We  have a 10 by 20 Ezi-up and we love it.   We took 4 TR-4 flywheels, took
off the ring gears, welded studs onto them and bolt the bottom of the legs
of the easy-up to them.  With 30 # on the bottom of each leg it seems very
secure in all but the strongest gusts of wind.  When it gets windy we
shorten the legs to lower the canopy.  At night we have lowered the canopy
to the lowest setting and tied the frame to the wire wheels of my car.  I t
hasn't blown away yet!
