What can I use to secure it in the sand?

It has pockets on the corners that you can fill with sand to secure it. That's all we used last year on vacation and it worked fine. I suppose you could also buy tent stakes to use through the loops at the corners.

You use the sand ....... there's a corner pocket at each corner. You put the blanket on the ground with the open pocket face down and use your hand to shovel some sand into it. Repeat on each corner and you have each corner weighted down ......... easy peasy.

Each corner has a pocket underneath that you can scoop sand into, which will hold the sheet down. Of course, you can always put a bag or something else down on top as well. I didn't have any problems with it blowing away.

Tucking sand into the build in pockets works prefect for keeping it secured while on the beach.

as long as you weight it down really good. Make sure the bottom is completely filled with either water or sand. Once you do that, it won't go anywhere.

Take four burlap bags and fill them with the sand and tie the four corners to the bags. If really windy use four more bags. also try the four bags at the base then the other four further out.

April, setting this up in sand might be difficult. It comes with metal anchors that are pounded into the ground through the feet of the gazebo. The anchors are very thin or "skinny" and would not secure well in sand in my opinion. There are however, weights that you can purchase that can be strapped on to each leg that could add some added stability to the gazebo. Search for "gazebo weights". Hope this helps.

If you are talking about the bottom free edge of the shade when fully unrolled, then you could use bungees to some weights ( I use some exercise kettle bells). Otherwise, masonry drill to set anchor eye loops to the ground for fastening.)

No. There is no where to put sand. The bottom is hollow. It can not take any weather. Top heavy.

Unsure about that due to the peg type end. To really secure it into sand/ soil, purchase a plastic mallet to pound it in the ground. It can be used as a normal umbrella. Check out the YouTube video to view.

I think they make special stakes for that....it definitely will need something different as the stakes are critical to its support structure....maybe use sandbags to anchor to?

The instructions clearly recommend using soil anchors (available on Amazon). When properly installed, the structure will withstand storm winds (mine went through Sandy on the Jersey shore with no problems except occasional slight lifting of an inch or two in one corner.)

I really haven't tried it on the beach, but the cross bar that helps keep it from sinking into the grass should be of some use to stabilize the chair. We really love ours. For an older person they are very easy to get out of because of their height.

Just put a tarp over the sand, secured with some heavy rocks on the corners. I live in Seattle, so rain is a common occurrence. A bigger issue with rain is that it pools in the canopy, we had to take it off for the winter months to ensure it wouldn't break from the water sitting in it. Hope this helps.

One 50 lb bag of Playground Sand should do the trick. You can get it at most large hardware stores.

We have used this "little device" on our beach-brella several times and we have hung a small portable radio, camera, our "sand-bagged cell phones without any issues. Just make sure it's tight around the pole. It's very handy. We don't bother hanging a towel on it because we have the round table under it on which we keep our wine "cups" and don't wish to drink sand.

I don't think I'd use it on sand. The wheels are smaller and the brackets that fold out to hold the cooler are flimsy and fall off easily. You could secure it with bungees better than the cords that are on it, but I still don't think it would roll well in sand. A basic cooler will fit fine though, if that's what you're wondering.

We use it in the driveway quite often. Just get a bag of sand from your local hardware store and place on the back of the net. It holds it down just fine.

Underneath is a little cross bar I guess you could put sandbags on it to keep it from flying away in a high wind area

Unfortunately I don't know how it is on the beach/sand. It's a great net and we travel with it a lot but haven't tried the beach yet. As long as you can get the posts in deep enough to secure it, I think it would work well. Good luck.
