We prefer to use sand augers and leave them in the sand all week. Would this umbrella work with an auger if we wished to?

Yes, I have used it with an auger at the Jersey Shore last summer with no issues.

Probably not.The force generated by any wind would be focused in a very small area. Shape of the umbrella has very little to do with it. For two of my umbrellas I made a frame approx 30" high and 16 inch diameter at the base. It is on a wooden deck so I was able to screw the base to the deck. Has stayed vertical in 20-25mph winds.

I don't think so, since the diameter of the umbrella holder is probably much larger. The pole would probably come out of the umbrella sleeve.

The umbrella has a sand auger on the bottom. We had no trouble at the beach with the umbrella staying in place even with moderate winds.

I used it last summer with a sand auger and it performed extremely well even on windy days. I never rely just on the built-in auger. I dig a little hole, get the separate auger in really deep, and I'm good for the day!

Keep in mind I would not recommend this umbrella. It is of extremely poor quality. But to answer your question, we used 2 cement pads (about 18 inches by 18 inches and 3 inches thick) to hold it in place. There is a lip on the base that the pads sit on. The pads are very heavy and worked great. Too bad the umbrella was junk.

It probably could it it was weighted properly, the bottom3-4' usually extends into a weighted holder so wind does not carry it off. I don't see why it wouldn't work. great umbrella!

Yes. This is the one I bought and, like you, wasn't sure so took a chance. As I said in my review, it worked just fine. Great product. I saved a bunch of money as you know. Be sure to read the two comments attached at the bottom of my review though. "Mark Twain" made a good point when he said that I didn't need to go to all the trouble of removing the auger. Yes, it was more convenient to work on the auger while on a bench but removal was very difficult. Good luck!

I don't think so. This system needs the umbrella to go into the ground/sand so it is somewhat anchored. If you keep it above ground it would probably get dragged by any wind. Good luck!

This is not a heavy duty auger - think of it as a motorized version of a post-hole shovel. It might work, with a sharpened blade, and a hose/nozzle attachment.

Yes as long as u fill base with sand which can hold over 50 lbs. the only other concern is the screw that holds umbrella only puts pressure against pole so strong wind could blow it out what I did was drill hole in my umbrella pole so that the screw actually went into the pole itself and there was no chance of it slipping out

The anchor opening measures about 1 1/2". I think it will handle poles of 1 to 1 1/4" very comfortably. The hollow section of the shaft is fairly deep (about 14") so I think it could probably work with umbrellas with smaller diameter poles too. The plastic bolt which tightens to grip the umbrella pole closes to about 5/8". The plastic used to make the anchor and bolt seems durable. Hope this helps you out Ricky! :)

yes but be sure the shaft has a hole in it to hook to the auger good luck i wish i could fix it for you

Yes, I am just using our old base that we previously had & it works just fine. But our base is able to be tightened to squeeze snug to the umbrella.

Ours wasn't even good enough for a couple trips to the beach. It broke, therefore was returned. I wouldn't recommend this umbrella at all.

I think it would change the center of gravity and make the umbrella less stable. I wouldn't recommend it though have not tried it. I can tell you a straight umbrella furled didn't move in 50kt winds.

I would doubt it.. The clamps are heavy and the unit requires a very study connection. There is a lot of torque when the umbrella is attached and up. The wind makes the unit move at times. it works great; however, you must have a strong foundation.... Wood
