Does the solar cap attach to the torch tightly or does it just rest on the top? I'm afraid that a strong breeze might blow the solar part off.

its secured. Just remember you can't put the solar top back on until the torch is completely cooled. I learned the hardware which is why I'm buying more :-)

It just lays on top of your pool. I have never had an issue with the cover blowing off. I also place my pool floats on top of the cover.

It spins in the wind but if there is no wind the solar power will turn the head every so often. At least thats how mine works.

This is simply a solar cover to heat the water. It sits on top of the water with no ties clip or snaps. It's primary design is not to keep debris out of the pool, but to warm it.

it is triangular and in ech corner has a metal ring.I threaded a very strong cord through each and attached the ends to secure objects like a wall mounted very secure ring. The other two cords are attached to securely embedded garden railings. They need to be secure because it is best to have the cords very tight so the wind dose not fill the coolabar and look like a ship sail and blow away. good luck. have just shifted mine to make the shade in best possible position when sun is at it strongest. 35' C in Greece.

It is a solar blanket, so it uses bubbles similar to bubble wrap to capture the sun's rays and heat the water. These bubbles allow the the cover to float on top of the water. We have had 70mph winds come through and this cover didn't even lift up at a corner!

I figured it out--for MY fan, anyway. The globe is held in place by three "tension clips" that hang down and press outward on the globe, to hold it in place. You have to firmly grasp the globe and wiggle it downward, ensuring you hang on to the thing positively, so you don't drop it. For someone a bit fearful, this might be a two person job, one to grasp the fan housing and hold it steady, the other to pull firmly on the globe and wriggle it free. If you do it once, you'll never forget! I put a flourescent candleabra bulb (it had a double base on it, the wide and the small--and my fan takes the small) and screwed that firmly into the fixture. I was 'just' able to fit the globe back on. It's probably the only thing that doesn't thrill me about this fan--otherwise, I like it.

We had ours out for 2 days and had a windy storm in which the lid flew off. There is no way to properly secure the lid to the sandbox. It may depend on where the sandbox is, or how windy it is, but a rock or brick placed on top of it would be your best bet to keep it secure.

The top cap does come off. There is a lip on it which would make it difficult to attach a hose to and the plastic is not real sturdy. If you were careful you could attach a hose to it.

The cover does not secure very tightly. The straps at the bottom just come together at both ends and cause the cover to narrow a bit at the bottom. I have never had my cover blow off but it is also in a partially protected area on my patio.

Did you pull out the little plastic strip blocking the battery inside the top part of the torch? Once that plastic strip is removed the torch will function on its own, glowing/flickering all night and re-charging in the sunlight all day. I have six of them on my deck. They come on at dusk and burn until about 5 a.m. Love them!

It gets fairly windy at my house and I've never had an issue. I keep the weber cover on it also if that helps.

only solar and it is very lightweight you will need a stand to hold it down in any wind. A table with a hole in it will not hold the umbrella securely. The light is great though, I like it.

On windy days I roll mine up. I don' think the metal holding the top are strong enough to hold up to higher winds. I fastened the frame to my deck rails with tie downs and that solved the problem with the wind. This winter I have kept it rolled up. Later on when the weather gets better, I will unroll it and fasten it to my deck. It makes nice shade in the summer.

If you blow it up tight there's less chance of pulling off. It attaches with a long piece of velcro

Lid seems to just rest in the top, though in the groove. Wind does not seem to blow it off so cover stays on anyway.

Unfortunately, the top does not come off as far as I can tell. When I got back from camping I had left it outside to air out. Once It was out there for a few hours I hit it with the dry vac and then free-breeze. I use a sheet on top of this while camping in order to keep it in the best condition possible. Hope this helps. Cheers.
