Gazebo Leg Weights 12kg, Pair – Interlocking Stackable Steel Weights for Pop-Up Gazebos & Market Stalls

A pop-up gazebo is light, tall and wide, so even a moderate gust can lift it. On block paving, tarmac or a concrete yard there is nowhere to drive a peg. These leg weights are for that job. You get a pair of black steel plates, 12kg each. Each one slides around the foot of a gazebo leg and pins the footplate down. They are for market traders, event crews, caterers, schools and site teams who put up shelters on hard standing week after week. The weights interlock and stack, so you can add more as the forecast changes.

Why it works

Weight where the leg meets the ground

The weight sits right at the base of the leg, on the footplate, not on a strap hanging from the frame. It works against uplift and stops the foot skating sideways on smooth paving. The plate is low and wide, about 26cm by 29cm and only 36mm thick, so it is hard to kick over.

Slots that lock together

Each weight has a U-shaped slot with a 55mm opening that fits around the leg. Add a second weight turned the opposite way and the two slots cross. That traps the leg and holds the stack together, so you can build up weight on a leg without the plates sliding apart.

Built to be carried

An oblong grip is cast into each plate, so you can carry one in each hand from the van to the pitch.

• Sold as a pair: 2 × 12kg, 24kg in total
• Stackable and interlocking, more than one per leg
• Low profile, built-in carry grip

Where it's used

These weights suit street and farmers' markets on block paving, school fêtes on playgrounds, car boot sales on tarmac, trade stands in exhibition halls, catering pitches and welfare shelters in builders' yards. On grass, lay them over the pegs or stakes from a tie-down kit for extra hold. They can also anchor marquees, work tents and flag cross bases.

Specifications

Choosing the right option

Will it fit your frame? Any gazebo works if its leg passes through a 55mm opening (measure it at its widest point) and it has a footplate for the weight to sit on. Our 39mm square steel and 46mm hexagonal aluminium legs both clear it easily. Our 58mm hexagonal aluminium legs are quoted as a 58mm "diameter" without saying whether that is across the corners or across the flats, so ask us to confirm the fit for those frames.

How many do you need? One pair puts 12kg on two legs. For 12kg on every leg, a four-leg gazebo needs two pairs, a six-leg frame three pairs and an eight-leg frame four pairs. To stack two weights per leg (24kg), double those numbers. Use at least one weight on every leg whenever the shelter is up, and stack a second on exposed sites. No amount of weight makes a gazebo safe in strong wind, so take it down when the wind picks up.

Installation, use and care

Put the gazebo up first. Then slide a weight in from the side so the leg sits in the slot and the plate lies flat on the footplate. Set a second on top with its slot facing the other way, so the two lock together. Lift with your knees, not your back. Stack them flat in the van, and store them dry between events.

Frequently asked questions

Is the price for one weight or two?

Two. Each order line is a pair of 12kg weights, 24kg in total. Order more pairs to cover every leg or to stack them.

Can I use them on grass?

Yes, but on soft ground the pegs come first. Place the weights over the pegs or stakes from a tie-down kit, so you get both grip and dead weight.

Do they mark paving or floors?

This is not published for this line. Indoors or on delicate surfaces, put a rubber mat underneath.
