Weight discs and sandbags for FleXtents® pop-up gazebos

When using a FleXtents® pop up gazebo, it is important to take certain safety precautions. FleXtents® pop up gazebos are the leading brand in Europe and one of the many reasons for this is the strong and lightweight materials. However, the lightweight materials are easy to lift and move, and it makes the gazebo an easy target when outside in windy weather. The sturdy aluminium and steel frames weigh next to nothing and that is great as it makes the gazebos easy to handle, store and transport. The downside of this is that you need to secure your FleXtents® pop-up gazebo when in use, as it is very sensitive to wind. The good news is that it is very easy to secure your FleXtents® gazebo using a Safety Pack from Flextents.com. A Safety Pack includes ground pegs and storm straps, which will keep the gazebo in place. If you for some reason cannot use ground pegs, we offer other safety solutions like weight discs and sandbags. Using one or more of these safety measurements, you can keep your gazebo safe and keep it from tilting or - in worst case - fly away. Please read over Safety Advice in the shop and do not pitch your FleXtents® pop-up gazebo if a storm or similar has been forecasted. Please be aware that even much less wind than a storm can cause troubles if you do not take precautions.

Weight discs for securing your FleXtents® pop up gazebo

If you for some reason cannot use our Safety Packs with storm pegs and storm straps, we recommend you use weight discs or sand bags to secure your FleXtents® gazebo. It could be that you have to place your gazebo on a wooden surface, flagstones, or on tarmac. It is very easy to secure your FleXtents® pop up gazebo by placing weight discs or sand bags on the feet of the gazebo to weigh it down to prevent it from lifting in case of too much wind. Another solution is a combination of our Safety Packs and weight discs. No matter how you secure your gazebo, it is important that you make sure that everything is in place before using the structure. Make sure that the ground pegs are in the ground, the straps are secured and the weight discs or sandbags are placed correctly on the feet – preferably one disc or bag on each foot.
