Dining tables have a hole in the middle. Sectionals, day beds and outdoor sofas do not, and a floor stand planted in the middle of the seating is worse than sitting in the sun.

The post stands behind the furniture on its own cross base and the braced arm carries a hundred square feet of canopy over the whole group. Nothing touches the seating. Six tilt settings and a foot pedal for rotation move the shade as the afternoon goes on.

The shape of the thing

Red canopy, black frame, and the whole structure gathered on one side. The top down view shows a true square with LED strips running to each corner. The folded view on the right is the shape it takes when the crank brings it down against the post.

The evening it is built for

Beads down every rib and a brighter light at the hub, all charged by the panel on the arm. The manufacturer rates it at roughly 6 to 8 hours from a full day. One button on the post turns it on, so the lights are running when you are outside and off when you are not.

Ten feet, corner to corner

Over a rectangular table the square canopy covers the end seats that a round one would leave out. A hundred square feet of shade, sitting 7 feet clear at the rim and 8.6 feet at the crown, which is enough headroom to walk under the edge without ducking.

A vent instead of a solid top

The crown is a smaller square raised over an opening in the main canopy. Air pushing up from below escapes there rather than lifting the whole cover. On a hundred square feet of fabric that gap is the difference between a steady umbrella and a twitchy one.

A hundred square feet of cover with actual corners, which is what a rectangular dining table needs.

The rim sits 7 ft off the ground, the most generous clearance in this range, so nobody ducks at the edge.

Press the button, lean the canopy, let go. It locks at the setting you chose rather than drifting back.

Step on the pedal and swing the canopy a full circle around the post. The loaded base never moves.

Beads run the ribs and a brighter light sits at the hub. About 6 to 8 hours after a full day of charging.

A gap between the two layers lets air climb out of the canopy instead of pressing up against all of it.

The lights are on a switch, not a sensor, so they run when you are outside rather than all night.

A 40 inch square cross frame ships with it, ready for the four weight plates you add separately.

A square canopy covers the corners and the end seats that a round one leaves sitting in the afternoon sun.

Seven feet of clearance at the rim is unusually generous, so walking in and out from the edge is comfortable.

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

What we stand behind

• Canopy size, clearance and base dimensions come from this product's own dimension drawing.
• Rib count is withheld because the manufacturer's own images disagree across this colour range.
• 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 an outdoor sofa or sectional?

Yes, and that is the case for a cantilever. A hundred square feet of canopy at 10 feet by 10 feet reaches over a full corner group, with the post standing behind rather than among the seating. The rim is 7 feet up, so nobody hits the edge standing up.

Does it come with a weighted base?

The 40 inch cross frame is included. The weights are not. This product's own dimension drawing asks for a 100 kg base, which is 220 lb. The description text on the same record says 90 lb, so the manufacturer's paperwork contradicts itself, and 220 lb is the figure we would work to. A cantilever hangs its whole canopy to one side of the post, so the ballast is doing real work.

Are the lights bright enough to eat under?

There are 32 beads along the ribs plus a brighter light at the hub, aimed straight down. No lumen figure is published, so we will not put a number on it. What the manufacturer does publish is the runtime: about 6 to 8 hours after a full day of charging.

How do I get it through a Canadian winter?

Close it, let the canopy dry completely, wipe the post and store it dry. Canadian care guides point at the same two failures every time: snow sitting on an open canopy until a rib gives, and fabric folded away damp until mildew sets in.
