What are the best methods to anchor stone loungers on sandy beaches?

Anchoring stone loungers on sandy beaches can be challenging due to shifting sands and coastal conditions. Here are the most effective methods to ensure stability:

1. Deep Foundation Anchors: Dig deep holes (at least 2-3 feet) and fill them with concrete or compacted gravel before placing the lounger. This provides a solid base.

2. Helical Ground Anchors: Screw these metal anchors into the sand below the lounger. They grip firmly and resist movement from wind or tides.

3. Weighted Bases: Attach heavy, flat stones or concrete slabs beneath the lounger to increase stability.

4. Sandbags or Geotextile Mats: Bury sandbags or mats around the lounger’s legs to anchor it while blending with the beach.

5. Natural Barriers: Use rocks or driftwood to create a perimeter, reducing sand erosion around the lounger.

For long-term durability, combine these methods and regularly check for shifting. Choose materials resistant to saltwater corrosion for coastal environments.
