A big offset umbrella needs 200 lb or so of ballast to be safe. On most listings that is a separate line item, a second delivery of something heavy, and an umbrella you cannot open in the meantime.

This version includes a four piece base of 212 lb on a 40 inch cross frame, stated on the manufacturer's own drawing, and builds the solar lighting into the ribs. Assemble it, load the plates, and there is nothing else to buy before the first sunny weekend.

Umbrella and ballast together

The four dark plates around the foot of the post are the base that comes with it, not an accessory photographed alongside. Above them the aluminum column carries a braced arm and a 10 foot round canopy. On the right is the shape it folds into once the crank brings it down.

Round canopy, round table

Over a round table a round canopy wastes nothing at the corners, and with the post standing outside the group the table top stays clear. The beads along the ribs light the plates from above. Size guides pair a 10 foot cover with a table near 60 inches and about six seats.

Six angles, then a full circle

The ghosted canopies show six tilt positions stepping down one after another. Underneath, the pedal graphic shows the other control: press it and the whole canopy swings around the post. With 212 lb of plates on the frame, moving the shade any other way is not happening.

The three parts that carry it

This panel names them: eight heavy metal ribs from the hub, a stout aluminum column, and the crossed metal base at the foot. A cantilever lives or dies on those three, because the whole canopy load is hanging off to one side of the post.

Four plates of 20 by 20 by 3 inches on a 40 inch cross frame, put at 212 lb on the manufacturer's drawing.

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

The arm steps through six settings, so the canopy can lean into a low sun and stay where you leave it.

Step on the pedal, hold the post, turn. Two hundred pounds of base stays planted while the shade moves.

Eight metal ribs carry the 10 foot canopy from the hub, keeping the fabric taut instead of loose at the rim.

A stout aluminum column with a triangular brace behind the arm, which is what stops a long overhang nodding.

The vent lets air climb out through the top of the canopy rather than pushing against the whole underside.

Wind it open or shut from waist height, then strap the folded canopy so it sits tidy against the post.

A round canopy over a round table wastes nothing, and with the post outside the group the table top stays clear.

Base and lighting are both part of the product, so there is no second order and no waiting to use it.

Thirty five beads and a bright central light run about 6 to 8 hours off the day's charge, with nothing plugged in.

What we stand behind

• The base is stated as included on the manufacturer's own dimension drawing, with its weight and plate sizes printed there.
• Rib count, LED count and runtime are the manufacturer's published figures and agree across its text and images here.
• 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.

Does the base come with it?

Yes. The manufacturer's dimension drawing states a four piece base is included for secure anchoring and puts it at 212 lb, with plates measuring 20 by 20 by 3 inches sitting on a 40 inch cross frame. The product title rounds that figure to 220 lb, so the two numbers in the record differ slightly. 212 lb is the figure printed on the drawing and it is the one we publish.

What size table does the canopy suit, and how much headroom is there?

The canopy is 10 feet across, which outdoor furniture guides pair with a round table of roughly 60 inches and about six chairs, leaving a margin of fabric past the table edge so the seats stay shaded as the sun moves. Underneath, the rim sits 6.4 feet off the ground and the crown 8.4 feet, so you walk under the middle easily and meet the edge at about head height.

How long does the lighting run?

Roughly 6 to 8 hours from a full day's charge, which is the manufacturer's figure. There are 35 beads along the ribs plus a brighter light at the hub, controlled by a switch on the post.

What is the winter routine?

Crank it closed, put the fixing strap round the folded canopy, let the fabric dry right through and store it dry. The manufacturer's own note on the dimension drawing asks you to close the umbrella in severe weather, and Canadian care guides add the rest: snow load bends ribs, and damp fabric folded away grows mildew.
