Steve,I attach 50" brollies to my Penrose frame,it would fly away,but I peg the brolly down if windy,and put my carryall strap around a leg in less windy condition,that is so heavy it's like i'm sitting on it and that's heavy,it isn't moving...

I guess there must be. Just as there's a risk that some will stand on their own rods or poles, impale themselves on hooks, fall in etc.
The much smaller surface area makes it less likely. It is fitted with two cords to tie it down, and I wouldn't wander off and leave it up in a wind.rayner

By the look of it, I reckon I may be able to manage to perform with a 41" brolly, I will investigate further.
The only wind to blow my chair in with me seated would have to be storm force. Once seated I never move.
A brolly of any kind can fly if not tied down.

Glad you got sorted Kev. I personally cannot abide umbrellas, poxy things. I prefer to use a good storm-proof weather suit plus a bait apron with a pocket flap and let the weather do what it likes. Pete.

A brolly attached to the ground by a spike (particularly something like the solid Gardner spiral spike) it is going to be inherently more stable than a brolly attached to a seat box unless you peg every leg of the seat box!
Anyway I’m not switching from a big brolly and I do not own a seatbox!

Many fisheries have concrete or wooden platforms though Steve,the wooden ones could have three feet of water under them,there are many venues where getting a brolly pole in far enough is impossible,in fact two venues I spent most of last season fishing are in that category.

One of the waters I fish the majority of the pegs are made from recycled plastic, there very good too, they’ve a rough finish so not slippery, and won’t rot either, should last indefinitely.
Anyway each peg has a metal tube inserted, closed at the bottom and a collar at the top which is screwed into one the plastic rails, it works well a brolly is a good fit and it’s very stable.

Obviously so. But I'm not posting about what's most stable, or even what's best, but about what for health reasons I can manage to carry, and which gives some benefit without the drawbacks. For the same reasons, I search out the lightest seatboxes - see pic - commensurate with some capacity and comfort; someone pointing out their bigger one can carry more wouldn't really be helping.

I used to use something similar as a bait brolly in the summer. it was one from mothercare that clamped onto prams or pushchairs,
Now I paid out for a hooded Ventalite side tray.
bloody hell,a rich man indeed,wouldn't want to lug your gear,if not for weight,sheer bulk,lol....
