As winds strengthen along the Gulf Coast, it’s crucial to emphasize the use of secure beach umbrellas. BeachBUB ULTRA Beach Umbrella Base, available at https://beachbub.com and https://gulfcoastrentalco.com, meets ASTM standards for safety. This compliance is vital, Especially following the recent ASTM f3681-24 standard, which highlights the ineffectiveness of traditional anchoring methods. “People don’t understand the danger of windblown airborne beach umbrellas,” says Ed Quigley, an ASTM consumer member previously injured by an airborne beach umbrella. “An airborne beach umbrella is like a javelin with a sail attached. Everyone needs to know that people have died from these. If a beach umbrella isn’t used with an adequate anchor device, it isn’t safe.”
The new safety standard requires a minimum of 75 lbs of resistance at the base of the umbrella pole, deemed effective for winds up to 30 mph. Using the beachBUB ULTRA Base ensures compliance with this regulation, providing approximately 125 lbs of sand when properly filled. It’s imperative to fill the base completely to maintain stability, preventing accidents such as tipping over or flying away.
A few important tips to remember…
Use your hand or foot to clear away the top few inches of dry fluffy sand and prepare a flat spot for your beachBUB® Base.
Use the Sand Gopher to create the hole in the sand for your umbrella pole to insert into.
ALWAYS FILL YOUR BASE COMPLETELY FULL USING YOUR FOOT TO PACK THE SAND DOWN INTO THE BASE AS YOU GO.
After filling, your base should be firm and taut and you should be able to bounce a coin off the sides of the base.
In order for the base to be compliant with the Safety Standard it must contain at least 75 lbs of sand. When properly filled, the beachBUB ULTRA Beach Umbrella Base is designed to hold a total of 125 lbs of sand.
To spread awareness and ensure safety compliance, it’s essential to educate fellow beachgoers about this new standard. By informing friends and family about the importance of ASTM-compliant beach umbrellas, we contribute to making our beaches safer for everyone.
