does this keep umbrella from spinning aroind when windy

There are two set screws which lock the umbrella into place and keep it from spinning. The tighter the screws, the less chance the umbrella has to spin. This umbrella "holder" is so secure, that I believe the deck spindle or umbrella pole will break well before the "holder" does on a windy day.

Yes. This mount is very heavy duty, and clamps down as tightly as you like. Even with moderate tightening, I've never had an issue with my 9' umbrellas. (including an offset one)

Yes, the mount has two screws which screw into the umbrella post. It's quite stable and sturdy to prevent umbrella from spinning or tipping over.

Yes, the mount holds the umbrella in place and is not affected by the wind. The clamps are very strong for both anchoring to the post on the deck and to the umbrella pole. The mount is a very heavy metal and is extremely well made.

I have used it in breezy conditions (but not heavy winds) and it held up. However, the canopy is quite large and it catches the wind. It will be hard to manage in heavy winds. It is sturdier than most umbrellas sold today.

No.I had to add weight to prevent umbrella from tipping over in 15-20 mph wind.If no wind,it works fine

Actually, it was quite windy the very first time we used it and I remember having to hold on to the pole cause We were afraid the umbrella was going to fly away. Other than that, it's a great product.

yes it does. I don't use it that often with the elastic base the cover stays put even in high winds

We live on the beach and it can be quite windy. We haven't had any problems due to wind, but we do have the pole secured on a deck railing as well as on the deck itself.

Absolutely not. Wind, rain, pretty much any element is an issue. I'm on my third one and my review is changing as I realize how few things it stands up to. It's perfect for what you are describing but if the wind is heavy you are in trouble. I have anchored it down but then came the rain and it caved in.

I use my base for a 9' umbrella, out in the middle of my property and wind hasn't been a problem on ths a South Shore of Long Island. My base didn't come with the threaded piece that holds umbrella in the hole. I found a replacement- good luck with getting help from the company

No, but it fits tight at the bottom and haven't had an issue with it staying put even in high winds.

Mine is always set up in a lower portion of our deck so there is not too much trouble with wind, But... When I do need help, I put a small bag of sand along the inner supports .

this umbrella does not tilt unfortunately. Source: owned it a few weeks so far. It will 'tilt' when the wind blows but there is no crank to tilt it. I wish there was.

Yes, there are two knobs just above the base that are easily tightened. Our 13 foot umbrella has stayed secure, never a problem. When you move the umbrella around a lot, make sure and check that the knobs are still tight. I have noticed they can come loose after a lot of movement.

As long as it is pulled tightly, it keeps my patio dry. Mine has been up through many showers and the patio underneath had stayed fairly dry. Of course, it does get wet around the edges when the wind blows the rain under. Also, you need to be sure to have it tilted slightly to let the rain run off.

Mine broke very quickly. Despite the weight of the base, the cheap plastic bolt under the base that keeps the umbrella upright broke in a bit of gusty wind.

It doesn't have a true base, it has metal feet. What was recommended with the instructions is to get 4 12x12 paver stones to put on the metal feet to keep it secure. The patio pavers do keep it nice and secure. I live in North Dakota where the winds routinely get up to 50 mph and have never seen the umbrella move.

I wouldn't say that it keeps the bag from spinning totally but I think it helps. It lays on the floor and I just bought a bag of play sand and put the whole bag inside without emptying it out of the sands' bag. It helped prevent a mess.

This umbrella will rotate around the pole. That's I have a rod of 3/4 inch electric condut driven into the ground with one of the umbrella rods fastened to it. This keeps the umbrella from rotateing.
