THROW AWAY YOUR BEACH UMBRELLA (How To Make a Windproof Beach Shade Canopy) || DIY Sun Shade

▼ WHERE TO BUY PARTS TO DIY:
▶ Tent Poles - 20 feet in length (length I used in the video) - https://amzn.to/3CDljzA or https://amzn.to/3exRZTs
▶ Tent Poles - 25 feet in length - https://amzn.to/3sp8VPf
▶ Fabric (No sew) - A king-sized bed sheet works well for this - https://amzn.to/3D1iEkJ
▶ Fabric (Sewing required) If you buy fabric to sew together, use ~1.1oz ripstop polyester, like Silpoly. Do not use Nylon, it will deteriorate in the sun. Use polyester thread for sewing. https://ripstopbytheroll.com/products...
▶ Sand Bag - A dry bag can hold sand, dirt, rocks, or water - https://amzn.to/3rWlX6C
▶ Paracord - to attach the leading edge to the sandbag - https://amzn.to/3EMe1fY

I have some improvements to make it easier to set up and move around, and planned improvements to allow the shade to be used in no wind and reduce the flapping and noise in high winds.
