Patio tables are mostly rectangles and umbrellas are mostly circles. Put one over the other and the corners and end seats fall outside the shade.

This one is 10 feet by 10 feet with square corners, so the ends of the table are covered as well as the middle. The post stands off to the side, so nothing goes through the table top.

What is in the box

The manufacturer's own caption on this picture is plain: cross base included, weight base not included. The canopy is shown tilted hard over, which is the lowest of its seven positions. Budget for weights before the first windy day.

Poolside, no table needed

Here the canopy covers two loungers on a pool deck. The post stands back on the boards, clear of the water. The canopy edge sits 7.5 feet up, so it shades the loungers without closing in on anyone sitting up.

Turn it with your foot

The pedal is on the cross base. Press it, turn the pole, and the canopy rotates round the post while the base stays loaded. It is the only practical way to move a weighted umbrella on your own.

The colour is in the yarn

The fabric is 240 gsm and yarn-dyed, meaning the colour goes in before weaving. The manufacturer rates it fade resistant and weather resistant. The droplets in this close up show water sitting on the surface.

A thick powder-coated aluminum pole carries eight steel ribs, so the frame resists rust and the canopy keeps its shape.

Step on the pedal at the base and turn the pole. The canopy swings right round while the base stays put.

The arm steps down the post through seven vertical positions, so the canopy can drop into low sun.

The same handle that sets the tilt winds the canopy open and shut, at chest height.

The colour is in the yarn rather than printed on, which is why the manufacturer calls it fade resistant.

The fabric is fixed to the frame with screws, so it cannot creep off the rib tips in a gust.

A vent at the crown lets air escape upward instead of pushing on the whole canopy.

The cross base ships with it. The weights that sit on it are a separate purchase.

Square corners reach the end chairs that a round canopy of the same width leaves in the sun, and nothing rises through the middle of the table top.

It stands on its own cross base, so the shade can go over loungers where no table exists to hold a pole. Keep the post back from the water and on level ground.

Seven tilt steps plus a full circle of rotation are what you need when the worst sun of the day arrives at six, low and straight into your eyes.

Why does the colour look orange in some photos?

The product record says it directly: the brick red canopy reads orange under strong sunlight and brick red in dim light. That is the fabric, not a printing error, so expect it to look brighter at midday than it does in the evening.

Will it cover a rectangular table?

Yes. A 10 by 10 foot square covers a six to eight seat rectangular table including the end chairs. The edge of the canopy sits 7.5 feet above the ground and the pole stands 9 feet, so there is room to walk in under the edge.

Does it come with a weighted base?

No. The cross base is included and the weights that sit on it are not. No base weight is published for this model, so we are not going to invent one. A cantilever hangs its whole canopy off one side of the post, so load it more heavily than you would a centre-pole umbrella of the same width and close it when the wind picks up.

How should it be stored over winter?

Crank it closed, wrap the hook and loop strap round the canopy, let the fabric dry right through and store it dry. Canadian care guides agree the two things that finish an umbrella early are snow load on an open canopy and fabric folded away damp.
