Seems like a clever idea. But at 2:13 "I didn't even dig mine out. I just pulled the rope"... doesn't seem very strong if you could just pull the rope? Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, that was my wife. She only had her frisbee in the sand about 4-6 inches. I recommend putting the at least a foot or more down. You will break the frisbee before you could ever pull it out when its that far in.
I use a dollar store plastic auger anchor for my 6' umbrella, first digging a hole and filling it with water and sand after screwing the auger into the bottom. As a backup in high winds I use parachute cord tied to the ribs with the other end tied to the umbrella bag filled with sand, with 4 half hitches on one side and a taut line hitch on the other.
I bought some Beer Pong buckets from 5 Below. I drilled a hole an inch from the top of the buckets so the canopy ropes can be tied onto. i filled each bucket with sand and added water. The wind was no problem.
I like this idea. Not sure I'd trust a dollar store frisbee to keep a knot from stretching the plastic enough to let the knot slip through. Maybe reinforce the hole by gluing large washers on either side of the hole?
I like that idea. My theory is, if the holes and frisbee are in jeopardy of breaking due to wind, the canopy isn't safe to be up. We just take it down if it gets to be that windy.
@@adriyolanda2129 that's awesome. Glad you can put it to use. We are heading to Delaware beaches tomorrow night and will be using it as much as possible. Hope you have a great trip!
Adri Yolanda just curious if you tried this anchor system on your canopy?I am considering this set up as well. We go to Daytona and PC beach a good bit and I liked this idea.
Jesus paid it all, all to him I owe. I love it! We only use the frisbees and never had it blow away. I can't stress enough though, if the wind is dangerously strong we don't set up the canopy.
Thanks bro, I am gonna give it a try. I forgot we had a sport brella, so I am gonna try it on that first. I found this old, cheap aluminum pot with a hole in the handle. I think that might work good too. It can double as a shovel as well. The big canopy does seem a lot better. I checked out that website you mentioned below at rticoolers.com but didn't see any tents. Gonna keep looking though. Subbed by the way...thanks for the feedback 👍
Our neighbors were throwing the one we’re using in the trash. I’m not sure what brand it is. It looks like one you may get at Dicks Sporting Goods. We have a “good tent” for places that don’t have salt and sand. We got that from RTIC Coolers website and it’s been a great canopy.
Lol I do the same thing essential but with my slippers at the beach. Dig a whole a foot down. Tie off my slipper with the guideline on the tent and bury it.
I use the corkscrew steaks that you put in the Ground to tie your dog leash to and 4 ratchet straps The tent definitely won’t blow away it will get destroyed before it will lol
I just bought the moon pence pop up tent on amazon and it’s awesome. You Definetly have to practice at home first but it’s so easy I’m a single woman and it’s easy for me with a couple of extras hands. Fully enclosed and great for naps!!
4 5 gallon buckets work well. The water is right there so just fill them up when you get there and dump them when you leave. They’re really light easy to carry and no digging
I bet that really holds it down. With all the other stuff I have to lug to the beach, 4 5 gallon buckets seems a but excessive for me but glad it works for you!
People nitpicking over them not showing it being buried deeper and/or not using proper knots and hitches. Which I agree they should have but still, it’s a great idea shown in a short vid 🙌🏾
We use a 10x10 poptent so all 13 of my family can sit in the shade if needed. Unfortunately the Augbrella isn't big enough. We've had it up in sustained 25 mph winds, and it is rock solid. If it the wind gets above that we just take it the whole canopy down. No sense in risking it fly away and injuring someone. Thanks for the comment!
@@herecomethelankfords1596 Wonderful idea! I upgraded and bought another canopy with the vented top. I am still going to use your Frisbee suggestion as well.
@@herecomethelankfords1596 Thanks. Just ordered the stakes. Our favourite beach is quite breezy. I’ve seen at least one other canopy fly down the beach and hoping to avoid that.
Love this!!! I did it today with "Red Flag" conditions. Worked AWESOME. I sprung for 4 lids for 5gal bucket at $2ea and clothesline cord.
Bury the legs a foot in sand, pour water in hole as you add sand. It'll hold in 20mph winds.
Thanks bud, this saved my canopy during a surprise wind storm this weekend. 👍👍👍
Awesome. Glad it worked out for you!

4 grocery bags full of sand and and a prusik knot from your cords for adjustability Fast n easy. Works like a charm!
He may not necessarily look like a stereotypical genius, but this man is in fact a total genius!! Thank you so much!
Fantastic thanks so much!
One improvement. Cut two “slots” on two opposing sides to make it easy to wrap the rope around the frisbee for storage.
Thanks man…..great idea! Your Wife’s comments in the background reminded me of mine.
Omg! You are such a lifesaver! I needed this
Fantastic idea! Simple solution for the beach 🏖
Thanks 😊
neat Idea I am trying to plan a way to keep a 10x10 canopy anchored on the beach next month on our trip. This seems so simple
I use a dollar store plastic auger anchor for my 6' umbrella, first digging a hole and filling it with water and sand after screwing the auger into the bottom. As a backup in high winds I use parachute cord tied to the ribs with the other end tied to the umbrella bag filled with sand, with 4 half hitches on one side and a taut line hitch on the other.
That is so awesome. Just my speed thank you. I got a cool tent for the beach but the stakes don’t work of course. Love it thank you
Glad it will work for you. We’re into our 3rd beach season with it and it’s still going strong.
Killer idea...gives ideas for using other items as well...Thanks
Great tip. Cheers from Bonnie Scotland. 🇬🇧👍🏼🇬🇧👍🏼🇬🇧
Love you guys. Used it in GS Alabama.. it worked.. slow clap brother..
Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome trick !! Thank you for sharing !!
Thank you!
great tip im going to try it! :)
Thank you man looks like really good 💡.
Great idea...frugal too
I bought some Beer Pong buckets from 5 Below. I drilled a hole an inch from the top of the buckets so the canopy ropes can be tied onto. i filled each bucket with sand and added water. The wind was no problem.

Wow great, thank you!
that was cool thanks for the tip
Thanks, Tim B!

I’m hoping this works for me and my family next wk when we venture to Daytona beach

Looking for this trick and realized you have the same last name as us!
Nice !!!
Awesome!!!!
Do you use any other anchor system in conjunction with the frisbees? Also, have you ever had your tent blow away?
Jesus paid it all, all to him I owe. I love it! We only use the frisbees and never had it blow away. I can't stress enough though, if the wind is dangerously strong we don't set up the canopy.

That’s brilliant
Awesome!
Very Clever!
Good one
Great tip. On a related note, what canopy brand/model are you using and is it good?
Our neighbors were throwing the one we’re using in the trash. I’m not sure what brand it is. It looks like one you may get at Dicks Sporting Goods. We have a “good tent” for places that don’t have salt and sand. We got that from RTIC Coolers website and it’s been a great canopy.
@@herecomethelankfords1596 Thanks much!
great idea
Lol I do the same thing essential but with my slippers at the beach. Dig a whole a foot down. Tie off my slipper with the guideline on the tent and bury it.
You think this will work on a neso gigante tent ? Filling up sandbags and buring them seems like alot of work im looking for a easier solution.
I think it would work well with that. You may need two frisbees for each pole. A total of 8 frisbees
Did you try these on your Neso?
I like plastic grocery bags. Put sand in them tie to leg and put on top of foot of tent. Be sure to put trash where it belongs after 😁
Thank you!
do you dig out holes for the tent legs?
No, I just sit the tent legs on the sand
I use the corkscrew steaks that you put in the Ground to tie your dog leash to and 4 ratchet straps The tent definitely won’t blow away it will get destroyed before it will lol
I have a Light wt, Pop-up beach Sunbuster. 50+ SPF protection, ripstop poly.
How long do you cut the ropes?
I cut each rope approx 8-10 ft so there is plenty of extra to bury the frisbees deep if the wind is strong.
Thanks
Can you recommend and good canopy? We have a toddler and are looking to buy one for the beach. Thanks!
We bought an RTIC canopy and really like it. RTICcoolers.com. They have a great sale going on right now too!
I just bought the moon pence pop up tent on amazon and it’s awesome. You Definetly have to practice at home first but it’s so easy I’m a single woman and it’s easy for me with a couple of extras hands. Fully enclosed and great for naps!!
❤
wait, wait, so She said she JUST pulled the rope...? huh? I will stick with my one person-Pop-up beach Sunbuster.
She didn't have hers buried in the sand. But you stick with what works for you.
🤯🤯
Use the walmart 50c plates
I use 3gallon buckets full of sand in 12-15 mph wind and higher wind up to 20mph bury the bucket full of sand for a 13x13 canopy
That'll hold it down!
Great idea!
my tip for you is wear sunscreen
I tie a guy line around my cooler wheel. My canopy is going nowhere.
FAAAAAK yeah 👍
4 5 gallon buckets work well. The water is right there so just fill them up when you get there and dump them when you leave. They’re really light easy to carry and no digging
I bet that really holds it down. With all the other stuff I have to lug to the beach, 4 5 gallon buckets seems a but excessive for me but glad it works for you!
4 long sand pegs is easier
The thumbs down votes must have come from the wind...
Hahaha! Right!
People nitpicking over them not showing it being buried deeper and/or not using proper knots and hitches. Which I agree they should have but still, it’s a great idea shown in a short vid 🙌🏾
bwahahahahahahahaaaa !!!!!1
So dumb. Augbrella bro. That rig there will pull up easily in high winds.
We use a 10x10 poptent so all 13 of my family can sit in the shade if needed. Unfortunately the Augbrella isn't big enough. We've had it up in sustained 25 mph winds, and it is rock solid. If it the wind gets above that we just take it the whole canopy down. No sense in risking it fly away and injuring someone. Thanks for the comment!

@@psychodad4634 hope it works well for you!
Was buying it til the wife said she just pulled hers up without having to unbury it. 🫠
She only had hers in the sand about 2". Take it down to 6-12 and they will hold strong.
@@herecomethelankfords1596 Thanks. Just ordered the stakes. Our favourite beach is quite breezy. I’ve seen at least one other canopy fly down the beach and hoping to avoid that.

That's awesome! I don't hear of many Lankford's around.
