Use your foot to brush away the top 2 or 3 inches of dry powdery sand prior to setup

Use the Sand Gopher to quickly and easily make a hole for the umbrella pole

Fill the base all the way up until you can bounce a nickle off the sides

Keep sand out of the connection point between the upper and lower poles to avoid the poles getting stuck together

When you're taking down the umbrella system, wiggle the pole around to release the grommets, but be careful not to bend the bottom pole

After taking down the umbrella system, insert the hitch pin back into the hole at the top of the bottom pole before storing it away in the carry bag
