Beach Umbrella

This is a great beach umbrella. We have 4 of these we bought more than 10 years ago for our annual family trip to Florida and they still look great. Due to expanding family - 8 grandkids - we needed two more. They hold up in the strong florida wind and will stay planted while others around you are blowing away. Sinking them into the sand is easy due to the self drilling tip on the end of the bottom pole. They hold their color and provide lots of shade. Great value for a strong umbrella.

This will not stand sturdy if you try to set it up in wet sand. It will fall over. You have to use it in almost dry sand. This one has "grooves" to dig down in the sand, where most have a point. This makes it much easier and sturdier, to set and stay in place. We love the size. It was a bit more expensive than the 5 ft. umbrellas we bought but well worth the cost!! You will not regret buying this product!!

This is a nice quality umbrella. Holds up well in higher winds

We live in an area where the beaches are on the open Atlantic and we tend to get a lot of strong winds. The umbrella works well and did not succumb to the winds. I would have rated it a 5, except that the whole thing is a bit difficult to manage by myself. (I am 5'3 and 125 lbs). A fairly strong and handy individual has to be there to make sure that the umbrella is well installed in the sand. I should note that the carry bag is very handy and the umbrella is large enough to have 3 to 4 people sit under it in chairs.

Best umbrella good size love it

We live by the beach and use this umbrella often! It has survived 4+ years of use...The umbrella provides enough shade for 3-4 beach chairs to fit under. The bag handle stitching came undone around year 4, but we have used this thing heavily so thats understandable, and it was an easy stitch fix.

I was super happy to get this in the mail! While I don’t currently live near the beach, I plan to go on a beach trip pretty soon, so I wanted an umbrella I could use now as a patio umbrella and also have the option to take to the beach when I go soon, and this one did not disappoint! Pros: - Surprisingly lightweight yet sturdy, which makes it very easy to travel with. I included a picture of the carrying case, which is pretty small (could easily fit in any car), and has a big handle so you could carry it like a sling. Great design there. - Easy to put together. Part of the base poll comes apart for storage, and it is as simple to stick it in and push down on the latch. - The umbrella’s reach is HUGE. I was shocked to see just how widget the umbrella can get after seeing how small the carrying case is. - The colors on the umbrella are very vibrant and definitely stand out as a traditional beach umbrella. Con: - I found it to be ever so slightly difficult to push the umbrella out far enough to snap in position, but honestly, that just shows how strong it is. It would take a LOT of force to knock the umbrella down.

The umbrella is great.. Nice and big and the vents really help in the wind, however after just a couple of uses, the bottom auger part bent. I sent an email to the company asking if I could buy or get another bottom. I received a prompt response stating they would to check with the warehouse and get back to me. I am waiting to hear back on that meanwhile the carry bag (which is made of lightweight canvas or fabric and thin plastic) has completely ripped apart. There is no way that an umbrella of this size can be carried in anything that is made of plastic sewed to fabric.The plastic tore at the seam. The umbrella is big and clumsy to carry without a bag. Also, the chain and t bar used to turn the pole into the ground is completely rusted. So, the umbrella itself, 5 star but the parts are 1....... UPDATE, The company has replaced the entire umbrella along with a new carry case. I appreciate that but it still leaves me with an umbrella without a good case. I will duct tape the new case before using it. It may not be pretty, but maybe it will hold up.
