How to set up a canopy tent in the rain?

Canopy tents are meant to provide shelter from the sun as well as rain protection, but how do you set it up in bad weather? For canopy tents with a classic support structure, such as those made by Eureka and Wenzel Sunshade Canopies, we recommend setting them up before the storm hits. This way, if it begins to rain you can drop and secure your canopy tent canopy and skip any potentially hazardous raising and lowering of the canopy. If you cannot set your tent canopy up beforehand:

If not already staked into the ground securely, stake down or weigh down all corners of your canopy tent’s canopy with heavy weights; large rocks will work best for this step (and remember that water can be very heavy, so don’t underestimate the weight of water).

If your canopy tent canopy is already staked into the ground, remove all stakes or weights. Keeping canopy tent canopy unsecured can be extremely dangerous in case you happen to get caught up in the storm and are unable to hold onto one side of your canopy tent. If possible attempt to relocate yourself and anyone else who will be with you under the canopy of a nearby building, tree, or secure structure.
