I used one of these big canopies for several years for outside art shows
and crafts fairs.
We poured concrete bases into a 5 gallon plastic bucket for the vertical
post (about 8" in height) we had six posts and the canvas laced on like
the units at the below site.
There were times when we needed a full bucket of concrete base on the
posts but it went up quickly and everything broke down to less than 6
foot long.
If I were doing lots of VW shows or similar outside summer event I'd do
it again.
