By mid afternoon the shade from a fixed umbrella has drifted off the seats. The usual fix is dragging the loungers or the table after it.

Loosen the lock on the post and the canopy rotates round to wherever the sun has gone. Tilt it down for low light. The furniture and the base stay exactly where they are.

Two loungers on the sand

On a beach setting the canopy covers both loungers from one side, with the base set back in the sand. A caption notes the weighted base is not included. The same arrangement works on any pool deck.

Open, above and closed

Three views: open on its cross base, the round eight panel canopy seen from above, and folded against the post. Closed, the drawing puts it at about 6 feet tall, which is easy to store.

The locking handle up close

Loosen the locking mechanism and move the handle up or down to tilt, or loosen and turn the whole canopy round the post. The close up shows the handle and the knob you work it with.

The fabric in the sun

Out on a lawn the canopy shades two loungers. The icons name what the manufacturer claims for the 180 gsm polyester: water repellent, sun resistant and fade resistant. The inset shows water beading on it.

Loosen the locking mechanism and move the handle up or down. The canopy stops at any angle, not a few set notches.

Loosen the lock, turn the canopy to where the sun is, lock it again. The base stays where it is.

Eight heavy-duty ribs with a triangular brace at the hub hold the 10 foot canopy steady.

Polyester the manufacturer rates as sun protective, fade resistant, water repellent and tear resistant.

A crank opens and closes it; a loop strap keeps the folded canopy tidy.

A vent at the top lets heat and gusts escape through the canopy.

The curved arm reaches over a sectional from behind, so nothing stands among the cushions and the coffee table stays clear for drinks. Tilt it down as the evening sun drops behind the fence.

A cross base on its own lets you park the shade beside two loungers where no table exists to hold a market umbrella. Keep the base on level ground, well back from the water.

The crossed metal base ships without sandbags, which suits anyone reusing weights from an old umbrella or picking a proper base to match their patio and the wind they get.

How do I rotate it?

Loosen the locking mechanism, turn the canopy to where you want the shade, and lock it again. It goes a full 360 degrees and the base does not move.

What does it cover, and how high is it?

A 10 foot canopy covers a round table of about 60 inches or two loungers. The drawing gives 6.5 feet under the canopy and 8 feet to the top of the arm.

Are the sandbags or weights included?

No. A crossed metal base is included and the listing says it needs sandbags or a weighted base, not included, to hold it down. No weight is published, so fill or load it generously: a side post umbrella carries its canopy off centre.

What about wind and winter?

The manufacturer asks you to close it in severe weather. Crank it down, fasten the loop strap and, for winter, let it dry fully before storing it somewhere dry.
