Don’t worry if you have a light weight beach umbrella. Because there are a few things to keep in mind when anchoring a beach umbrella into the sand. It is easier to secure a lightweight umbrella than a heavier version that wants to fall over. Because an umbrella is light weight it is also more likely not  to blow away and has a higher chance at staying put. The wind catches a heavier umbrella more than a lightweight one and because of that sets it sailing.

When wanting to anchor your beach umbrella in the sand, there are a few options.  It is always an option to purchase or make a beach sand anchor   To secure your umbrella into the sand without an anchor, you must rock the pole from side to side to get the pole the deepest. This is why a pointed bottom end is better than the screw bottoms. Don’t repeatedly stab the end of the umbrella pole into the sand. This method will lead to damaging the pole and still not being secure in the sand.

Tip: To add some extra security for your umbrella, build a sand mound around the base of the umbrella. You can even wet the mound of sand with water to make it firm.

If you have a heavy-duty canvas beach umbrella, it may be wise to purchase a heavy-duty anchor. These anchors can be made from plastic or metal. It is better to have a light weight beach umbrella so that you do not have to carry an anchor to the beach. Also, always tip the beach umbrella toward the wind. The wind will be able to push the umbrella into the ground rather than pulling it out.
