- Water weights – Our latest product was suggested by a customer called Scott from London. We encourage feedback and especially product suggestions. Scott wanted a solution to hold down his 4×6 premium marquee without having to drill holes in his patio.
Hi UK Tents I am looking for a weight solution to secure my marquee and I can’t buy a storm protection kit as it will ruin my decking. I looked into sand bags but I think it would be too messy and the sand would go everywhere. Can you help me find the answer? Thanks, Scott
This message was the reason we added water weights to our product list and we managed to help Scott with his dilemma. If you have a product suggestion we want to hear from you simply fill in the form below:
