Buoy Beach Beach Umbrella Sand Anchor - The Original Shade Anchor Bag Works with Any Beach Umbrella on Any Type of Sand (Umbrella not Included) - Royal Blue

This is the best beach umbrella anchor we have found in the market. We’ve been searching for an answer to battle the wind on the beach for 4 years. We tried different anchors, and different umbrellas hoping to stop them from flipping inside out, coming loose in the sand and taking flight. This is an excellent product that actually works. However, the quality needs some tweaking. We purchased two of the anchor bags. one of the bags has come apart at the seam that connects the nylon fabric to the bag after using it 4 times. Unfortunately, we have no recourse because we are past the Amazon 30 day return policy. Boo! We have had people ask us about the product each time we’ve used it because they can see it works! Even with the quality issue we encountered, I will be purchasing again and would absolutely recommend this product.Feedback to the manufacturer - another tab at the bottom of the bag to hold onto when emptying out the sand would be very helpful.

I bought 2 of these for a beach trip to the NC Coast. Pretty simple to use. They work as advertise. My only complaint is after the 1st day I ended ripping one where the nylon and canvas are seamed. I tried to pick up the bag filled with standby the nylon. Obviously, the nylon wasn’t meant to support 40lbs of sand. Take down was easy. Just pull the umbrella out and turn the bag over and empty. I will most likely buy another one to replace the one I ripped, now that I know what not to do.

I have always struggled with anchoring an umbrella at the beach. I have tried so many sand anchors and nothing seems to work. My umbrella would go flying At the slightest gust of wind. I just tried the anchor bag at the beach and it worked perfectly. My umbrella was firmly planted in the sand not once did it seem like it wasn't stable. It's easy to dump sand in and dump the sand out. Anyone can do it I wish I had brought this product sooner.also its very stylish and can hold small beach supplies.

No longer fear that my umbrella will be picked up by high wind and injure someone. Super easy to set up. Bag serves multiple purposes. Main one is to secure our beach umbrella. Secondly, we use it to carry beach toys. Since there is a hole in the bottom of bag (to insert the umbrella) sand is mostly gone from beach toys by the time we walk back to beach house. Side, mesh pockets handy to carry stuff.If you buy, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Great at first but broke after the first use.

Love it! I got this because my metal screw type anchor had rusted and could no longer tighten it to hold my umbrella. Took it the beach yesterday. It was very windy but my umbrella didn't move! Am ordering more for my family because they had the screw umbrella anchors and their umbrella took off down the beach. My was easier to set up and take down. The bonus is that I can use it as a bag for all the sandy beach toys at the end of the day.

I took other's advice and didn't move it when it was full and we had no issues with it ripping. We used it in VA Beach as a strong wind storm was coming through and we were very impressed with how well our umbrellas stayed in place. I would definitely recommend these and would buy them again if needed.

We bought this for a recent beach trip and set it up with the umbrella. In no time the steady-but-not-unusual wind (it is the beach after all) knocked the whole set-up over. So I tried to bury the anchor but the stitching tore as soon as I picked it up. Apparently a bag designed to be used while full of sand isn't actually strong enough to hold together when full of sand. I buried what was left but my umbrella still rocked all over the place in the wind. Save your money, buy a cheap corkscrew-type anchor and bury it as deeply as you can in the sand and that will hold a lot better than this device.
