Grand Patio 9 FT Enhanced Aluminum Patio Umbrella with Auto Crank & Push Button Tilt - UV Protection Outdoor Umbrella, Color Stripes Design for Poolside, Backyard, and Beach Use

Everything is very good and I've got good shade again! Thank you, KBI love this umbrella for being large, sturdy and having a smooth crank handle, BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO KEEP IT COMPLETELY CLOSED WHEN DOWN. We keep our umbrella outside upright in it's stand in the closed position. It wasn't until we installed it that I realized there were no ties (strips of fabric) to wrap AROUND the umbrella to keep it from flapping in the wind. We live where it's often very windy and this is essential to keep it from blowing open and visiting our neighbor's yard. When ordering it never even crossed my mind to make sure it had ties/straps. I thought that was a given. I almost sent it back, but I found a strap w/snap buckle closure that I can wrap around the umbrella when it is closed.Other than that issue, it's a GREAT UMBRELLA. Love the color, nice fabric, easy to operate and seems quite sturdy. And I couldn't beat the price. Most others I saw were easily 2-3 times the price.Great quality for the price. Just remember to put it down when a big rain storm comes!A little too light weight. We have them anchored in 55 lb. bases, but they still blow out of the base in a strong breeze.Other wise, we like them - great colors.Much larger than I thought it would be quality material vibrant colors would definitely purchase againBeautiful Red large Umbrella for pool area. We had a brand new cantilever umbrella that I ordered at the end of last summer. When it arrived I stored it in our pool house to use this summer. First week up, the rope broke and no way to repair. Since it was ordered last season, the company would not help me. So, I started looking for another umbrella. I found this one, it is beautiful and so far it is holding up nicely. It covers a nice space of two to three lounge chairs, I suggest you purchase this umbrella.Love this. Beautiful and cheapBought this for my patio table. We don't use it all the time as we have a covered porch, but I wanted it for when we needed it so I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars. This has worked out fine. I don't leave it up all the time, which helps to prolong the life of it. I'm not sure why you would. Nothing is going to withstand high winds or a storm, I don't care how expensive it is. The only complaint I have is it didn't have a tie, but I made my own and sewed it on myself.Purchased this a couple of months ago. My biggest concern is the handle/crank to raise the umbrella. It's already making strange noises as I put the shade up. The sound that gives the impression that all is not as it should be inside the mechanism. I think that I will be lucky if I get the one season out of it. Wouldn't buy again.Good quality, good width, provides a good amount of shade. Lite weight for it’s size but also strong. Upright pole is in two pieces so it’s easy to setup and move around and also it makes storage easy.Does the job well on the hot sunny days recently. Used as free standing,pole not placed through the middle of a table or pinic table, when the wind was stronger was swaying a little.well made good solid parasol easy to assemble and useSeems a decent parasol well made
