Patio Umbrellas

I have this umbrella on our west facing back patio and purchased it specifically for the tilt feature. The rotational tilt is great - simply turn the umbrella top clockwise to block the sun. Love the pulley feature - makes it easy to open and the brass at the bottom of the pole should extend the life of the umbrella in wet conditions. I chose the navy sunacrylic fabric and it seems like a quality fabric so far- great color and thickness. No need to pay extra for Sunbrella, I think. I'm using it with a 60 lb stand and it's very stable unless a high wind hits it while it's tilted then it's just like a sail and becomes unsteady, but that's to be expected. Can't give it 5 stars because I don't know how well it will wear yet, but it looks and performs wonderfully so far. I would recommend this umbrella."..."  Read more

We are very pleased with this umbrella. The fabric/pole colors we picked look even better than we had hoped. The material (Sunbrella) is thick, sheds water like the provebial duck's back, and provides the perfect amount of shade. The umbrella operates smoothly and the sewn in tie was an added bonus that keeps the umbrella protected from wind when not in use. I would rate this umbrella a 10 out of 10."..."  Read more

Our first one had a dented pole, but wattage fixed the problem, and the umbrella is great. Largevand works well. Lights run on power outlet only, so that makes placement a concern. Wish there were a battery option."..."  Read more

These umbrellas are of a really good quality and they cover most of the rectangle deck area because of their oval shape. They look gorgeous and keep us cool on our west-facing deck."
