LOKATSE HOME 15ft Double-Sided Outdoor Patio Umbrella with Crank - Aluminum Garden Sun Canopy in Twin Middle Blue | Perfect for Backyard, Poolside, and Commercial Use

This LOKATSE HOME 15 Ft Double Sided Outdoor Patio Umbrella is very good quality. It is sturdy with thick fabric, but the slightest breeze WILL tip over if not secured good enough.HOW I GOT IT TO STAND UP EASILYAt first I was going to fill a half barrel with cement with a pipe in the middle, and the rest with dirt for a flower planter, but that would be expensive and time consuming, and hard to move later. So, here is what I did…When I first got this umbrella, I noticed that its pipe was the exact same width as the pipe in the concrete Umbrella Stand that hardware stores used to sell, so it would NOT go into the Umbrella Stand. We have three of those stands, and no other way to put up a Patio Umbrella…So I got a very heavy steel pipe just a bit thinner than those pipes to put down through the center of the Umbrella Pole and Umbrella Stand pipe. That worked perfectly.HOWEVERThe very first day it was standing up on its own, a light breeze tipped it over. The concrete base was not heavy enough to stay flat. This is a VERY Top Heavy Umbrella, so it ALL tipped over.So I put it in the shed and didn’t get it out again until this year (when the air conditioner went out).I had already put eyebolts high in the wall above the patio for a shade I never put up, because the only place to hook the other side of the shade to is across the lawn, on a thick branch of a tree.Anyway, here is what I did…WHAT TO DOGet at least two of these Eyebolts (thick eye screws for wood) about this length and thickness, and painted to prevent rust and corrosion. And put them in the wall (if you own your home) or in the wood under the eves (always drill first) so they are WIDER apart than the Umbrella. You want them long enough so they don’t tear a chunk of wood out if there’s a strong wind. Thick enough so they don’t break off, and thin enough so they don’t leave a big hole.Then hook bungee cords with Carabiners from these to the frame under the Umbrella on both sides.https://www.amazon.com/Indoor-Outdoor-Tapping-Screws-Inches/dp/B0B4CT7FHX/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2BKYH6X3Z89Y9&keywords=black%2Beye%2Bbolts&qid=1662182338&sprefix=black%2Beye%2Bbolts%2Caps%2C337&sr=8-6&th=1https://www.amazon.com/XSTRAP-Bungee-Cords-Carabiners-inch/dp/B08BYHCV54/ref=sr_1_162_sspa?crid=1RI91X9KSI7EB&keywords=bungee+cord+with+carabiner&qid=1662182172&sprefix=bungee+cord+with+carabiner%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-162-spons&psc=1
