Solbello® Shade - The ultimate Wind-Driven® beach umbrella. Effortless to set up, lightweight, won't blow down the beach, UPF 50+ sun protection

I was very excited to try by Sunbello on our 5 day trip to the Outer Banks of NC. This sun shade did not disappoint. On the first evening we tried it there was minimal wind but we staked it into the sand and it provided great protection from the sun. The next day there was a great deal of wind which caused the Sunbello to rotate often and not provide consistent shade. What we realized then was that there are 2 additional holes near the front of the material closest to the center pole that allows you to stake it at the front in order to prevent it from rotating; That was a game-changer…the Sunbello provided great shade that did not move in the wind once we staked it. Best part, it sets up soooo fast. I saw a couple working to put up another type of sunshade. About 3mins into watching them bumble to set up their sunshade and fill bags with sand, my husband came back from the room with our Sunbello. I took it out of the bag, set it up and was back in my beach chair sipping my wine before the couple finished setting up their shade. Another day during this same vacation, an older gentleman walked over to us and asked about the Sunbello because he was impressed at how sleek it looked and how easy it looked to set up as compared to his umbrella which required filing a sand bag. We love this sunshade as you can tell. The overall quality, the light weight of it, the height that allowed for us to stand underneath and the ease of getting it back in the bag are only a few of the reasons we love the Sunbello so much. Hope this helps!

Best sunshade ever! I did a lot of research before buying a sunshade and I’m 100% satisfied with this product. First of all, it costs less than competitors & yes, I know it costs more than a beach umbrella but do you wanna be running down the beach to chase after it when the wind blows it away?? It’s lightweight, doesn’t take up much room in my Kia Spectra (sm car), and is super easy to install. Plus, it offers enough shade for my family of 4 to find comfort/shade from the sun. Oh & a huge difference between Solbello and its competitors is that you don’t have to reposition it bc it moves on a swivel with the wind. The sail and its poles are very durable. I’m sure it came with instructions but I didn’t need them. It’s that straightforward. You take out the pole, pop out the handles & twist it into the sand then open the sail out like wings and click it into place in the base pole. A lot of reviewers said it’s noisy but that was not the case for me and I’m one that has a keen ear for noise. This company blew me away from the start. Before I’d even had a chance to write a review or take my beach trip, they sent me a free quiet shade. I am so thankful for Solbello & am strongly advising you consider this w/o hesitation!

We bought the shade September of last year. This is true review. I was not paid to say anything, but I figured after using it a few times now it was time to review it. We just had this on the beach Hatteras in North Carolina and it was a very windy day. You can see by the video a consistent wind of 25 to 30 mph with Gust quite a bit above that, And we had absolutely no issues. If you look at the picture I created a cotter pin to put through where they had that little knob of plastic, which for me, mine broke off the very first time we put it up. I just drilled a hole through that exact spot Rigged up a line holding the pin and now when I set up, I just pushed it through. And to me it made it so much more stable and I would highly recommend they create a better pin system to hold the top portion on during very windy days. I highly recommend during set up. You just take the auger part out of the bag first Clear the loose sand, and then screw it down in and I would go as far as you can like past the little red line that they show, before putting the top portion on, I just felt like it made the the base way more stable, and as you can see from my video, it worked perfectly. This is mainly for two people. It will not shade a huge area, but for my wife and it works perfectly and the set up takes literally about two minutes, mostly just auguring the base down into the sand as far as possible to taking it down. It’s easy. It works better with two people on a very windy day like that day where one can hold the end while the other kind of pulls out the Bar and starts to wind it up that way it’s not flapping and pulling out of your hands just my suggestion. We love it and we will keep using it. If anything changes I will update my review. The unit is also very light. I mean I would guess maybe 2 pounds or so and it’s got a shoulder strap, but it is quite easy to carry around.

Like most folks, I've been a daily Amazon user for years. This is one of only a few (if any) reviews that I have posted. I have been a veteran beach goer my whole life (60 years) and always use an umbrella. I don't like direct exposure to the sun. I don't want to sound dramatic, but this product is the most innovative umbrella / sun shade that I've ever seen. The bottom line is that it works with the wind instead of fighting it. It only needs a minimal breeze to work effectively. It makes a much larger area of shade than a typical beach umbrella. Because it works with the wind, like a wind vane, you only need to adjust your chair as the sun moves. No need to re-install like a typical umbrella. It's a little pricey but well worth the investment....

Perfect for the beach!! We always struggled with umbrellas on days when the windy was stronger and I was never completely comfortable leaving them up and walking away since it's not uncommon for them to take off down the beach! None of those worries with this shade since it works with the wind and not against it. This shade is so light, sets up easily and quickly and is just as easy to take down and pack up. It doesn't take much breeze to keep the shade up so we never tried the tie outs. We had enough shade for 3 people all day & this shade doesn't block the view in any direction. If we find that we need more room, I'd love to buy another. The shade square does move with the sun throughout the day but that happens with any shade. We didn't have any issues with wind shifting direction but there's a pin that can hold the shade pole in place if necessary. Great build quality and great company to back up the product. Couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.

This is the perfect [SAFER] solution for our (almost always) very windy beach. Super easy to set up and take down. Very light and conveniently sized. We plan on getting a second one! Some people complain about the fact that it moves, but that's a good thing. Even with a (dangerous) umbrella you have to move with the sun. Definitely no threat of being impaired by the pole like a runaway umbrella. If it did come out of the sand it would drop down flat like a lead balloon. Also we have no issue with the flapping sound.

Easy to carry and setup. Setup takes a minute or two. Provides good shade for two people. On windy days I was always nervous when using my beach umbrella (I pictured it being blown into someone). I saw a lot of people using shibumies but they looked hard to setup and maintain with shifting winds. They were too big for my wife and I and there are some people who really hate the noise they make. With the Solbello Shade I sit and relax no matter which direction the wind comes from while I watch shibumies being adjusted throughout the day. More than one shibumi users asked about my Solbello Shade. I used it one season so far and I have had no trouble with it. All components seem very durable. Full disclosure: on days with wind 3 MPH or less I used my beach umbrella.

Good quality. Easy to setup. Used at the Outer Banks last spring(early May). It worked okay about 60% of the time. The tie downs helped but when the wind changes direction, your screwed. This year I’ll gonna buy a Beach Bub Umbrella. I think that will work. I’ll let yall know. Maybe this would work better in the heat of summer.
