An open canopy in a sudden gust is how most patio umbrellas get wrecked. Wrestling fabric down by hand takes too long when the wind has already arrived.

The crank on the post brings the canopy down in a few turns without anyone reaching overhead. The manufacturer's own picture of it carries the advice: close it in strong winds.

Open and close in three steps

This panel walks through it: closed against the post, arm raised, canopy open, with the crank handle in close up. The printed note says to close it in strong winds. With a crank, that takes seconds.

When the beads come on

After dark the LED beads light up along every rib, charged by the panel on top of the arm. A switch turns them on and off. The light falls on the table, not across the neighbour's fence.

Over a courtyard table

Swung over a round table, the canopy covers the chairs as well as the tabletop. The post stands back on the paving. The rotating joint lets you follow the sun without shifting the base.

Closed and out of the way

Wound down, the canopy folds into a narrow column. This is how it should stand whenever the forecast is uncertain, and how it goes into storage for the winter once the fabric is dry.

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 quickly does it close?

A crank on the post winds the canopy down in a few turns, as the manufacturer's step by step image shows. Its own printed advice is to close it in strong winds, so do it before the gusts, not during.

What are the dimensions?

The canopy is 10 feet across. The drawing on this tan listing shows 7.5 feet without saying what it measures. 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.

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.

How should it be stored over winter?

Crank it closed, let the canopy dry completely and keep it somewhere dry. Snow load on an open canopy and damp fabric folded away are the two usual ways an umbrella fails early.
