Using the Versa-Brella is a breeze. First, find a suitable surface like a golf bag or an outdoor chair. Open the heavy - duty clamp, which can open up to 3.81cm, and attach it firmly to the surface. You can adjust the angle of the umbrella easily with the 4 - way swivel using the two push button hinges. When you're done with your outdoor activity, fold it down and put it in the matching carry bag for convenient transportation. Remember, this Versa - Brella can connect to most surfaces including the side of Sport - Brella chairs, but it's not a replacement for the umbrella that clips into the riveted connector on Sport Brella Chair products. To keep your Versa - Brella in good shape, after each use, make sure it's dry before folding it up. Store it in a cool, dry place. And always keep in mind the included protective eye safety tips when using it.
