When using a beach umbrella in strong wind conditions, it is indeed possible to enhance its stability by increasing the base and preventing it from being blown down or blown away by the wind. The following are some common and practical methods of reinforcement and fixation, which are introduced in detail as follows:
1. Use a heavy-duty base
Some beach umbrellas come with bases that can be filled with water or sand, which can significantly improve stability when weighted. For example, a plastic base filled with water can increase its weight by more than 10 kilograms and effectively resist strong winds at the seaside.
2. Install anchor or spiral cone umbrella seat
The spiral umbrella holder designed specifically for the beach can be firmly fixed in the sand, and the umbrella pole can be inserted into the ground like a screw, which is less likely to loosen and has stronger wind resistance than the ordinary straight insertion type.
3. Use sandbags or heavy objects to press down on the bottom of the umbrella pole
Special sandbags, backpacks, or other heavy objects can be placed near the umbrella holder to secure the umbrella to the ground. This method is simple and effective, especially suitable for beach umbrellas with ordinary bases.
4. Rope fixation method
Some high-end beach umbrellas are equipped with windproof ropes and ground studs, which can be pulled in different directions by the ropes to form a triangular support structure and enhance the overall wind resistance.
