we bought a new 10' x 10' free-standing canopy and are wondering the best way to keep it on the ground. should i invest in the weighted bags, or are 18" round stakes the better and easier choice?
if you advise round stakes, what is the best way to employ them? rope or ratchet strap?? i'm new to all of this, so please dumb it way down for me. thanks in advance! :D
BTW, here are the round stakes and weighted bags i'm considering:
bags: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F0GI2OU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=35JIKTFTDH7LS&coliid=I3QTVWEPX9YGKL
round stakes: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Weyerhaeuser-3-4-in-x-18-in-Round-Steel-Stake-06178/202094305
I would go with the weighted bags over the stakes as some campgrounds do not allow stakes to be used, or the only place to set it up could be on a hard/paved surface of some type. JMHO
