Going to the beach is always fun in the sun especially if you have a beach umbrella to keep you cool on those long hot days.
One issue sometimes overlooked is keeping your umbrella stable and that can be accomplished a couple of ways.
The beach umbrella stand is a great solution for this very common problem.
Many of us buy our own portable beach umbrella to save costs and so that we can set it up wherever we wish.
That is the problem sometimes with using a resorts beach chair and umbrella.
You are limited to wherever they set it up for you.
So to remedy that situation I recommend investing in an umbrella with a stand or anchor to keep it from blowing away.
The beach umbrella stand is designed to hold the umbrella with a sleeve like base that has feet for digging into the sand to hold it sturdy.
It is typically made of plastic but sometimes metal.
This is great for non windy days however should it be a breezy day a sand anchor would probably be a better option.
The beach umbrella anchor is designed for a heavier hold.
It is shaped like a stake and has a hollow center so the umbrella can set down in it.
They are usually driven into the ground with an auger which drills a hole in the sand for easy mounting.
Either way you decide to go about it, you are assured a great day at the beach.
You can find either a stand or anchor at various stores online for really great prices.
