10 FT Solar LED Offset Cantilever Patio Umbrella Hanging Outdoor Market Umbrella-Navy

On a market umbrella the pole goes straight through the table top. The centre of the table is gone, the person opposite is talking around it, and you cannot move the shade because the table is holding the pole.

Here the post stands on the paving beside the seating and a curved arm hangs the canopy over the top. All 78 square feet of shade fall on open ground. Release the locking collar and the canopy swings a full circle, so the shade follows the sun while the table stays exactly where you put it.

Three views of the same umbrella

The opening image gives you the whole thing at once: open on its cross base, looked at from above so you can count the panels, and folded shut against the post. The curved arm is the part to notice. It lifts off the post and reaches out, which is how the canopy ends up over the seats and not over the base.

A full table, lit, at night

Over a long table laid for six, the canopy covers the whole run of it and the post sits off the end where nobody is sitting. The LED beads light the plates from directly overhead. There is no cable in this picture because the panel on the arm charges the lights during the day.

How the shade follows the sun

The rotation is a two handed job and takes a few seconds. Release the locking collar on the post, hold the post and turn the canopy to where the light has gone, then lock it again. Because the base stays planted, you are not lifting a loaded stand or dragging the furniture around.

Eight ribs from one hub

From underneath, eight heavy metal ribs run out from the hub to the rim. That count matters on a canopy this wide, because the ribs are what keep 10 feet of fabric from flexing and slapping on a windy afternoon. The pole below them measures 1.9 inches across.

A 10 foot canopy throws roughly 78 sq ft of cover, enough for a six seat table or a pair of loungers, with none of it lost to a centre pole.

Release the locking collar on the post, swing the canopy where the sun has gone, and lock it again. The base never moves.

Beads run along every rib, fed by a panel on the arm. A switch on the post turns them on, so nothing is wired and nothing trails.

Eight ribs carry the canopy on a 1.9 inch metal pole, the pair of figures that decide whether a big cover holds its shape.

The vent at the top of the canopy lets a gust pass up through the fabric rather than shoving the whole umbrella.

The cross frame is 36 inches square and takes four bags of 23.5 by 8 by 4 inches, filled on site with sand or gravel.

Wind it open, wind it shut, then strap the folded canopy so it is not flapping against the post all week.

The rim sits 6.2 feet up and the crown 8 feet, so people pass under the middle easily and duck slightly at the edge.

If your table has no hole in the middle, this is the style that shades it. The post parks on the paving beside the chairs.

Two loungers fit under 78 square feet of cover with room to spare, and the post stays well out of the walkway.

Thirty two LED beads charged by the day's sun keep the table lit long after the barbecue is off, with no cord run out.

What we stand behind

• Heights and base dimensions were read off the product's own dimension drawing, not estimated.
• The manufacturer describes the fabric as sun protective, drizzle resistant and tear resistant. No UPF number is published, so none is quoted.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

How much does it actually cover, and how much headroom is there?

The canopy measures 10 feet across and the description puts the shade at about 78 square feet, which covers a six seat table or two loungers side by side. Height is the part people forget: the rim sits 6.2 feet off the ground and the crown 8 feet. That is fine to walk under near the middle, but a tall guest will feel the edge, so place the post where people are not passing by the rim.

Does a base come with it?

The manufacturer's dimension drawing lists the 36 inch cross frame and four fillable weight bags of 23.5 by 8 by 4 inches as part of the product, and the same base appears under the umbrella in every photograph. The listing text does not spell it out in words, so if the base is the deciding factor for your order, check with us before you buy. Fill the bags on site with sand or gravel; they are far easier to carry empty.

Can I turn the canopy without moving the base?

Yes, that is the point of it. Release the locking collar on the post, turn the canopy to where you want it and lock it again. The base, and whatever furniture is under the canopy, stays put.

What is the right way to store it over winter?

Crank it closed, wrap the fixing strap round the folded canopy and let the fabric dry right through first. Canadian care guides are consistent that snow load bends ribs and trapped damp starts mildew, so an umbrella packed away wet is the one that does not survive the season.
