A standard umbrella runs its pole through the middle of the table. The middle is lost, guests talk round it, and the shade cannot move without moving the table.

The curved arm carries the canopy over the table from a post standing beside it. The whole top is clear, and the rotating joint swings the shade round when the sun moves.

The shape of it

Side on, you see how it works: a post on one side, a curved arm arching over, and the 10 foot canopy hanging from the end. The small dots along each rib are the LED beads. The cross base at the bottom is the part that ships in the box.

Over a table for four

In a courtyard the arm swings the canopy over a round table and all four chairs. Nothing rises through the tablecloth, and the post stands on the paving a step back from the nearest chair.

After sunset

At night the beads trace each rib and throw a soft light down onto the table. The charge comes from the panel on the arm during the day. A manual switch turns them on, so they are not burning away while you are indoors.

Leaning it into the light

The ghosted canopies show the range of the tilt, worked from the adjuster on the post. Drop the canopy on the sunny side in the late afternoon. The same image carries weather icons; the manufacturer's next picture still says to close it in strong wind, and that is the advice to follow.

LED beads run along each rib and charge from a small panel on top of the arm. A switch turns them on, no cord needed.

The canopy hangs from a curved arm, so the post stands beside the seating instead of through it.

A rotating joint on the post lets the canopy swing right round to follow the sun.

A separate adjuster on the post leans the canopy down on one side against low light.

A crank handle raises and lowers the canopy without reaching overhead.

Eight rustproof steel ribs on a powder-coated aluminum pole hold the 10 foot canopy open.

The canopy hangs over from the side, so a table without an umbrella hole is no problem at all. Stone, glass and teak tops stay exactly as they are, with nothing drilled.

The lights along the ribs charge by day, so the table stays usable after sunset without an extension cord running across the paving or through a door left open.

It ships with a cross base but no weights, which suits someone reusing weights from an old umbrella or buying a proper cantilever base separately.

What we stand behind

• The LED count is withheld because the listing gives two different numbers.
• Every height quoted is taken from a dimension drawing, and we say which one.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

How big is the shade, and how high does it sit?

The canopy is 10 feet across. The drawing supplied with this beige listing shows a height of 7.5 feet without marking what it is measured to. The fuller drawing for the blue and turquoise versions of the same frame puts the rim at 6.72 feet and the top at 8.03 feet, which is the safer figure to plan headroom around.

How many lights are there?

The listing gives two different numbers, 32 in the lighting paragraph and 24 in its own specification list, so we are not quoting either. What is confirmed is the setup: beads along each rib, a panel on top of the arm and a manual switch.

Is a weighted base included?

No. The cross base comes with it and the weights do not. A side post umbrella carries its canopy off centre, so it needs noticeably more ballast than a centre-pole umbrella of the same width. No base weight is published for this model.

What should I do in strong wind and over winter?

The manufacturer's own image says to close it in strong winds, so crank it shut when a front comes through. For winter, let the canopy dry right through and store it dry, since damp fabric packed away is what starts mildew.
