OOO I know this one! :)

Indoor pavilion set up:
Gallon Containers as weights filled with either earth, sand, or water.
Minimum two per pole then covered elegantly with something, your choice of
fabric, short stool, kiddo, whatever. :D

Seriously, cover it with something so that folks do not kick them or trip
over like they do with the ones that are staked outdoors. :)

(said in my best southern drawl) You want a silver lining to that sad cloud,
come sit by me. :)
