Question 1

Are you sure I'll be able to take the kids to the beach without my husband? I've been staying at home baking cookies and knitting when he's at work.

Accepted Answer

Maybe you should pose the question to your husband while you are making him a drink and lighting his smoke after he comes home from the office to the aroma of fresh baked cookies and pot roast. With his encouragement and permission you may find that you CAN go to the beach without a man! :-) Great question btw!

Question 2

Does the canopy angle adjust at all?  How do you deal with the late afternoon sun?  The base looks like you can only have the pole straight up.

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. There are 2 main reason for the tilt feature in a beach umbrella. The BUBrella addresses both. First, tilt features are built into beach umbrellas to help with wind resistance. The BUBrella does not need this feature to withstand 35 mph wind. Second, as the sun sets tilting the umbrella helps to shade the setting sun. The beachBUB system uses a different approach to block the rays of the setting sun. Simply tilt the umbrella and base as a single unit. In order to tilt the whole umbrella you first build the base as you normally would making sure that you completely fill and pack the sand as you fill.  Insert and open the umbrella.  Gently, and with constant pressure, tilt the umbrella into the suns' rays.  The umbrella has been tested to tilt up to 45 degrees. When you have blocked the sun all you need to do is re-fill the base if any sand has dribbled out.  Also the pyramid shape of the base may become distorted but this will not affect the performance of the base or umbrella.

Question 3

Does the umbrella have UV protection?

Accepted Answer

Dominick, thank you for your question. Yes, the BUBrella has the maximum UV Rating of 50 UPF And endorsed by the Skin Cancer Foundation. UPF relates to clothing and shelters and the maximum rating is 50 whereas SPF relates to lotion and has a maximum rating of 100.

Question 4

This question has been answered before, but over time it looks like there has been some changes-does it still come with the towel hook?

Accepted Answer

Dan,  Thank you for your question.  Yes, it comes complete with the Towel Hook and Sand Scoop.Best,Bill SchermerhornPresidentbeachBUB USA
