Final analysis: If price and ease of use are most important, then PortaBrella® might be the right choice for you. However, if you’re like us and you’d prefer extra shade, the strongest beach umbrella frame on the market and you don’t mind the set up, then TeleBrella® would be a good fit. Tip: we found in testing that the simplest way to use TeleBrella® is to assemble your umbrella in your room and use the included 4′ carry bag for the walk to your shady spot. This cuts down on a few minutes of installation at the beach, although we did draw a crowd as folks came to ask what we had and where they could get one.
