This side-supported 7.5-feet tall umbrella is the perfect addition to your existing backyard or patio furniture. The 9-foot diameter, steel-ribbed polyester awning opens with a crank so you don't have to struggle with manual rising and lowering. A wide, cross-bar base counter-balances the leaning arch of the pole, though to does require addition weighted supports. Once opened, the awning can be tilted for protecting against that tricky morning and late afternoon sun. Spring-loaded locking buttons means this outdoor sun-blocker is quick and easy to assemble and disassemble, and can be stored in limited space during the off-season. With two colors to choose from - tan and deep green - you can match this stylish and practical shade-maker to a wide range of decor styles and colors. It is perfect for reclining solo with a good book, or entertaining friends or family; you'll never want to sit indoors again!
