can this be used on the beach (low tide, harder sand)? Also, is there a carry strap to fit this since larger sized mat?

The mat is a little tacky and you will never get the sand off of it. You would be better off just being on the sand. I do not know of any strap.

Yes, this can probably be used in harder sand (though, I've never tried). It does not come with a strap; we use bungee cords.

No, it doesn't have a carry strap. I doubt that it would be great on sand, it didn't work for me on carpet.

If sand is soft, nothing rolls well in it! I live in Hawaii :) But it is small enough to carry a short distance if you are capable.

The bag is mesh, so it probably couldn't hold sand. You could try to find a tighter mesh bag.

No we wouldn't recommend using it at the beach. It doesn't have stakes to anchor into the ground. Half of the top is mesh so not enough sun protection provided. Hope that helps u

No, but pretty heavy duty & it does make it a lot easier to carry, like to the beach.

Hi. It should work quite well on sand. In fact, the beach is where you may find all sorts of metal keys, coins, etc.

Not real sure havent used it on he beach yet. I think it will with the proper stakes to hold it down and with some items inside it.

We use this mat to stand on and walk on. It has held it's shape under heavy use in this capacity for several months. We do not put objects on it so do not know if it will hold up under the weight.

As far as I can remember, it just came rolled up, probably in a plastic bag. I know there are mat carriers, or a short velcro strap of some kind should work fine. Heck, a shoelace would work.

I really haven't tried it on the beach, but the cross bar that helps keep it from sinking into the grass should be of some use to stabilize the chair.We really love ours. For an older person they are very easy to get out of because of their height.

Yes. I haven't used it at the beach, but sand should filter right out of the bag.

We haven't tried it on the beach, only on paved/hard packed surfaces. I think you would need bigger, softer tires for the beach, depending on how much weight you were planning to put in it... :)

Randy, the beach is the sole reason why I bought this unit. I really like how it works. You'll need to ground balance when you move closer to the water or you'll get bad readings. So I work above the surf and then ground balance again and move it the surf (water). Perfect for what you want.

Love this chair on our deck, it would certainly work on a beach but due to it's size... I hope you have a "muscle beach type" to lug it back and forth to the car... it's oversize nature makes it a bit of a beast to carry around.

You can go to any MMA or Boxing supply place and buy one of their anchor bags. They are better made and sand seems to work better than water.

Not too bad actually, so long as you have a helper holding open the bag and practice folding it up in the back yard before going to the windy beach! Also, bring plastic bags to fill with sand and put into the pockets in the sides, helps in strong winds

If you had all the sandbags full and maybe use the stakes as well it would be ok... We used this on Myrtle Beach with just the sandbags and sand around the bottom floor without any problems. We didn't use the stakes on the beach - it has a bottom that holds your stuff also that helps to hold it down..
