Ah the triangle...

Easy to move, easy to assemble, isn't going to blow down on you.

Pick two.

We have one with the wheels, and it has tipping points.

We went with cheap-o HD joints, one for the porch table that doesn't fly off but doesn't move, one by the kiddie pool that does fly off, and one crappy Myrtle Beach quality umbrella for shits and giggles and $5.

One of my wife and I's fondest memories is when we were at Coney Island, and she bid me look 180 degrees from the direction I was walking, at a roller coast she hadn't seen before (New Thunderbolt, I think, the orange one).

Well, she was 2 feet away, and not even 90 degrees off said axis. And we'd just purchased a new beach umbrella! ... that was longer than two feet.

Well, physics remains undefeated, and she dropped like a sack of potatoes in full view of about 100 people as the tip of the umbrella caught the side of her face. If she hadn't told me to "turn around, quick!" I wouldn't have had to get her ice for the long F/6 ride home.

She laughs about it still 10 years later. Mostly because a homeless black guy said "YO YOU HIT YOUR WIFE!". Like I said, a LOT of people saw it.
