Sunnyglade 10x13Ft Cantilever Patio Umbrella Rectangular Deluxe Offset 360°Rotation & Integrated Tilting System Hanging Umbrella for Market Garden Deck Pool Backyard Patio (Tan)

So I’m getting a hot tub and we needed an umbrella. While waiting on the tub (Covid is slowing the world down to a crawl) I researched lots of umbrellas. I waited for prime day and pulled the trigger on this one. Took a few weeks to arrive. Mine arrived in perfect shape with all parts and the poorly executed manual. With that being said I’m pretty mechanical and I had it up in no time by myself. I’m 6’4” 225lb. If you are small or weak I’d get help this thing is tall heavy and awkward to put together. Initially I was very impressed by the heft and thickness of the metal parts seems like it should hold up! Most negative reviews I read are from ppl whose units were damaged in shipping or they improperly mounted them. It needs to be weighted down not screwed down (I’m sure it could prob be screwed down if done properly but...) I didn’t want to spend $80 on the sunnyglade 176lb plastic base since it had some poor reviews that said it busted and filling with sand is more money and it’s a pain. Instead I bought four 20”x20”x2” 65lb each square pavers from a box store at $6.28 apiece for a total of 260lbs of weight. As overkill I also got four 16”x16”x2” 38lb each decorative red cobblestone pavers to go on top at $4.98 each for a total of 152 additional lbs. So really the 4 big blocks would have been fine but all 8 were still less than $50 including tax and it would take a hurricane to budge the 412lb of total weight.Chose this style because it is very simple to operate. Wanted my wife to have no problems using it without help. 360° Rotation and tilt are easy and so needed.Also the color was true to the picture and it’s very brilliant. Grabbed a cheap set of umbrella lights to go underneath, can’t wait to use the umbrella with our hot tub. (getting cold now tho in Michigan 😎)

Love this umbrella.Once you get used to how it works, you'll find it's super flexible for different angles and positions. It is sturdy yet bends in the wind to avoid breaking. I mistakenly left it wide open when a strong wind storm hit. Even though the wind blew it out if the base and onto the ground, hitting the pergola on the way down, there was no damage to the arms or fabric because of the way the arms bent with the wind and fall.Fantastic product engineering. Genius design for moving up, down, spreading out, as well as securing in the base.It covers a pretty wide area when up full. I invested in several cans of Scotchgard to waterproof it - you'll need six+ 42 ounce cans to cover it well; I just did the top, not the underside. Good enough I think.It's easy to assemble, although the directions are pretty lacking; typical for these kinds of products. If you are used to assembling this kind of stuff and use common sense, you'll have it together in under 1/2 hour. You'll need two people when it comes to inserting the main pole into the base; it's heavy and needs to be guided in, so one person lifts and the other guides. The rest can be done by one person.I'm also adding a shout out to their customer service. When it arrived it was missing the base piece that holds the center pole. I was pretty miffed as I had already taken everything out of the box and did not want to send it back. I went through Amazon vendor contact, explained, sent pictures and asked that they send me the missing piece. They are in China. They sent another complete umbrella that arrived a few days later, no charge (!). Now I have a 100% backup if anything breaks, and if not, a total 2nd umbrella free. Not bad!Can't beat it for the price (plus base and Scotchgard). If you're hesitating, don't - great product. And be sure to buy the base, which you simply fill up with water for the weight, which is enough to secure it unless you leave it open in high winds like I did. Don't skimp on the base - oher umbrella bases will not work.

Jeebus. This thing is no joke - it's enormous.Assembly was easy enough and the umbrella canvas feels premium. My only gripe is that the main pole and cantilever arm don't feel quite as sturdy as they need to be with such a monstrously big umbrella handing from them.When even the smallest gust of wind comes through, this bad boy sways like a middle aged woman at an Eagles concert - and I'm always nervous that he supporting structure can't take the torque. That being said, I've had it for over a month, used it almost daily, and had no problems. It just SEEMS like it needs to be beefier. Take that as you will.Things to be aware of:- it only tilts in one direction, back toward the support pole.- no side to side tilting, but the base does rotate so you can articulate it a pretty good deal if you have the room to rotate the whole thing.- it's huge. like, so much bigger than I was expecting. measure before buying this option because it almost doesn't fit on my deck and I thought that was impossible.- it doens't come with a weighted base. I was good with this because I wanted to bolt it down anyway, but be aware of that.

I wasn't sure this would be a good choice but after putting the umbrella together, I was very happy with the purchase. Assembly was easy. The umbrella is very sturdy. It was easy to pick up 4 16"x16" dark gray stepping stones at Home Depot plus two more 12x12's for added weight. They hold the unit in place firmly, even in a decent breeze. The look is perfectly fine.Operation is super smooth. The handle that adjusts tilt of the entire umbrella has a number of settings and slides easily. The crank feel solid and the built in ties seem to keep it secure. No issues at all as Hurricane Henri passed off shore NJ. We went with an aqua color. It's definitely aqua and not light blue. Sometimes determining the real color is tough online. The fabric is heavy and it looks really good. 4 years ago I paid almost $900 at Sams Club for an umbrella like this but with a built in sand filled base. It was ok... but the operation was not as good as this umbrella. Never again. I'd buy this umbrella again in a heartbeat. As long as you are ok with the paver stone base.. as far as looks go, this is a great choice.
