    Beach Lovers Attention! You Should Have U-Stand For Your Next Beach Trip

    Fill your U-Stand with weight (sand, water, ice and drinks), insert any umbrella, and enjoy stress free shade. Tired of sandy drinks? The U-Stand features a two-piece table top with 4 full size upholders! Also tired of digging holes for your umbrella, only for it to go flying down the beach with one gust of wind? Don’t worry, U-Stand got you covered.

    This multi-purpose, portable umbrella stand was originally made for the beach but let’s be honest, the possibilities are endless with the UStand! It comes fully equipped with a storage base for all your beach or pool gear and an umbrella stand to help you soak up the sun without getting burnt!

    U-Stand “Shade Anywhere” is a “patent pending”, portable bucket with a tube that runs through its center and opens up at the top. It is engineered to be highly portable, incredibly lightweight, and rugged enough to withstand the abuse of everyday use.

    The empty U-Stand can be easily taken to the beach, filled up with sand, and set up with a beach umbrella. Imagine a bucket full of beach sand incessantly preventing your umbrella from taking off. That’s U-Stand for you. Filling it up with sand sounds too much of work? Fill it up with water. You can even bring ice in it from home.


    The intelligently designed bucket stand offers a flat tabletop with cupholders on top of it for convenience. It’s the ultimate beach accessory.

    How It Works:

    STEP 1 – Fill up the U-Stand with beach gear, attach the lids.

    STEP 2 – Carry the U-Stand with shoulder strap to your destination.

    STEP 3 – Empty your beach gear.

    STEP 4 – Fill the U-Stand with something heavy, Sand (90lbs), Water (60lbs), Ice & Drinks (50lbs).
    Warning: The U-Stand is designed to support your beach umbrella. The U-Stand must be filled with weight. DO NOT PUT UMBRELLA IN WITHOUT WEIGHT! 

    STEP 5 – Attach lids to the top

    STEP 6 – Insert beach umbrella pole through center tube and push into sand at least 6 inches.

    STEP 7 – Tighten set screw to secure the U-Stand to the beach umbrella pole.

    STEP 8 – Open beach umbrella. SIT BACK AND RELAX -ENJOY THE SHADE 

     

    Where can you use the U-Stand?

    • Use it at the beach
    • Backyard
    • Outdoor Concert
    • Sporting Events
    • Lake

    When used correctly the U-Stand has been proven an effective way to reduce fly-away umbrellas. Use caution when winds are gusting and close your umbrella when the conditions are too strong. IMPORTANT: Always fill your U-Stand completely with heavy weight (Sand, Water, Rocks) when winds are strong.

    If you are doing holiday shopping lately. You should totally add U-Stand into your shopping list. As social distancing is still required, going to beach is the activity we always do in South California. Enjoy the beach time and feeling the warm sunshine. U-Stand solves a lot of “beach problems” in an easy way. If you are having a tropical Christmas this year, this is also a cool tool you should carry with you.

    Enrich your pet’s life and keep their food secure

    With obesity being one of the major contributors to onset diabetes and in honor of November being National Diabetes Awareness Month, Sure Petcare is offering a viable solution for maintaining a pet healthy weight. Both the SureFeed® Microchip Pet Feeder Connect and SureFeed® Microchip Pet Feeder are designed to control access to food helping to ensure a pet’s healthy weight.
    The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention estimates that nearly 54 percent of cats and dogs in the United States are obese which can lead to a number of health problems, including diabetes. One way to help maintain a healthy weight is to control the amount that a pet eats by using a SureFeed® Microchip Pet Feeder or the SureFeed® Microchip Pet Feeder Connect.

    Feeding multiple pets needn’t be a nightmare. Make sure pets on prescription or life-stage diets have exclusive access to their food and stop greedy pets stealing food. Give each pet a Microchip Pet Feeder so that everyone can lead a healthier lifestyle.

     
    The Microchip Pet Feeder (MSRP $149.99)
    Designed for multi-pet homes, this feeder uses a pet’s embedded microchip or the included RFID collar tag to control access to the food bowl. When a pet approaches the feeder it recognizes the pre-programmed, authorized chip or collar tag and opens the bowl to allow feeding.
    This prevents other pets,  ie. the fat one, from stealing food and also ensures that prescription food is consumed by the right pet. It is suitable for both wet and dry food and the sealed bowl keeps food fresher and free of flies. The feeder will operate for up to six months on four “C” batteries and includes a three year warranty.
    Features:
    • Designed for multi-pet homes to stop pets stealing each others’ food
    • Great for pets on weight management diets
    • Works with the SureFlap RFID collar tag (one tag included)

    • Ensures that prescription food is consumed by the right pet
    • Compatible with all identification microchips worldwide & SureFlap RFID collar tags
    • Suitable for both wet and dry food. Bowl capacity 400 ml or two pouches of wet food
    • 6 months battery life (4 x C cell batteries -– not included). A low battery indicator will flash when the batteries need changing
    • Stores up to 32 pet identities in memory. Remembers all registered pets even when the batteries are removed
    • Colourful bowls and mats available to purchase separately (1 x grey bowl, 1 x grey split bowl, 1 x grey mat included)
    • 3-year warranty
    The Microchip Pet Feeder Connect (MSRP $253 w/Hub)
    The SureFeed® Microchip Pet Feeder Connect uses the same microchip or collar tag to control access to food and goes further by connecting to the Sure Petcare smart phone app via the feeder’s Wi-Fi connection to the optional Hub connected to a home router and the internet. This feeder is the ideal solution for overweight catscats with medical conditions that require close monitoring of feeding or multi-pet homes. 
    Using the app owners can access multiple pet feeding profiles and view frequency, duration and times. The app provides a record of normal feeding patterns for each pet and will allow owners to notice changes in behavior that could be an indicator of illness. Use the app to set portion size and the feeders integrated scale uses an LED indicator to measure the exact amount to within one gram of accuracy. The feeder will operate for up to six months on four “C” batteries and includes a three year warranty.
    • Connects to the Sure Petcare app (REQUIRES HUB, SOLD SEPARATELY)
    • The Feeder connects to the Sure Petcare app via the hub (sold separately). you set the portion size within the app and then when you fill your pet’s bowl, LEDs guide you to the correct portion weight within 1 g of accuracy.
    • Accurately weigh your pet’s food using the integrated scales. Notice changes in your pet’s feeding which could indicate illness.
    • GREAT FOR PETS ON PRESCRIPTION DIETS: Holds 13.5 fl. oz, wet or dry pet food. The lid closes to form a seal with the neoprene lip, helping to retain moisture and to keep food fresh.
    • Microchip operated – stops pets stealing each others’ food (Uses pet’s ID microchip or RFID Collar tag available from Sure Petcare)

    The lid opens when a registered pet approaches
    Your pet can access their food at any time without the fear of it being stolen

    The lid remains closed for unauthorised pets
    All your pets can now live healthier lifestyles

    Introduce movement to the lid gradually
    The training mode helps pets get used to the feeder in their own time

    About Sure Petcare:

    Sure Petcare® became the new company name for SureFlap® in 2017, to reflect the future strategy to expand their range of connected products. The SureFlap, SureFeed® and SureSense® product brands remain and play an important part of the company’s heritage and continued success.

    After experiencing first-hand the unpleasant consequences of unwanted neighbourhood cats entering his home through the cat flap and terrorising his cat Flipper, Dr Nick Hill – a Cambridge physicist – set out to find a solution.

    He knew he didn’t want Flipper to wear a collar, so he developed a revolutionary technology that uses a cat’s existing microchip like an electronic door key, giving Flipper exclusive access to his home and leaving intruder animals at the door. After three years of intensive research and development, the Sureflap brand was born.

    Using the microchip reading technology from the pet door range, Sure Petcare developed an exciting new product which revolutionised feeding in multi-pet households. The SureFeed® Microchip Pet Feeder ensures that food is only eaten by the correct animal and is ideal for pets on weight management or prescription diets, or simply to keep a greedy pet away from his housemate’s food.

    The Sealed Pet Bowl, with its motion-activated lid, was added to the range in 2015, to keep food fresher and insect-free.
