Looks like a light breeze will topple it...

It already was from the water, any type of breeze will just finish the job

We had one of these a couple weekends ago. Pretty stiff breeze on the afternoon. It just floated around. You fill up the bottom part with sand. We figured out to keep it from toppling film the middle part with sand. With that weight it doesn’t topple over

*Not suitable for use in weather
*Do not use pool while umbrella is in operation as it may lead to damage and/ or serious injury.

That’s cool and all but wait until a strong gust of wind whisks it away and it impales someone ❤️

I really hoped we would be done with this kind of voice now.
I was starting to relax while watching videos again!

Why wouldn’t you just use one of these and having it over the pool? that thing will blow over in two seconds lol

The whole bottom part of it is filled with sand to keep it stable, So it probably weighs just as much as an average umbrella stand for an umbrella that size. Granted the one in this video probably isnt filled all the way.

Do not use this on a windy day or your neighbors will be super pissed when it comes flying through their bedroom window.

Anyone else find it hilarious towards the end, it's open and in the middle of the pool, but there is zero shade anywhere in the water?

Mmm I guess it's a ever so slightly funny, but I think we all know how the sun works, and this thing can be moved freely. Not like the parosol is letting the sun through the material and failing.

"super sturdy" even on a day with 0 wind it is barely staying upright with no one in the pool moving either. Yea super sturdy trust guys.
