Here's how to plant the parasol on the beach to prevent it from blowing away. A brilliant tip

Whatever we say, the parasol is surely the best investment at this time of year to spend a great day at the beach. It is still necessary to bet on an article of good quality, resistant and solid. To protect yourself from UV rays and spend a moment in peace, it is the ideal ally during the summer season. But, no one is immune to certain inconveniences: as long as there are a few gusts of wind, you have to be very vigilant because your parasol can fall on you without warning or on one of your relatives. Worse still, it may fly up and frolic on the sand, possibly injuring your neighbors at the beach. Don’t worry, thanks to these little tips, your parasol won’t move out of place!

A few tips to prevent your parasol from flying away at the beach

Above all thing, the best way to avoid this kind of inconvenience is to buy a plastic spike that sinks into the sand. You can find them online or in any accessible beach shop in all coastal areas. Without a doubt, this is the most judicious method to properly nail it to the beach.

Of course, the choice of parasol is often difficult because they come in all shapes, colors and prices. However, we recommend that you prefer the most optimal models with two bars at the top, which are used to turn and push the skewer deep into the sand. By opting for this type of parasol, be sure that it will not fly away easily and that it will last you all summer long. In addition, to guarantee this, you can even moisten it slightly before gluing the skewer and the parasol.

As a general rule, most people build a mound of sand around their parasol to prevent it from moving. In reality, it does not have much effect, but for safety reasons, it is better to adopt all the precautions to avoid possible accidents. Also, be aware that when there is a lot of wind at the seaside, the convex part of the parasol must exert resistance. Therefore, before nailing it, always observe where the air is coming from to position it correctly.

Another interesting tip: take a plastic bag , fill it with sand, pebbles or whatever you think is practical to give it more weight and hang it on one of the poles of the parasol. With all that, it would really take a monstrous storm to get it off the ground!
