NICE SHORT TERM THROW AWAY BEACH SHADE
We installed our Sport-Brella on the beach outside our condo with special wind anchors.
Nov 2014 - Looked good, things went well for about a week then we noticed tearing of material around grommets at bottom front.
Wind seemed to want to blow Brella backwards so we used the plastic anchor clips on the front top to install an anchor on each side. The winds were not storm winds just daily wind changes here on the beach that all other kinds of other sun shades and umbrellas were up.
After a week we noticed that the Sport-Brella material on the top clips had 10" rips in the material on each side.
That's my sandal sticking through the tear on one side.
Zippers on the vent windows were not made for ocean exposure. After the first week they were corroded and stuck open
WHEN OUR VACATION IS OVER, WE WILL DEPOSIT THIS SPORT- BRELLA IN THE DUMPSTER.
