can get into that. Cool
Nice lookin' Stude!
