How does this do on a windy beach?

It works well as long as your or your stuff is inside. like any tent or structure wind will have an effect. It's a solid item, we use it all the time with our 1 year old.

I brought this to the beach on Cape Cod on a super windy day and it was fine. It comes with stakes to put in the sand that keep it in place well.

If the breeze is under 25 mph.... it should be okay. Hopefully it will be weighed down so as to not being lift by a strong gust

My husband and I are in our late 60's and we use ours to get to and from shore when anchored out. We have found it stable in climbing to it from our 19 foot old Glasply and the reverse. Have not used it when really windy.

It did fine in the wind. We had one day with strong winds that would make the tent bend a bit but it never pulled loose from the stakes in the ground. We didn't even used the sandbags.

I live in Florida near the beach and have a lot of wind. I have not screwed the unit down yet but it does make a little noise and move around a little on really windy days. I would say to just try it for a while it may depend on location. the top does a good job letting the wind through.

Yes the anchors with sandbags has worked perfectly for me. I live on an island and it tends to be pretty windy all the time but once I anchor with sandbags I have no problem!

I only used it once this past summer but we loved it! Material is very similar to a tent. It's just not good one a windy beach day.

Mine has been up in some crazy Colorado winds and done just fine, but I have the sand bag weights attached to it or it would have blown away. This is my 2nd year having it up.

Not sure about the beach specifically, but on windy days where we use him, anything over 10-15+ mph, we have to bring him in. Does not work well in windy conditions.

The umbrella is not too heavy. The base is very heavy. It would depend on the walking distance to the beach.

I do not have high winds in my area however it is a mesh type fabric and the air passes through readily. It does not move much here.

I have it placed in my yard so it does not get direct wind. We have had wind gust up to plus 30 mph and have had no problems. I made 4 stake out of 3/8 x 2ft rebar and placed them on the corners with no tie downs. If you are going to place it in direct wind I would plan on getting bigger stakes and tie down line. The frame looks like it will hold up to high wind. Hope this answer your question.

If there is very much wind it will tend to fall over so if it is on the beach, rope ties and stakes help

I use the base from my previous umbrella, it is all iron and to me heavy. I have had no problems with it even during high winds. Coolaroo allow most of the wind to pass through.

We haven't. We get some good gusts, but nothing sustained. I think it's heavy enough that would be a feat. Unless you're in a very high windy area.

I've used mine lakeside where it was fairly windy, but you need to be sure to stake out the guy wires. You can add weight straight down from the corners, too, such as bungee to your cooler,etc.

Not too bad actually, so long as you have a helper holding open the bag and practice folding it up in the back yard before going to the windy beach! Also, bring plastic bags to fill with sand and put into the pockets in the sides, helps in strong winds
