Wind blew it out of the sand on first use. Second use put it in even deeper than the square plate, which required to dig around the plate to submerge it below the sand then cover it. Even milder wind than first time blew it out of the sand. After those two episodes of running down the umbrella with this anchor attached, I persisted and it has worked. But if these was any wind I had to watch closely and reset it when it started to slip out.A month later I was walking around the local Walmart, which I rarely do, and what do I see, these same exact umbrella anchors for just under $10. Exact right down to the weld.Too bad - too late to return this one. Check Walmart!
