Here's a simple solution to the age old problem of securing a top heavy beach umbrella on a breezy day. While we always encourage beach goers to take down their umbrellas when the wind kicks up, we also recognize that coastal breezes - to some degree - are ever present. Our beach umbrella tethers are a simple, lightweight and inexpensive way to ensure your shady spot on the beach. The weather is unpredictable. You may not need them at all. However, we feel that this kit is a sensible back up plan when the coastal breezes threaten to send your umbrella tumbling down the shoreline.
