A dining table has a hole in the middle for a pole. A sectional, a day bed or a pair of loungers has nothing, and a floor stand planted among the cushions defeats the point of the furniture.

The post stands behind the seating on a 40 inch cross frame with plates holding up to 220 lb, and the braced arm carries a hundred square feet of canopy across the whole group. Nothing touches the furniture, and the foot pedal turns the shade as the sun goes round.

All the weight on one side

Post, plates and arm on the left, a hundred square feet of red canopy on the right. That imbalance is deliberate and it is why the base plates matter. The top down view shows a genuine square with LED strips running out to each corner.

Over the sofa, not through it

The canopy reaches right across a corner sofa with the post standing behind the cushions. Nobody is sitting against a pole and nothing blocks the coffee table. After dark the beads along the ribs and the hub light take over, for roughly 6 to 8 hours.

It works over a table too

Swing it round and the same canopy covers a dining table, end chairs included, because the corners are square. The rim sits 7 feet above the ground and the crown 8.6 feet, which is the most generous headroom of anything in this range.

Six tilt steps, one full circle

The ghosted canopies are the six tilt positions, each held by a push button lock. The insets show the pedal that releases the rotation. Tilt for low sun, rotate to move the shade somewhere else entirely, and the loaded base never shifts.

A hundred square feet with real corners, which is what puts shade on the end seats of a rectangular table.

The rim clears 7 ft and the crown 8.6 ft, so walking in under the edge does not involve ducking.

Beads follow the ribs with a brighter light at the hub, rated at roughly 6 to 8 hours from a full charge.

Press the button, lean the canopy, release. It holds at the setting you chose instead of easing back.

Step on the pedal and turn the canopy a full circle around the post. The filled base stays exactly where it is.

Four fillable plates sit on a 40 inch cross frame, with a stated capacity of up to 220 lb between them.

Eight ribs spread the canopy from the hub out to the corners, which is what keeps a big square cover taut.

The gap between the two layers lets a gust climb out of the canopy rather than lifting the whole of it.

Found it cheaper at a Canadian retailer? Send us the link and we will match that price. It has to be the same item, in stock, sold and shipped inside Canada, and compared like for like on what comes in the box.

Square corners cover the end chairs, which is exactly where a round canopy of the same width gives up.

The base plates and the lighting are part of the product rather than two more things to order afterwards.

Thirty two beads and a centre light give roughly 6 to 8 hours off a day's charge, with nothing plugged in.

What we stand behind

• Rib count, LED count and runtime are the manufacturer's own published figures and agree across text and images on this model.
• Canopy size, heights and base dimensions come from this product's dimension drawing.
• 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 a pair of loungers?

Yes. A hundred square feet of canopy at 10 feet by 10 feet reaches across a full corner group with the post standing behind rather than among the seating. The rim is 7 feet up, so people can stand under the edge without meeting it.

What holds it down?

A 40 inch square cross frame with four plates that sit around the post, five inches thick, with a stated filling capacity of up to 220 lb. Fill them on site rather than trying to move them loaded. That is a lot of ballast next to a centre-pole umbrella of the same width, and it is what a cantilever needs, because the canopy hangs entirely to one side of the post.

Are the lights bright enough to eat by?

There are 32 beads along the ribs plus a brighter light at the hub, all pointing down. No lumen figure is published anywhere in the record, so we will not invent one. The published figure is the runtime: about 6 to 8 hours from a full day's charge.

What should I do with it over winter?

Crank it closed, let the canopy dry right through and store it somewhere dry with the post wiped down. Canadian umbrella care guides keep returning to the same two failures: snow load on an open canopy, and fabric folded away while it is still damp.
