Is this umbrella long enough to cover the sun while attached to a bleacher (high school football stadium)? If so, how well did the clamp hold?

The clamp holds pretty well on this umbrella. However, if you're clamping it on the same bench you're sitting on, it isn't tall enough to cover an adult.

Can't answer about the bleacher, but I love this umbrella! The clamp is very sturdy. I use mine on my sons stroller. It's big enough for me to get some shade while sitting around the local pool, as well as keeping little one out of the shade. It's very adjustable.

It will hold but it is a very cheaply made umbrella it broke after the 2nd use.

It works ok for my 14' offset umbrella, although I added a 40 lbs sand bag on top of it for extra sturdiness (we are in NYC area and it gets a bit windy)

Holds up great to wind. We have it over a pergola. We have had a couple severe thunderstorms come through Virginia with no issues.

Yes, it would fit on a stadium chair, but works best with chairs that have a bar or rail at the top, rather than a solid back. The clamp may not angle properly unless it can grip under a rail. I have sat under mine in light rain, but wouldn't recommend attempting to use it in windy conditions. Maybe slightly too tall for a stadium seat as well.

It holds up pretty well depending on how well you anchor it. No issues with tears or rips after 2 summers and a fair number of storms. We do take it down during winter before major storms, but the adjustable clamps make that a 2-5 minute job.

I think it's excellent at blocking the sun. I'm very satisfied with this umbrella.

I have a 15ft umbrella in it. Holds it beautifully. if you pack the base with bricks like they recommend, it'll pretty much hold any size.

Well The only thing that is rain proof is eather metat or glass,it dose provide shade but the frame is not that strong the clamps bend in a good gust. A nise desing but I think you you would want to but it up and down as needed.

Yes, the umbrella can be attached to the clamp both horizontally and vertically.

Yes, it is sturdy enough, but don't know how it would hold up to the elements for extended periods. We used it along the sidelines and it worked well even on windy days. We used it for high school varsity and it always stayed upright.

I used it to Velcro around chair umbrella, pretty much like a stroller umbrella & it's worked great. (Used them camping the last 2 weekends. No sunburn!) It's not fabric soft, but it is very flexible. My legs & arms brush against it without discomfort. Thanks for the idea... I do have a grandchild on the way ;)

If the balusters are smaller than 2 inches the umbrella mount will clamp to it. I'm not sure if the aluminum can handle the additional weight or wind pressure. I do not have another option.

As long as there is no wind gusts it will be fine. Because it's light it tends to tip over when it's real windy. Personally I prefer the sportbrella... It is larger and provides more shade, but this works okay for two person coverage.

I have been using it for a 10' span deck umbrella in a fairly windy area. It has been able to keep the umbrella steady; I worry more about the railing spindle to which it is attached.

approx. 2 feet. but it is a terrible clamp. it is very flimsy. one bit of wind, and it comes off.

I have one of those screw in anchors. Works great for all day beach stays. The umbrella starts straight up and there's no worries about it moving. I then simply tilt the umbrella to block the sun as it moves. The anchor keeps the umbrella nice and sturdy and especially with wind. I always worry I'll be out in the water when the wind blows and with my luck it would impale someone. :0/ I tie off the guy lines to 2.5lb weights because I'm that anal...but the tie downs and the anchor are sufficient. I'm buying a second one for this summer to tie together and create a 'tent' of sorts....
