Hidden expenses. (1) better sand anchors (2) mallet to drive in sand anchors. Practical advice (1) set up Sportbrella not facing into the wind, rather set up with the back to the wind (2) after staking it down build a edge ridge of sand all around and covering the fabric on the ground. A high wind will actually scour this away and tunnel under the brella, but it is easy enough to keep adding sand. ( 3) better sand anchors are 10 inch aluminum nails topped with a drilled, epoxied and colorful streamer golf ball. No more mallet needed (4) Front guy lines never needed if the brella is set up with back to the wind. ( 5) vented brella is better. They get hot when the sun comes out. (6) corkscrew ground stake is hype, normally the brella is used on its side, you just push the point into the sand.I(7) before using it somewhere, set it up at home first and use Fray Check,super glue or stick and seal in each and every place where thread is used to secure the canopy to the frame. This is to prevent unraveling. (8) Turn the carrying case inside out. line the bottom and sides about 4 inches with duct tape or similar product. Then, return it to normal state. The inner lining will ease fitting the brella in the sack and prevent blowouts from wear and tear.(9) putting sand into and emptying sand out of side pockets is more trouble than it is worth. (10) find and use a better type of plastic snap connector for the retaining strap when the brella is closed. You will be glad you did. These things do not last forever, but with care, it should cost you about 5 dollars a year for the eleven years you may get use from one.
I just gotta say I love watching your videos! I wish I lived closer to the beach but you have helped me know what to buy for when I do go to the beach and have fun! Thanks!
Really needed help trying to decide between the Sport-Brella and the Instant Shader pictured @1:55 . Getting stuff together for the beach is hard work man.
Between the two, if you're looking for a half-dome beach tent with an extendable floor that can be zipped up for privacy, the Easthills Outdoors Instant Shader is your beach tent. If you like to feel the sand under your feet as you enjoy some shade, I would go with the Sport-Brella.
Great review , as usual. I watched your review of sport brella and decide to get one. But it wasn't available so i got premier Xl ,and turns out well so far( 3 months)🙂 Good that you actually prefer it over original. Greetings from Kuwait 🙂
well I used it three times. the premier XL. the third time I thought to use it standing. I used two sacks of sand and two stakes, but the wind broke the main pole joint where it is used for tilting. I didn't had it tilt, I had it straight. I think umbrella's in general does not work the effort and money to have them in a windy beach and take up too muxh space in the car opposite to tents like neso etc which are wind proof
I knew the sand anchors were going to be problematic so I bought 8 orange corkscrew ones- this puppy ain’t going nowhere… hello from Carolina Beach North Carolina
Thank you for the review, I want to know what is the difference between the sport brella premiere and the SUNSOUL SHELTER of sport brella if possible, thank you
I haven't reviewed the Sport-Brella SUNSOUL yet, but it looks like it has one more window than the Premiere XL, and the pole has a tilt joint. Also, the SUNSOUL is 8 feet long in the front, and the Sport-Brella Premiere XL is 9 feet long.
Which one in general would recommend me ? I have seen a lot of your videos and I like but still don’t know what should buy :/ It’s gonna be my first and I want to buy a good one for my husband and I ⛱️
First of all, thanks for watching my videos! Which one of the beach shades looked more appealing to you? Are you looking for a beach tent or a beach umbrella? I recommend the Sport-Brella Premiere XL or the large Cool Cabana for two people.

Cool! Glad you're enjoying your Sport-Brella! Thanks for sharing that with me Senad!

Sorry about your troubles at the beach. My two Sport-Brella Premiere XLs don't tilt, so you may have another Sport-Brella.
Thanks so much. Your video answered all Amy questions!
Cool! Glad it was helpful!

Cool! Thanks for sharing! Have fun on Carolina Beach!
I found the blue one at the thrift for $20 I’m trying it out today! Hope we love it
Wow! What a deal! Hope it works out!
Thank you for this video!
My pleasure Michael!

Can you show the team configuration
Here's the time-stamp for the Sport-Brella Premiere XL team configuration: 5:29
I'm here because the beach wind was treacherous today and my dollar tree umbrella almost got tossed in the ocean
Well, I wish it was under happier circumstances, but I'm glad you found my beach gear channel, Justin. Welcome aboard!
damn that music loop
UM!!!! Some minor wind on the beach and my lifted out of the sand and tried to fly away
Well, that's not good! It is best to set up the Sport-Brella so the back faces the wind.
@@BeachGearGuy I did that. How do I use those extra anchors in the front? The instructions to wrap it around the top was confusing. And no more stakes
The pole extenstion slips.
Do you mean the lever doesn't work well?
can someone pls explain the 50' bikini woman to me?
"Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" is a movie that was released in the late 50s.
The sport brella premiere xl is the winner in book…
I thought you would like it Dave! 😀
What are you going to do with all your stuff??
I keep everything in my beach gear shed.
😂😂😂 50' woman
I'm glad somebody got it!
Can you show the te
?
