What can I use to secure it in the sand?

It has pockets on the corners that you can fill with sand to secure it. That's all we used last year on vacation and it worked fine. I suppose you could also buy tent stakes to use through the loops at the corners.

You use the sand ....... there's a corner pocket at each corner. You put the blanket on the ground with the open pocket face down and use your hand to shovel some sand into it. Repeat on each corner and you have each corner weighted down ......... easy peasy.

Each corner has a pocket underneath that you can scoop sand into, which will hold the sheet down. Of course, you can always put a bag or something else down on top as well. I didn't have any problems with it blowing away.

Tucking sand into the build in pockets works prefect for keeping it secured while on the beach.

It is sort of like a dust buster mounted on a stick. I have not tried it with sand but to be safe you might want something with a more powerful motor.

I bought a plastic stand from Walmart that you fill with sand to keep it secured for the pole of the umbrella. very inexpensive and it looks nice.

It needs to be secured pretty well to the ground with spikes (12" and 18" spikes included). I would think that this would not hold up well on the beach. I would try using a goal with fiberglass poles.

Absolutely not. There must be something on the back to hold it in place.I did not go with sand or water. Instead, I placed bags of topsoil on the base. It works just as well and much easier to remove if needed.

I ordered this to take to the beach. I would highly recommend sand anchors. What we did was dig holes aobut 6-8" deep, put the stake in sideways, and pack sand and water on top of it. It held for the most part, but some high winds definitely made the stakes loosen and therefore the net sagged. also note that the poles seemed to dig down into lose sand a bit when trying to make the lines to the stakes tight. Not a problem, unless you must have the net at the exact correct height.

The plastic is probably too thin to handle being sand box, we just use ours for water and my father already wants to buy another one jic. Plus its pretty big so that'd be a ton of sand. But you can try it, I think the sides are strong enough to handle it however.

The hole is only used to help screw the anchor into the sand. You put the metal rod through the two holes, and it makes it easier to twist the anchor pole into the sand. You use the plastic clamp on the side of the pole (just above where the 2 holes are), to tighten the connection between the top and bottom poles. Just push the clamp down after you have put the top part of the umbrella into the bottom pole. Another thing that would probably be helpful is to angle the pole slightly toward the direction the wind is coming from. That will prevent the wind from getting underneath the umbrella top and lifting it out of the bottom pole (if the wind is too strong). The top part of the umbrella is pretty heavy, so gravity should help keep the two poles together properly, as long as you angle the whole thing towards the wind a little bit. But it is too heavy to angle it toward the wind too much, so we are only talking about a few degrees. If you do these things, it should help. Good luck!

I use a bungee to anchor mine when it gets windy. Living in fl we get oceanbreezy but I don't think this would work for you.

You would have to be creative to keep it from flying away, but I think it could be done with concrete bases or sand bags. Drilling into the concrete for little flush sunken anchors if it is your own concrete wouldn't be to difficult and would end up being even better than ground stakes.

I don't think cement would work. Don't think the fabric would be strong enough to hold it. Sand or rock is best.

There is a floor covering for this. You would not be sitting directly on sand.

It does have sandbags and anchors which would probably hold it. I don't know for sure

You should get a mat because the sand could cause major impactions. And you could fit maybe three in this.

If there's anything in it it will be a pain on the sand. With my 2 little ones in it one concrete it's hard. Do not buy it for that! Look for the wagon with special wheels

Anchors. This thing could blow away in a strong wind without them. Make sure anchor it.

I really haven't tried it on the beach, but the cross bar that helps keep it from sinking into the grass should be of some use to stabilize the chair. We really love ours. For an older person they are very easy to get out of because of their height.
