Hello, does anyone have any ideas about how to secure a parasol on site? It needs to be lightweight and suitable for hard standing. Thank you

I have just bought one of the plastic ones that you fill with water. It cost less than £10 and is quite weighty when filled😊

Ditto here.  Just fill it when you arrive and then empty it when leaving.  Works well for a fairly lightweight parasol.

I have a ground stake which I just hammer into the ground to mount the parasol in. Takes up no room at all. I have had it years so cannot remember where I got it from. Just google "parasol ground stake" and take your pick. Mine looks a bit like >this<

Fill it with water type for me, but I find they need replacing every few years due to springing a leak as the blow moulded plastic can be very thin in places. You can usually find them in diy sheds/supermarkets for about £6 at the end of season so I usually buy a spare.
