Premium 7ft Large 8-Panel Beach Umbrella - Heavy Duty Windproof Canopy with Vent & Valance, 600-Hour UV Fade Resistance - Includes Dig-It Anchor, Sand Base & Durable Carry Bag - Perfect for Beach, Poolside, Picnics & Outdoor Events

What I wanted was a good, high-quality, well-made, sturdy beach umbrella that wouldn't blow away, and that's exactly what I got. It's perfect! That's not to say it doesn't have its down sides, or maybe I should say "compromises". It's rather expensive, but then "high-quality" and "well-made" doesn't come cheaply. It's also a bit heavy, but then again you can't have "sturdy' and "won't blow away" without some heft.When I saw the design of its anchoring system I was intrigued. It appeared to be a worthwhile concept. In practice, it's even better. When properly setup, which isn't all that difficult to do, it doesn't budge, even in the strongest of winds.Buying something like this, with the requirements I had in mind, is difficult to do without actually seeing and touching it, but I took a chance and I'm glad I did. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.
