None of these things would deal with any more than a stiff breeze.

I think it's the one to beat, or at least approach in materials & construction.

Thus proving it is possible to have too much money and not enough things to spend it on.
For $5k you can afford to built a 20'x20' wood buiding and just walk away from it when your done.

Yes! I can hang from the frame. It is strong. When staked down, it can handle anything!

It is not light weight. It weighs 76 lbs without the walls. But, it will never rust!!!!

Everyone just hires Sherpa's to carry their stuff... They are known to carry 100lbs or more! Amazing!

After going through 2 of the cheap walmart ones I bought an EZup brand one. So far so good. I have been using my stock wheels as feet. I drive to the track on the stock wheels then switch them for the rpf1s once I have arrived, so they are there anyway. Put a leg through the center bore of the wheel then zip tie the leg to the spokes.

I've been thinking about coming up with some method of securing an EZ-up tent to my tire trailer that eliminates the needs for weights.

Not sure if same stock in US but Costco here has a really nice 10 x 12 one for about $300. No I am not hauling one there on the plane in a couple of weeks b

I'm a dufus. Mixed you up with one of the NorCal peeps, hence the cryptic reference to the kickoff.

I was thinking the same thing about using street wheels as anchors. Thanks for your zip tie solution.
