![]() Part way through the afternoon a micro burst (very strong short burst of wind) picked the canopy up lifted it (tables and all) over the rail way car landing on the other side where it dragged/slid for another 30ft before coming to a stop (slightly farther down the padock an ez-up tied down to tires lifted up and slammed into a SM putting a decent sized dent in it). Same, most memorable being at a small town track (LaJunta), concesion stand amounted to an old railway car, behind it we had a fairly decently sized canopy tied down to the tables and I belive some partly full trash cans, no wind all day and based on history there wouldnt be any untill after dinner. Granted your EZ up is smaller but still a good amount of weight is needed if the wind is forecasted to be strong. I've seen canopies get lifted off the ground with 55 gallon barrels of water at each corner. If you reside in a region where wind gusts are common, you should consider putting at least 20 kg of weight on each support. Historians think the Greeks used the public gazebos to discuss politics, philosophy or just to socialize. Gazebos were built from stone in the style of the temple and often had statues of gods or goddesses. It’s better if the weights are tightly fastened. Instead, they built public gardens around temples with gazebos nearby. It is, however, preferable to lay the weights on all four sides and then secure them. the shade under the white canopy was only partial. This increases the resistance of the added weight. It blocked 100% of the sun's light, and was noticably cooler to sit under than my friend's white EZ-UP, because the white fabric let through more solar radiation i.e. ![]() I had another brand of canopy that was dark green with a completely opaque silver coating on the underside. I think the more important feature is how well the fabric blocks the solar radiation from penetrating, i.e. IMHO the surface temperature of the fabric is irrelevant, because you're sitting too far away from it to make a difference. However, I don't think that's the important issue. ![]() :rolleyes: As most people are well aware, black will absorb more solar radiation than white, and will be hotter than the white cover. Well, this is clearly why the guy is in sales instead of engineering. (of a physical quantity in photometry) evaluated according to the visual sensation produced in an observer rather than by absolute energy measurements. (not in technical use) exhibiting luminescence. At the time, I gave him the benefit of the doubt as he's the expert. radiating or reflecting light shining glowing. The sales guy at the factory EZ-UP store insisted that the black cover would be cooler than the white cover.
