10 FT Aluminum Pole Patio Cantilever Umbrella with 220 LBS Base-Brown

Hang a hundred square feet of fabric off one side of a narrow pole and the whole thing moves in every gust. It creaks, it sways over the table, and after a season the joint at the top has worked loose.

This frame answers it in three places. The aluminum post runs up to 3.3 inches wide, a diagonal strut turns the arm and post into a rigid triangle, and four weight plates on the cross frame take the base system to 220 lb. The vent at the crown lets gusts pass through instead of shoving.

Built heavy on purpose

Look at the proportions here rather than the colour. The post is noticeably thicker than a market umbrella pole, the plates around its foot are solid blocks rather than a token disc, and the canopy above is a full square. Folded, it draws in tight against the post.

How it sits over a sofa group

On a terrace the canopy covers a corner sofa and its table with the post standing behind the seating. Underneath, the rim is 6.6 feet off the ground and the crown 9 feet, so people sitting are well under it and anyone standing at the edge will duck slightly.

The triangle you are paying for

This panel is the structural argument. The aluminum column is called out at up to 3.3 inches wide, and the green triangle marks the brace tying the arm back to the post. A long overhang held as a triangle is stiff; the same overhang held as an L is not.

Turning 220 lb worth of umbrella

Once four weight plates are on the frame nobody is dragging this anywhere, which is exactly why the rotation matters. Step on the pedal at the foot of the post, hold the post and swing the canopy round. The base stays where you set it up on day one.

The post measures up to 3.3 inches across, which is what stops a long overhang nodding every time the wind moves.

A hundred square feet with real corners, so a rectangular table gets its end seats covered, not just its middle.

Eight metal ribs spread the canopy from the hub, holding the fabric taut right out to the corners.

Step on the pedal, hold the post and turn. The canopy follows the sun while the loaded base stays put.

A 40 inch cross frame carries four weight plates, five inches thick, for a rated total of 220 lb.

The crank raises and lowers the canopy, and a fixing strap holds it neat once it is down.

The vent lets air climb out through the top instead of pressing up against a hundred square feet of fabric.

A diagonal strut ties the arm back to the post, turning a long cantilever into a rigid triangle.

A 3.3 inch aluminum post on a 220 lb base is a different proposition from a light umbrella on a token stand.

Square corners put shade on the end seats, which is exactly where a round canopy of the same width runs out.

The cross frame and its four weight plates are part of the system rather than an afterthought bought later.

What we stand behind

• The 3.3 inch pole width and the triangular brace come from the manufacturer's own structure panel.
• Canopy size, heights and the base rating were read off the product's dimension drawing.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

What makes this different from a cheaper cantilever?

Three measured things. The aluminum pole is called out at up to 3.3 inches wide against the narrower posts common lower down the range, the arm is braced back to the post as a triangle, and the base system is rated 220 lb rather than 90 lb. All three are about the same thing: stopping a big canopy from moving.

How much does it cover and how high is the rim?

The canopy is 10 feet by 10 feet, a hundred square feet with corners, which takes a six to eight seat rectangular table or a corner sofa. The rim sits 6.6 feet above the ground and the crown 9 feet. That is comfortable for anyone seated, and about head height at the outer edge.

Is the weighted base included?

The product title lists a 220 lb base, and the four weight plates sit on the cross frame in every photograph including the dimension drawing. The caption on that drawing is worded as an instruction rather than a statement, so if the base is the deciding factor for your order, confirm it with us before you buy. Either way, 220 lb is the figure this frame is built around and it is what we would load it to.

How does it get put away for winter?

Crank it closed, wrap the fixing strap around the folded canopy, let the fabric dry completely and store it dry. Canadian care guides are consistent about the two things that end a patio umbrella early: snow load on an open canopy, and damp fabric folded away for months.
