Re: Weighted Panels
Possibly to keep it weighted down so it sealed better around the bottom to reduce drafts?

In South Florida, that would have been to keep it from fluttering up and down during hurricanes ... dead serious, those attic covers will flutter up and down if not secured in place (most in Miami-Dade county are secured in place with hook and eye fasteners).
