Sport-BrellaPremiere , Multi-purpose Sun Umbrella for Garden, Easy Folding Setup, Blue, 8ft/244cm

An excellently made product with reliable and pleasant-to-the-touch materials. Easy and quick to assemble with plenty of components for a pleasant time at the beach.

I saw a couple of people using this Sport-Brella at a motor race meeting last week when it was really sunny, the circuit had no shade and most folk were roasting, and struggling with the heat. The two families I saw using the sport-Brella had it cracked, two adults and two kids in full shade and a private little area for their things, as a breeze built up they opened the two small windows in the brella to relieve the wind pressure and used two of the guy ropes.When mine arrived this morning I immediately put it up in the garden to try it....fantastic, when laid on its side it will accommodate two adults in normal deck chairs in shade and providing you didn’t face into a wind, you would stay dry in rain also. Excellent quality, though as a few folk have remarked the ground screw is a little flimsy, ok for soft ground, but could struggle in hard dry grass, though I guess you could replace the screw for an easy obtainable metal one if this was an issue. Overall a superb idea and product, good price point too, worth the money.

Great bit of kit. Used for a two day local festival. Came in useful all day on both days from sheltering from the rain. Held up very well a d kept us dry. Fits 2 people comfortable on the small camping chairs that are suggested to buy with it. Would be a tight fit if on normal camping chairs but manageable. Easy to carry in the bag but unfortunately the handle snapped on this carrying home on the first day.

Well made, solid product, provides huge amount of shade, use the product as its doescribed and it’s a very stable space, which copes easily with the sometimes strong breeze on the beachside. All comes in a super handy bag with shoulder strap so easy to transport. Packs down easy. Would highly recommend.

Great product - so much easier to use than an umbrella or beach tent !

Roomy, robust and does the job extremely well. Very easy to assemble and put away. Only need to stake down in windy weather

Easy to set up, although have to be sensible when there is any wind. When pegged down it offers good resistance to the wind and remains solid and stable.

DO NOT BUY THIS UMBRELLA!! I took this Sport-brella Premiere to the beach for its third outing after buying it in July. The wind was a little gusty but nothing that this umbrella shouldn't be able to handle, as there were lots of beach tents and parasols being used on the beach. On trying to put the umbrella up it got blown inside out. After this, I noticed that the metal used to secure the umbrella support arms had broken at the top and bottom of the umbrella. The metal ring used to secure these arms is so flimsy that it breaks really easily as you can see from the pictures. The support arms had also bent so badly that the umbrella couldn't close and one of the arms had ripped through the material. The wind wasn't even that bad! You would think that something that supports the structure of the umbrella should be able to cope with a lot more pressure than it did. For the amount of money that this umbrella costs I would expect a lot more quality of the product. I would advise anyone who is thinking of purchasing one, DO NOT! I will be pursuing a refund from the supplier.
