A dining table has a centre opening. A sectional, a day bed and a pair of loungers do not, and standing a floor base in the middle of them ruins the point of the furniture.

The post stands behind the seating on its 40 inch cross frame with 220 lb of plates on it, and the braced arm carries a hundred square feet of canopy over the whole group. Nothing touches the furniture, and the foot pedal turns the canopy as the sun moves round.

Over loungers, from the side

Two loungers under a square canopy with the post standing off on the paving. There is nothing between the chairs, no stand to walk around and no pole to lie next to. This is the arrangement a market umbrella cannot produce at any price.

And over a corner sofa

Same idea with a sectional. A hundred square feet of canopy reaches across the whole seating group with the post behind it. The rim sits 6.6 feet off the ground and the crown 9 feet, so it feels like a roof over the sofa rather than a distant sheet.

Following the sun round the group

Because there is no furniture holding the umbrella up, the canopy can go anywhere within reach of the arm. Step on the pedal, hold the post, swing it. With 220 lb of plates on the frame the base has no intention of moving, and it does not need to.

The gap at the top

The vent at the crown is the small detail that keeps a big canopy steady. Air pushing up underneath escapes through the gap rather than lifting the whole cover. The manufacturer describes the polyester itself as sun protective, wear resistant and water resistant.

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

• Every specification on this page was read off the manufacturer's own drawings and detail images, because the listing text carried none.
• No UPF rating and no wind speed rating are published, so neither is claimed.
• 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.

Will it cover a sectional or two loungers?

Yes to both. The canopy is a full 10 feet by 10 feet, a hundred square feet with corners, which reaches across a corner sofa or a pair of loungers with a table between them. The rim is 6.6 feet above the ground, high enough to sit up under and low enough to block a late sun.

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.

Does the canopy tilt as well as turn?

Rotation is what this model publishes: a full 360 degrees on the foot pedal. No tilt angle appears anywhere in the record, so we are not claiming one. If a tilting canopy is what you need, other cantilevers in this range list six tilt settings.

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.
