Just wanted to see if anyone here has a 10'-13' cantilever umbrella with a weighted base (200-300lb) and how it handles in the wind or gust of winds. We had two 11' Grand Patio umbrellas with the bases weighed down with sand and water (about 250lbs) and the wind still blew them out of place and some gusts of wind actually flipped them over a few times. I don't want to spend $1000+ on an umbrella in the future and always worrying about them being pushed around by the wind. I had a friend who actually had his bolted down on a concrete pad and the wind literally ripped the umbrella fabric and bent the stabilizing ribs. We live in San Antonio. Thanks in advance.
