Sunnyglade 11FT Double Top Cantilever Patio Umbrella Deluxe Offset Umbrella 360° Rotation & Integrated Tilting System Heavy Duty Outdoor Umbrella for Market Garden Deck Pool Backyard Patio(Red)

We simply love this umbrella. First of all, be aware, it’s huge and heavy and a two person job to set it up. The set up itself is simple, just lifting and moving will be an issue for one person.It’s a very heavy duty product, and because of the size and weight of it, the winds in our windy Las Vegas backyard do not seem to phase it. However, we will not open it up in a high wind situation. We can start out with a light breeze and suddenly a strong wind can come out of nowhere, but so far this umbrella has repelled wind gusts very well. The vent at the top makes a difference!We purchased the 200lb weighted base also made by Sunnyglade, and it fits this umbrella’s crossbar perfectly. We filled it with water, and it works incredibly well. I wasn’t happy about spending more money for the additional item, but it is a smart move, you must have the counterweight.Operation of the cantilever is easy and flawless, I can put it up and down easily without my husbands help, that was important to me, so, yes ladies, you can handle it alone. You can tilt or swivel it in many directions, but I haven’t really had to turn the umbrella by using the foot pedal because the circumference of it is so big, it shades my conversation pit all day long. This would be such a perfect option for someone with a pool that wants to swim in the shade.We ordered the blue color based on another review that mentioned it matched the Sunbrella Aruba color, which we have on our cushions, and it’s true the color matches very well, so thanks to that reviewer for the heads up. The Blue is Breath Taking!As far as color fading and longevity, we pretty much expect some fading in our intense sunny and hot situation. The umbrella material is very high quality and even reminds me of the Sunbrella material, so I’m hoping it holds up well.If you are on the fence about this purchase, I don’t know how much more quality you’d get with an 800.00 umbrella, but I wasn’t going to spend that much. This is very impressive at this price point! Sunnyglade has a great product here.Our backyard looks like a swanky resort now, no complaints!

Granted, I’ve never owned a cantilever umbrella before, but for the price, as compared to other options on the market, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality.Materials- Fabric is thicker and sturdier than I expected, the aluminum structure is not heavy (in weight) but is a much heavier gauge than I would have anticipated.Function- Parts move smoothly once assembled and it’s very versatile in terms of positioning. I wouldn’t say it’s *easy* to rotate when open, but I’m a 46 year old woman, and not especially agile, and I can manage it alone. (I wouldn’t dock stars for the difficulty because it’s not related to the design or execution of the product, but rather the physics of moving something of that size in that way.)Assembly- It's unwieldy to assemble (due to size)- but not difficult, despite subpar instructions. It took my husband and a friend about 20 minutes to unpack and get assembled. Note: Extra bolts and nuts were included (others said they had “leftover parts that didn’t go anywhere”) but I consider that a good thing… I’d be peeved if I lost one in the grass and had to wait for a replacement.Overall- Time will tell about durability, but out of the gate, I’m pleased and I feel like it was a good value. It looks nice, functions without issue, and serves the purpose well.

Our first umbrella arrived damaged, so I reordered and happily received a replacement and a refund immediately. It was easy to put together and has made my sunny deck habitable again. It rotates easily, and moves up and down with ease. I won't leave it up when we aren't using it so it lasts longer.

Great shade but poor instructions. I ended up with “ M” screws with nowhere to put them! Guess I will wait and see what falls off! Impressive and sturdy!

These umbrellas are sturdy and beautiful. Easier to operate compared to other cantilever umbrellas. I ordered 2 of the 11 foot ones in blue.. It is the exact color of Sunbrella's Aruba blue so easy to order matching patio pillows.. Bright, vivid color. They cover all of my outdoor furniture. providing a large area of shade for seating.

I bought this product new. When it arrived, there box was in rough shape. When I opened the box it was fairly obvious that the umbrella was already used. I decided to try and assemble it when I found out there wasn't any instructions. I continued to assemble the umbrella when I found out that a large section of mast was missing and there was no way the umbrella was useable. I had to disassemble abd repackage everything. I'm very disappointed that Sunnyglade would let a used/returned product sell for a new price and on top of it let it out of their warehouse without checking to see if it had all of the items necessary to assemble the umbrella.

Very nice looking umbrella. Very easy to put up, and very sturdy. I was very pleasantly surprised.
