G, thanks for that idea, mine fits down in there but as said not that far, does the tie downs come in the bag with the brella ?? I cant find my bag so was wandering if that might be where the tie downs are ?

G, can you post a picture of what you have setup here on this "D" ring thingy ? I cant visualize it so gotta have pictures LOL

Yes tie downs come with the Sportsbrella but like I said.....I have a safety chain and do not need the tie downs.

I like the safety chain setup better than the tiedowns (or I think I would) since I already have trouble dealing with the long rods and the brella LOL
