I love your videos! The humor and production values are great. I really like how you cover cheap and expensive equipment. (I'm a gear guy too.) Please do not change the background music. It is perfect and sets a great tone.
I have a couple different ones similar to the beacher. They've worked well for me. I usually dig a hole about 6 inches deep or so, and then screw it in so the top is below ground level. Secure the umbrella and cover the whole anchor with sand. Very solid.
Thank you for showing me how to use my beach umbrella anchor properly!! I bought two for my beach rental business and had a hunch there was a better way to use it. I appreciate your time and investment in making this easier for us!
Love love love my Beach Bub. Worth every dime. I don’t have the strength for the auger. Beach Bub weighs 9#- like a case of beer. I cross-bodied it, “backpacked” my chair, carried my tote and had no problems!
Another multi use umbrella anchor is a 5 gallon bucket. Just fill with water or sand and use bungee cords to hold it in place. Bonus- the bucket can be used to hold lots of stuff
Down here on the Texas coast, I never could get the "Beacher" (at 4:25) to work. It just spins on top of the sand without digging in. Some anchors are more tapered and pointed - do those work better?
Do you have recommendations for the best tilting umbrella? I love the idea of the beachbub, but really want a tilting umbrella. Love your videos! Excellent all-around! Thanks!
Thanks, Amy! Have you watched this video yet? th-cam.com/video/7r7CYRx1sLY/w-d-xo.html I review two of my budget beach umbrellas that tilt. I'm still searching for a solid beach umbrella that tilts and is also good in 20+ MPH winds. Maybe we'll have to invent one ourselves.
Thanks for all your reviews! I followed your new link and purchased this from Amazon. I’m pondering the Pacific Breeze tent as well. Amazon now sells the tent with the extendable floor now in case you can add that to your review. :)
I reviewed the beachgrip after making this video. The beachgrip is good, but it's only compatible with thinner beach umbrella poles. Right now the Hammering Stake is my favorite. My second go-to beach umbrella anchor is the Beachr.
I've never tried this before, but I suppose you could use four Beachr beach umbrella anchors to help support the Neso poles. Honestly though, if it's set up correctly, there should be enough tension to hold the poles right in place. I've actually ordered a large Red Suricata Canopy beach shade that does come with 4 additional pole anchors. It will be interesting to see how they work.
@@BeachGearGuy im just trying to figure out an easier way then having to dig and fill up the tension bags. Trying to see if i eliminate the bags and use heavy duty sand anchors or stakes .
@@rq5304 I here you R Q. Filling up the anchor bags is the best way to go though. I've tried using 9" orange screw ground anchors to secure canopy beach tents to the beach but they usually get pulled out of the sand. But since you are a subscriber, I'll tell you what I'm going to do; I'm going to buy four large 12 1/4" Orange Screws right now on Amazon and try to use them to secure the Neso to the beach. I'll let you know how it works out.
I have the Beachr and it's hard as heck to make it go into the sand. In this case it has hard packed sand. I have another augur that's metal and it's just as hard to use. Is it a muscle thing?
If it's hard packed sand, I find it helps to push down on the T handle a little bit to get it going. At first, it may seem like you're getting nowhere fast, but once the augur gets into the sand, it should drill right down into the beach.
Any advice on one for the sports Brella, something at an angle? We have an older sport Brella but would like a better anchor then the spiked pole it comes with.
Hi Amber! Have you watched my Sport-Brella video? th-cam.com/video/hsOEqs9BvaQ/w-d-xo.html I really never needed to anchor the Sport-Brella pole down when I used it on it's side.
Dig-git is the best if you want to save money and is pretty reliable. The plastic ridges on the beachr can break off easily, making the product useless.
The dig-git is a popular beach umbrella anchor and I've used it a bunch of times. I sometimes have found it difficult to sufficiently pack the sand around the the handle/pole insert. This difficulty causes bigger beach umbrellas to tilt slightly. I like the Beachr because it's very light (I love portability) and it does a great job keeping the umbrella pole straight on the beach when used properly. (I'm not using it properly when I'm running around the beach with the leaf blower.) There is some displaced sand that rises to the top when it's being screwed down and it may appear to be loose on top, but the auger is long enough to really secure it in the sand. With all that being said, I still think the dig-git shovel is cool and I totally understand why it's popular.
Thanks for the feedback. It is a lot cheaper, so maybe I will give it a try. Does it hold up in the dry beach sand well? Usually we sit away from the water where the sand is dry.
@@JesusPaidItAll For the best results, I've just swept away the top layer of soft, powdery sand with my foot until I get down to the firmer, hard packed sand and then I start twisting.
No, I'm not getting paid by them. I bought all the beach umbrella anchors in the video with my hard-earned money. I like the Beachr because it's lightweight, easy to use, and has always worked well for me. If you're having difficulties with the Beachr, I'm sure it's because you're not using it correctly. And I say that with peace and love.
Best product review I’ve seen on TH-cam 😂. Your sense of humor is Top tier.
Thanks, Alex!
This is the video I needed very long time ago, like a year ago, when I got a mad wife on vacations
Just bought your Number 1 anchor can't wait to
try it! Thank you for such a great video. I appreciated your time.
Cool! Hope the Beachr works out well for you, Amy!
I love your videos! The humor and production values are great. I really like how you cover cheap and expensive equipment. (I'm a gear guy too.) Please do not change the background music. It is perfect and sets a great tone.
Thanks! I really appreciate your comment! I'm happy you like my videos & I won't change the music!
You helped solidify my upcoming purchase of the Beachr. Thanks for the video!
Cool! Glad the video helped!
Good video, really funny. We’ll go with the beacher
I have a couple different ones similar to the beacher. They've worked well for me. I usually dig a hole about 6 inches deep or so, and then screw it in so the top is below ground level. Secure the umbrella and cover the whole anchor with sand. Very solid.
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
Yep...#1 is my favorite too. Simple design, easy to use, lightweight & easy to pack. ⛱💯😎
Right on!
Thanks,retiring to the beach. Very informative.
My pleasure! Where's the beach area you're retiring?
Awesome. Just ordered your #1 pick. 3000 people end up in the ER every year from umbrella injuries!!!!!
Cool! Please let me know what you think of it.
Thank you for showing me how to use my beach umbrella anchor properly!! I bought two for my beach rental business and had a hunch there was a better way to use it. I appreciate your time and investment in making this easier for us!
Great! Glad I could help! Which beach umbrella anchor did you buy?
Love love love my Beach Bub. Worth every dime. I don’t have the strength for the auger. Beach Bub weighs 9#- like a case of beer. I cross-bodied it, “backpacked” my chair, carried my tote and had no problems!
I love the BeachBUB too! Best beach umbrella for a wind day. Happy to hear that it's working out for you Mimi! Thanks for the comment!
definitely number 1
Need another video of the best beach umbrella anchors of 2024!
th-cam.com/video/iCZzPqzwVeQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks, awesome video!💪
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
We have the Beach Bub. It is incredible. Very high quality umbrella and parts. It would take a hurricane to move this thing!
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
Digger one was awesome. Also the beacher awesome too!
Thanks Dave👍 Your cool blue paracord bracelet brings me good luck!
Cool feed back

Try pushing away the top layer of sand and then twist it down. Also, make sure you twist the handles clockwise.

Beachbub is pretty pricey but is a good package. It can be set up by people who might not have the strength to crank a screw anchor in.
Right on! The BeachBub is really easy to set up. The BEACHBUB All-in-One Beach Umbrella System was offered on Amazon for $149 and now it's $130.
Thanks for all your reviews! I followed your new link and purchased this from Amazon. I’m pondering the Pacific Breeze tent as well. Amazon now sells the tent with the extendable floor now in case you can add that to your review. :)

How are these compared to beachgrip though ? İs it any better ?
I reviewed the beachgrip after making this video. The beachgrip is good, but it's only compatible with thinner beach umbrella poles. Right now the Hammering Stake is my favorite. My second go-to beach umbrella anchor is the Beachr.
I have a hard time getting purchase in the sand with the Beachr, but it’s lightweight
Can you do a review on beach wagons
A beach wagon review is in the works.
I don't know if you hav try the BEACHBUB Sand Gopher - but omg way easier then the anchor and not heavy at all
So if I'm stuck using a small, cheap umbrella... I should at least get a Beachrr??? (umbrella newb here)
Sure! Then you'll have it when you eventually upgrade to a nicer beach umbrella.
What about the SAND BADGER ?
Think any of these would work on a neso beach tent ?
I've never tried this before, but I suppose you could use four Beachr beach umbrella anchors to help support the Neso poles. Honestly though, if it's set up correctly, there should be enough tension to hold the poles right in place.

Can't find the beachr on amazon. Other styles but not that one
It looks like they just sold out. :( Keep checking though. I'm sure they're scrambling to get them back in stock. amzn.to/2D1MEQS
The digger looks appears to be the best one in my opinion. BeachBub is waay too expensive. The beacher appears to lean as the hole in the sand widens.
The dig-git is a popular beach umbrella anchor and I've used it a bunch of times. I sometimes have found it difficult to sufficiently pack the sand around the the handle/pole insert. This difficulty causes bigger beach umbrellas to tilt slightly.

Mike's Spike (Hammerhead Umbrella Spike) is easier and more sturdier than all of these.
The Beachr Parasol Umbrella Sand Anchor is junk. Are you getting paid by them ? The rest are good how did you get that one to number one ???????
No, I'm not getting paid by them. I bought all the beach umbrella anchors in the video with my hard-earned money. I like the Beachr because it's lightweight, easy to use, and has always worked well for me. If you're having difficulties with the Beachr, I'm sure it's because you're not using it correctly. And I say that with peace and love.
Number # 1 doesn't work. You can't screw it into beach sand. It is not pointy enough. Similar auger styles with more of a cone shape works much better
My #1 choice has worked great for me.
All of these are trash compared to Mike's Spikes! Get the Hammerhead!
