Display Tent?

At the last show I went to, I saw one vendor that used small handled bags similar to bowling ball bags that were filled with gravel and had a bungee cord attached to it and then wrapped the cord up the tent post.

We once rented one 10 X 20' for an archery event for a couple days. My husband did not use the stakes to tie it down. The morning after the event we found it upside down across the yard - trashed. That wind can really do a job on a tent of any size.

*yay*!! I got my tent yesterday, boy that was fast!!! From California to my door in 6 days, and considering I placed my order on a Friday afternoon and it didn't get processed until Monday that was some speedy shipping!
The box is in my living room and just itching to be put together, but since I can't do it alone I'm waiting eagerly for the hubby to get back in town, poor guy has a big honey do list when he gets back and he only has 3 weeks to do it before he's gone again *LOL.
On a side note, I found this same tent on Amazon.ca for $356.00 plus tax and shipping! That's crazy since Costco had it for $229 plus tax and shipping was included, what a difference in price for the exact same thing.

That is an amazing difference in price. Amazon is usually pretty good. Good to know this. Thanks.

For what it is worth, EZ up tents has a web site that shows their products.  I think you can buy direct....I got my 10 X 10 with sides at BJ's Wholesale Club...under $200.00.  The first time we put it up, My husband and I spent all afternoon trying to figure it out....It just would NOT go up....I finally called their customer service, and found out that the screws holding it together needed to be loosened...did it, and it went up in minutes.....I have had to use mine in driving rain and wind....it does not leak, and water does not pool on the top.  My husband made weights from pvc pipe and concrete that we bungee to the legs.  But even with those super high winds are really dangerous....I am 64 years old, and under 5' tall.  I can put this tent up and take it down alone....It just takes a little longer than if I have help.....I can't, however, carry it to the truck and put it in by myself.....annabelle
