Here are a few tips:
1. Remove the rubber (or plastic) cap
from the tip of the stake before using.
2. Before inserting the stake in the
ground, open the umbrella and move
it around to see which angle creates
the most shade on the spot where
you want to be. Take into consider-
ation the direction of the sun’s move-
ment to anticipate how your shade
will change over time.
3. Insert the stake in the ground us-
ing the foot pedal so that the cylinder
will hold the umbrella at the correct
angle.

5. In windy conditions, it might be
helpful to prop one of the vents open
(with a bit of cardboard, a Dixie cup,
a short length of pipe insulation, etc.).
If the umbrella does blow inside-out,
just push it back and it will be good as
new.
6. The Shadebuddy™ also makes
an excellent windbreak if set at a 90°
angle.
7. Even if you don’t have good old
mother earth to press the stand into,
you can often nd something to bun-
gee it to like Brian Buckrell (right). The
Shadebuddy™ has a special feature:
3 metal tie down loops just under the
knob (above). Also available is the
Shadebuddy™ Tie Down Kit (item#
309KIT - sold separately) that includes
stakes, straps and clips, easily stowed
in the accessory pouch on the side of
the Shadebuddy™ shoulder bag.
4. Insert the umbrella handle into the
cylinder and snap the metal latch over
it to hold it in place. Note: The use of
the metal latch is optional. You may
decide that it might be better if a gust
of wind takes just the umbrella.
