Durable cast iron marquee weights available in 7.5kg and 10kg options, designed to stabilise marquees and gazebos in windy conditions. Easy to use, stackable, and sold individually.
Secure your outdoor setup with our heavy-duty
10kg cast iron marquee weights. Designed to fit around the
legs of pop-up marquees and gazebos, these solid weights provide practical
additional ballast for markets, trade shows, festivals, sporting events,
corporate functions and outdoor brand activations.
Each marquee leg weight is sold individually and features
a built-in carry handle, stackable design and pegging holes. Order one or
more weights for each leg depending on your marquee size, location and
setup requirements.
Our solid cast iron marquee weights are a durable and reusable alternative
to temporary sandbags and water-filled weights. Their compact shape fits
around the base of a marquee or gazebo leg, while the interlocking design
allows multiple weights to be stacked when additional ballast is required.
At 10kg each, these weights provide substantial ballast while remaining
manageable to carry, position and store between events.

Why Choose a 10kg Marquee Weight?
The 10kg weight provides more ballast from each individual plate, making it
a practical option for standard pop-up marquees, larger event structures
and outdoor setups where additional stability is required.
Because the weights are sold individually, you can tailor the setup to suit
a four-leg, six-leg or larger marquee. Multiple weights can be stacked on
each leg when additional ballast is needed.

Important safety information
This table is a general planning guide only and is not an engineering or
weather-safety guarantee. Always follow the instructions and wind rating
supplied with your marquee. Monitor changing conditions, use suitable
pegs or guy ropes where permitted, and dismantle the structure when
conditions exceed its safe operating limits. Marquee weights do not make
a temporary structure safe in severe weather.
Ordering tip: Match the number of weights to the number of
legs on your marquee. For example, ordering two weights for each leg of a
four-leg marquee requires eight individual weights and provides 80kg of
total ballast.
10kg Marquee Weight FAQs
How heavy is each marquee weight?
Each individual cast iron marquee weight weighs 10kg.
Are the marquee weights sold individually or as a set?
Each 10kg marquee weight is sold individually. This allows you to order the
exact number required for a four-leg, six-leg or larger marquee.
How many 10kg marquee weights do I need?
The required quantity depends on the marquee size, number of legs, site
conditions and expected weather. Use the guide above as an initial
reference and follow any anchoring recommendations supplied with your
marquee.
Why should a marquee or gazebo be anchored?
A marquee canopy can catch the wind like a sail. Suitable ballast helps
reduce movement and improves stability during normal use. The marquee
should still be monitored and dismantled when conditions become unsafe.
Will these weights fit my marquee legs?
They are compatible with many common frame profiles ranging from
approximately 30mm square legs to 57mm hexagonal legs. Because frame
profiles vary, measure your marquee leg before purchasing.
Can multiple weights be stacked on one marquee leg?
Yes. Their interlocking shape allows multiple cast iron weights to be
stacked around the same marquee leg when additional ballast is required.
Can marquee weights be used on concrete?
Yes. Cast iron weights can provide ballast on hard surfaces such as
concrete or paving where pegs cannot be installed. Follow the setup
instructions supplied with your marquee and use other suitable anchoring
methods where available.
Can marquee weights be used with pegs and guy ropes?
Yes. Where the ground surface and event site permit, suitable pegs and guy
ropes may be used alongside the weights for additional anchoring.
Are cast iron marquee weights better than sandbags or water weights?
Cast iron weights are compact, reusable and ready to use without filling.
They also retain their shape during storage and transport. Sandbags and
water-filled weights may still suit some applications, so the best option
depends on your event site and transport requirements.
How should the weights be stored?
Keep the weights clean and dry when not in use. Although the coated finish
helps protect the cast iron, drying the weights before storage will help
maintain their appearance and reduce the likelihood of surface corrosion.
Complete Your Marquee Setup
Pair your 10kg cast iron leg weights with one of our
custom printed pop-up marquees
for a professional branded event setup.
These solid cast iron weights may also be referred to as
gazebo weights, marquee leg weights,
pop-up canopy weights, tent weights or
portable event ballast weights.
These cast iron weights are also commonly used as gazebo weights, marquee leg weights,
pop-up canopy weights and portable event anchoring weights.
Our marquee weights are made from high-quality, solid cast iron, providing reliable stability for your marquee or gazebo. Designed for both performance and ease of use, these weights are an essential accessory for outdoor events, market stalls, exhibitions, and promotional setups.
Available in 7.5kg & 10kg: Choose between our popular 7.5kg option or the heavier 10kg option for additional stability where required.
Stackable & Interlocking Design: The weights can be stacked and interlocked for added stability. With the ability to rotate 180 degrees, this design helps them stay securely in place even in windy conditions.
Versatile Fitting: These weights are compatible with a wide range of marquee and gazebo legs, accommodating frame sizes from 30mm square-leg frames to 57mm hex-leg frames.
Additional Pegging & Tie-Off Points: Each weight is equipped with holes for pegging into the ground or for tie-off points, providing additional security against both lifting and sliding forces.
Rust-Resistant Finish: The cast iron is treated with a protective coating to help resist rust and corrosion, supporting long-term outdoor use.
Built-In Handle: Each weight features an integrated handle to make lifting, carrying, and positioning easier during setup and pack-down.
This material ensures that the marquee weights not only provide excellent stability but also maintain their durability and appearance through repeated use.
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your marquee weights, follow these care instructions:
Handling and Storage:
Avoid Dropping: Handle the weights with care to help prevent damage to the protective coating. Dropping them may cause chipping, which can lead to premature wear.
Store in a Dry Place: When not in use, store the weights in a dry area to minimise moisture exposure and help prevent rust.
Stack Carefully: If stacking multiple weights, ensure they are aligned correctly to avoid tipping or surface damage.
Cleaning:
Wipe Clean: Use a damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris after use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may damage the finish.
Dry Thoroughly: After cleaning, dry the weights completely before storage to reduce the risk of moisture build-up.
Inspection:
Regular Checks: Periodically inspect the weights for signs of wear, rust, cracks, or coating damage. Address any issues promptly to maintain safety and performance.
Maintain the Finish: If the protective coating shows signs of wear over time, consider reapplying a suitable rust-resistant coating.
Wind Speed Considerations:
Match Weight to Conditions: Always ensure you are using the appropriate number and weight of marquee weights for the expected wind conditions and structure size. Refer to the wind speed guide in the product description for recommended quantities.
Secure Properly: Even with the correct weights, ensure they are positioned correctly on each marquee leg. For exposed or high-wind locations, consider additional anchoring methods where appropriate.
By following these care guidelines, your marquee weights will remain in excellent condition and continue providing reliable stability and safety across many events to come.
