I bought sport beach umbrella 9ft twice and twice it was broken in the same spot. It’s design is beautiful, I really loved it but it has a very weak aluminum ring (looks like copper because it’s really bad) that put and hold the whole umbrella together. It breaks very easily with soft winds. The first one broke down the very first day I used it. The second one lasted 1 year. Now going for the beachbub umbrella. I don’t want to waste more money.
