Do you have to use an umbrella that has a pointed bottom for the sand ? Is the hole big enough for a patio market umbrella to push into sand?

The umbrella bottom doesn't really need to be pointed but you'll want one like that to help get it in the sand. As for patio umbrella, I'm pretty sure those are pretty heavy and a lot wider on the top so it might not be able to hold it up. You could try their umbrella: http://www.ostrichchair.com/ostrich-products/ostrich-7ft-beach-umbrella.htmlI use this shade anchor all the time with large beach umbrellas and when I see other umbrellas being tossed around in the wind I'm always sitting pretty under my anchored-in shade bag. Love it. Good luck!

The hole is big enough; however you might want to purchase two bags to hold the larger umbrella up. Our small umbrella fell over when we tilted it so a bigger umbrella would need more weight. Also you need to get the umbrella as far into the sand as possible so a flat bottom may not work.

Hole at bottom of bag is big enough to accommodate a large tent pole. Bag works well, we are on a windy beach in Carolina Puerto Rico.

I have used too many devices that claimed to hold the umbrella in the wind. This is the ONLY device that works, is simple to use, weights nothing and folds to put in beach bag. You may have misunderstood how this works, the hole in bag has nothing to do with the umbrella, the hole in bag is only to drain the sand out. Unfold bag, have kids fill bag with 12-14" of sand. Now use any screw in beach umbrella with a large vent at top of umbrella. Now attach straps of bag to umbrella, voila it will stay up in 40mph winds. Ready to go home pull sand bag up and all the sand drains out the hole. Filled with dry sand it weights 30lbs, if you have umbrella with vent to let wind out which that and sand bag solves issues with blown over umbrellas for good

Ken -I don't see why not. If it drills into clay and silt, it should do fine with sand as long at the sand does not backfill the hole before you can set the umbrella stand.

I'm the consumer, not a seller. All umbrellas need a base. If the umbrella mounts through a patio table, a lighter weight base is needed. If an umbrella will be free standing, a very heavy base is needed (at least 60 pounds) . I bought a 60 pound base plus I'm using two 60 pound sand bags. This ensures that the umbrella won't blow away in high winds, when it's folded.. If the umbrella is open. IMO. no base will be heavy enough to prevent blowaway plus damage. Even a 7.5 foot umbrella presents a big surface to high winds.

I have been using this umbrella stand exclusively in sand but it is very sturdy. My answer is yes, I always use a rubber mallet to move the spike deep into the sand but I don't see why you could not use the same method in soil. It's a great product.

Yes, you can add a umbrella to the center of the table if you install the 2X4 cross brace called for in instructions.however, the umbrella would require a ground footing in order that it is anchored by the table and at the floor or ground. A small bucket 6" tall and 9" wide at the top filled with sand would do the job if you are using in on a patio like I am. If you are using it in a grassy area you could dig a hole for umbrella shaft

This has a base hole dimension of 2 1/4". The umbrella doesn't actually attach to this base as this is more of a base weight that you assemble onto the base that is included with the umbrella and then fill it with sand or water to act as a counter weight to help keep the umbrella upright. .

The base does not come with sand. I used the yellow pages to find a business that sells sand. I was lucky the owner gave me the sand. Please, make sure the pole of the umbrella will fit properly into the stand. My did not and to this day I have to place things around the pole and to make it sand up straight.

No. This has a kind of tripod stand that supports the umbrella. You do not have to dig into the ground like with some kinds of umbrellas but there is nothing to clamp this with unless you rigged something on your own.

Sure you could. Just use a hole saw to make the hole whatever diameter you need for the umbrella. (Drill bits would work too but not as clean)

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

Stakes are not supplied (if they were, they were too puny). You definitely need stakes (ones appropriate for the sand if you are at the beach) unless there is no breeze (and when have you been to the beach with no breeze?). The sand bags may help you hold the shelter in place while you put in the stakes, but otherwise, the shelter is a very effective sail. There is a carrying bag with the product. The bag is large enough that it is easy to stuff the shelter into the bag.

I am sorry--in seeing your question further, I think it depends on how big a hole is in the cement umbrella stand. It need to have a good solid footing and a deep hole is needed.

Yes. You may need to purchase a hole-saw for the size of your umbrella pole. They often come as a set of bits that work with a standard drill - but they're not expensive. First - make sure that there are no brackets in the path of the hole. You can make the hole a little off center if necessary.

You will not be able to use this with a table that has a hole for the umbrella. This unit is a stand alone and can do a fine job setting beside the table. This is a great item, small, and extremely portable. I love mine.

We put one bag (from Lowes) in the sand table and no water. The grands have fun with it on both sides. It is on our patio and with more sand, it would be harder to move. One bag is enough for them. They do like to put the sand down the hole where the umbrella goes so you might want to put something to catch the sand.

Unfortunately, there is no hole for an umbrella. You could drill a two-inch hole through the fire pit to fit the umbrella through, but burning coals would slip out. And sparks would set your umbrella ablaze. If you do this, please submit a picture!Alternatively, if you put the cover on the fire pit, you could put an umbrella base on top of the table, and then put the umbrella in the base.

yes there is an umbrella hole. You would have to have a base for the umbrella to rest in though. It's a great table. We bought some linseed oil and wiped it all down when we got it and it looks great. It wipes off easily after use.
