A 40kg-capacity water-filled anchor, sold as a single unit. This is the standard capacity for smaller inflatable screens, gazebos, marquees and temporary signage on surfaces where you cannot use pegs.
It covers the everyday case: a smaller screen, on a reasonably sheltered site, for an evening. Filled, it is still a two-hand lift, but it is meaningfully easier to move and reposition than the 80kg unit — which matters when you are placing four of them around a screen and adjusting as you tension. Step up to the 80kg capacity for larger screens or exposed, windy ground.
The bag is heavy-duty UV-stable PVC — compact and light to transport empty, then filled on location from a tap or hose. A moulded D-ring takes your rope or ratchet strap. Nothing penetrates the surface, so it works on concrete, pavers, decking and synthetic turf, and leaves no trace once drained.
This listing is a single anchor. Inflatable cinema screens require at least four anchor points, so if you are outfitting a screen from scratch the 40kg Set of 4 is the more economical starting point.
Why these anchors
A water-filled PVC weight that holds your gear down without pegs — and folds away to nothing when the night’s over.
Built for inflatable cinema screens, but just as at home anchoring marquees, gazebos, banners and event signage — anywhere you need ballast on a hard surface where you can’t peg into the ground.
Empty, it folds down to a flat sheet of PVC that stows in a corner of the trailer. No rigid, space-hungry blocks to find room for between events.
Fill it from a standard hose when you arrive and tip it out when you leave. You move an empty bag, not a block of concrete or steel — easier on your back, your vehicle and your load limits.
At least four — one per corner. Then size the total ballast to the screen and the wind. As a guide from our wind-load estimates, four 40 kg anchors suit a 3–4 m screen in gusts to about 30 km/h, four 80 kg anchors cover a 4 m screen in stronger gusts or a 5–6 m screen in lighter ones, and larger screens or exposed sites want more. Err on the side of extra ballast — the full table is in our anchoring guide.
On hard surfaces — concrete, pavers, decking or indoors — you can’t drive pegs into the ground. Water anchors give you the same hold-down without marking the surface, and they’re kinder to turf than stakes.
Each anchor has a built-in tether point / D-ring; connect it to the screen’s anchor points with ropes, ratchet straps or carabiners.
Yes — they suit marquees, gazebos, banners and signage too, anywhere you need ballast without pegging in.
You only ever carry them empty — fill on site from a hose and empty before pack-down, so there’s no lifting of solid weights.
