Marquees must have an Australian Wind Rating engineers report available.  It is best for a wind rating minimum of 50kms per hour.

Answer:
No you cannot peg in your marquee.  All marquees are required to have a minimum of 20kg of weights per leg.    You cannot use white pod weights. 
There are a number of different ways you can weight your marquee, these must be secured to your marquee to be effective.  
 

Question: 
What are white pod weights and why can't we use these? 
Answer: 
White pod weights are white weights that screw together around the legs of a marquee and are often filled with water or sand. 
These are not acceptable as they can blow apart in high winds and are not heavy enough to be effective in a commercial environment.
