Canopy weights using car suspension

I did a test setup for our swap meet booth, but I needed to get creative for weights on our canopy. I had an idea to try out car suspension springs as weights for the canopy, and it worked great!

I hold the canopy up and collapse the single leg.

I position the spring exactly where the leg was standing.

I now lower the leg back into position, inside the spring.

I attach a bungi cord to the top of the canopy.

Then to the top of the suspension spring.

I used Bungee cords for canopy weight (Amazon).

I did this for all 4 legs and its holding up very well to the wind here…. Its a lot of weight in all 4 car suspension springs. (I should weight them.)
