Don’t worry about hitting your toes, since sandbags are softer and gentler on your feet than stone or concrete, even when fully filled with sand. Forget about struggling with heavy and bulky umbrella bases – IGGÖN is easy to bring home, install and move thanks to the practical handles on each bag. The sandbags are made from 90% recycled polyester, a durable and waterproof textile that resists mold and dirt. Tilt function provides protection from the sun all day long. You open, close or tilt the umbrella by using the discreet handle. It’s easy to keep the canopy clean and fresh since you can easily remove and machine wash it. The air vent reduces wind pressure and allows heat to circulate. The dope-dyeing process reduces consumption of water and dye while improving color fastness compared to traditional dyeing techniques. The fabric gives excellent protection against the sun’s UV rays as it has a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating of 50+, which means it blocks 98% of the ultraviolet radiation. The umbrella pole is made of aluminum which means it won’t rust. The strap with buckle keeps the fabric in place when folded.
