Sport-BrellaUltra SPF 50+ Angled Shade Canopy Umbrella for Optimum Sight Lines at Sports Events (8-Foot)

Not terribly durable and you have to really be careful opening it or you will bend one of the thin umbrella arms. Otherwise, it works great. If you are using this at the beach, detach the bottom pole with the screw end and screw that in the sand first. Then put the umbrella portion in the pole.

Only used twice and it fell apart. We were at the beach and a typical day at the beach and it come apart. I would not recommend buy this.

I bought this umbrella in anticipation of using it for many beach a lake trips this summer. I was only able to use it twice. When I first opened it on first use, the spokes were bent, but overall the umbrella functioned effectively. The second use, I took it to the beach and it completely broke, the mechanism involved in closing the umbrella malfunction and after much frustrating and fighting with this big umbrella on the windy, beach, we got it to close, but the umbrella is unusable. The umbrella I received was damaged from the beginning and after 2 uses a big disappointment, and waste of my money.

The very first time I took it out, I bent one of the stakes, but it's been pretty stable otherwise. Great for getting some fresh air alone (especially with the little window) and can fit three if the sun gets to be too much.

Just got it today, went up so easy. So light weight and easy for me to handle by myself. I'll be using it at soccer games & any other events I attend to protect myself & grandkids from the sun. Of course if it's windy I'll just leave it in the car since NO umbrella or sun shade can withstand the wind, I've had anchored Easy Up's take off on me in the wind. Can't believe how many people are saying it's bad quality because it doesn't hold up to the wind.

This is a good sized umbrella that provides enough shade for 4 adults. It sets up easily and the vent lets a little breeze in.The only downside is that it seems a little poorly made. The umbrella spokes are thin and could easily bend. They are only lightly attached to the umbrella. I’m certain that this thing will be torn apart in even a semi strong wind. For this reason I probably would look elsewhere.

Bought this because it would arrive in the time I needed it to so I could sit on the beach last minute with my family. It worked great.I would say, if you are in high winds, you might want to also buy an anchor for this, the design on the pole itself works OK, but only screws down so far.The shade is awesome, the tilt is awesome, the panels you pull down and stake in work great.Just make sure it's secured!

With my kids’ sport seasons in full swing I decided to purchase this to offer relief from the relentless southwestern sun. The umbrella does a great job at that, offering a great space for 2 people to cool off out of the sun. The problem is it does not stand up to even minor wind gusts. My second time using this umbrella I had it setup with its back to the breeze when a minor back draft kicked up and immediately turned the umbrella inside out, bending poles and locking the umbrella in a half open position. After carefully trying to bend the poles back I was able to salvage the purchase, but not for long. On my 3rd use a similar back draft hit the umbrella and it completely fell apart. I’m sitting on a sideline watching my kid play and all of a sudden I’m tangled in umbrella fabric and loose metal support poles. All of the umbrella spines are held onto the umbrella pole by a wire no thicker than a paper clip, and when it breaks your umbrella is done for. I took the time to layout and install a thicker gauge wire, but it was no easy task. I would avoid this product if you don’t want similar problems.
