Generally speaking, there are three ways to secure a patio umbrella. 1. Choose an umbrella base that is heavy enough to keep the umbrella stable in windy conditions. In general, a base weighing at least 50 pounds is recommended for a standard-size umbrella.
2. Sandbags or concrete blocks can also be used to hold down the umbrella base. Place sandbags or concrete blocks around the umbrella base to provide additional stability.
3. If you are not using the umbrella, close it and secure it with a strap or tie. This will prevent the umbrella from being blown away by the wind.
