Wind: Wind is the most common reason why patio umbrellas blow over. If the wind is strong enough, it can even cause damage to your umbrella or the surrounding furniture. It’s important to choose an umbrella with a sturdy base and pole that can withstand wind gusts. Additionally, you can look for models with air vents, which allow wind to pass through the canopy, reducing the risk of your umbrella tipping over.
Incorrect Positioning: Placing your umbrella in an incorrect position can also lead to it tipping over. If your umbrella is not centered over the base, or if it’s positioned on uneven ground, it’s more likely to tip over. Make sure to check that the umbrella is correctly positioned and level before you use it.
Invest in a Sturdy Base: Choosing a sturdy and heavy base is essential to keep your patio umbrella stable. The weight of the base should be appropriate for the size of your umbrella. For larger umbrellas, choose a heavier base to provide greater stability. You can also consider purchasing a base with wheels, which makes it easier to move your umbrella around.
Secure the Umbrella Canopy: Some umbrella models come with straps or ties that can be used to secure the canopy to the frame. This helps to prevent the canopy from catching the wind and blowing over. If your umbrella doesn’t come with straps or ties, you can purchase them separately and attach them yourself.
Use Sandbags or Weights: Another option to keep your patio umbrella from blowing over is to use sandbags or weights. You can place these on top of the base to provide extra weight and stability. This is a particularly useful option if you have a smaller umbrella that doesn’t require a heavy base.
This is my third one of these umbrellas as they last for years! I keep 2 on my pool deck.. so easy to open and close or tilt..
Just what we were looking for. Superbly made, durable, wonderful attention to detail in the pulley system, and a good substantial look.
Great product. Sturdy and well made.
Fits great and covers all the way to the bottom. I like it.
