Sport-BrellaSport-Brella Super-Brella SPF 50+ Sun and Rain Canopy Umbrella for Camping, Beach and Sports Events (8-Foot, Blue)

Absolutely wonderful on the beach! Super easy to assemble and it does the job of shielding the harsh sun. Love the zippered windows. I would recommend buying the plastic 9” stakes that screw into the ground because if it’s windy, the metal stakes that come with this will pull out of the sand.

Easy to open and close. Has a nice weight to it. Seems solid. Have not tried it out yet, just opened up in mt apartment.

This is my third sportbrella in the last 20 years. Excellent product. Used each faithfully for many years.

I swear I ordered the one that the pole would adjust so that you could bend it to different angles to block the sun. This one's ok. It'a bit of a pain to use with chairs when the suns not directly above you. I haven't used with rain.

Can an umbrella be too big? Maybe, but this one is great for hiding under its shade on a hot July shade. Two adults or a few kids can fit comfortably. It gets a little floppy in strong winds. I should be better at bringing the stakes and staking it down, but there's only so much a parent can remember on game day.

I’ve used this umbrella thing twice now, over the summer and I was personally impressed and so were others. $44 for this bad boy was so worth it. I know people mentioned about it being flimsy in the wind, but LUCKILY I haven’t encountered my share of windy beach days yet, so i never got to use the stakes (i did buy a separate pair for extra support).I WILL SAY, as a MINOR con: the metal stakes that came with it weren’t super supportive; they’d come out easily from the sand (and this was a slight breeze or minor shift in the sand that it’d come undone). But that’s about it. I would just strongly suggest putting something on top of the metal stakes to keep it secured to the ground.Overall, I LOVE IT. Def worth the purchase. Hopefully I’ll use this again for Labor Day weekend.

I purchased this to help block out some sun when outdoors. Our summers in Dallas, Texas are comparable to what hell must feel like so finding a constant source of shade is paramount. This umbrella definitely helps to block out the sun while helping to stay cool. The side vents allow a breeze to come through and the size allows for several people to stay in the shade. One of my favorite purchases of the year, I highly recommend. I ended up using my camp tents ground stakes instead of the ones that came with it because they are sturdier and easier to push into the ground. Make your time outside more comfortable with this amazing oversized ground umbrella.

Good through about one per year.
