Simple to set up, I bought 3x 22.5kg bags of sand to weigh it down, more weight than required but no matter. This cost me ￡9. You can cover the weights up with the black cover. You could use anything heavy to weigh it down which is handy. This meant I didnt have to open the bags of sand and pour then into the black bags provided which might have been a bit messy. Have ordered a wide case to keep it in, and stepladder as its really tall! When the wind blows it moves a bit with the wind rather than trying to stand firm and I think this helps it more than if it was perfectly still. Im wary theres 3 parasols and only one has a pole, but 2nd day of use and all seems good. The weight at the base is so heavy now with 3 sand bags
N. I will keep an eye on the tightness of the hinges just in case of any loosening.
Withstanding the wind
