my event is on the beach, is the ground spike ideal for sand? will it hold up to the wind? usually about 15mph winds.

yes I believe that is not a problem I have mine stuck in more of a gravel with winds up to 45 or 50 they hold

The ground spike is about 2 1/2 feet long and should work fine for the sand as long as the sand gets firm about 6" - 12" down.

Hello! Absolutely not. Do not purchase this product. I live in Central TX, the winds can get up to 20mph. I've come in to work and have seen this flag across the street, down the street and the string that's supposed to keep it secure failed. I kept trying and put it in different places on the block, in GRASS, but it didn't matter. I don't think it really matters what company you go with. Just try to maybe get a longer steak. good luck.

My daughter set it up on a hard gravel driveway without spikes and it seemed to work fine. The water in the pool seems to hold it in place. She did put it down on a tarp to protect the Inflatable Water Park from abrasion. Just need to understand that on concrete it would be harder than using it on grass. So far we haven't had any broken bones. Been using it for over a year. I would recommend that you also cover it with another tarp when not in use to protect it from breaking down the fabric because of sun exposure.

If you had all the sandbags full and maybe use the stakes as well it would be ok... We used this on Myrtle Beach with just the sandbags and sand around the bottom floor without any problems. We didn't use the stakes on the beach - it has a bottom that holds your stuff also that helps to hold it down..

I plan to put a sand bag on the base just in case needed. We have had high winds and it never moved.

i have not used this in sand, so i have no idea how it would handle in sand--sorry.

Just roll it up and it should be fine. I am in Imperial county CA. We also get strong winds.

There are stakes that come with it and pockets to put sand in on the beach. It does very well in the wind.

During Hi Winds I use Sand Bags. One in Front and one on the Rear. This works for all but the strongest winds for me.

For a beach, I can't say. However, I have gone through sand and it works just fine. I would think it would handle it okay?

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.

I dont think it will withstand wind without some kind of support Even if you put sand bags on the legs I would think you should still tie down to keep it stable at the top.....

I have not had it up in heavy wind. I'm no expert but I would think anything tent or umbrella like will not hold up well in heavy wind. A beach breeze is no problem though with both sides open for ventilation. Does that help?

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.

It has stakes for use on grass, but it also has pockets on the side that you can add sand into while on the beach. I had no trouble with it in the wind on the beach in Destin.

Well I bought it to hold a long steel tubed wind chime. It could have held the weight but it wasn't tall enough to clear the ground. I'd say it would depend on your ground. The spikes that hold it in the ground wouldn't stand up in sand, but a clay type soil would probably hold it in place for a heavier chime.

good. I made tent stakes out of 3/8 inch rebar 1 foot long, bending one end 90 degrees about 1 inch. and I tide it down,its gone through gust well over 45 miles per hour.

Hold up pretty good as long as you have it well grounded. I have mines in a corner were strong wind doesn't touch it too much.
