Tangkula 9.5 FT Cantilever Patio Umbrella, Outdoor Square Offset Umbrella with 360°Rotation, Heavy Duty Patio Hanging Umbrella with Cross Base for Garden Deck Pool Backyard

I'm a professional surfing videographer, so my umbrella travels with me from context to contest, in a ski bag for easy carrying.I use the cantilever design so that I can pan my camera a full 270 degrees without running into the mast.I've gone through two other similar umbrellas [different brand] over the past two decades... one broke in 20 MPH winds, and the other I just retired due to rust from exposure to a decade of salt spray. I couldn't find that same umbrella to replace it with, so I bought this new one for $30 less than I paid for my other ones.I just returned home from my first 10-day contest using this new umbrella, and I am more than happy with it.This umbrella is built sturdier and better than my others. The metal pieces are thicker and better designed, and the umbrella material is thicker and better crafted. It does weigh a little more, but that's to be expected with its stronger design and build. It withstood 10 days of 10-15 MPH winds, with gusts up to 20 MPH; but, do keep in mind that I strap down my umbrella's mast and boom down to keep the umbrella from twisting in high winds (see photos). I'm sure it would survive 5-10 MPH winds without any additional support at all.I secured the umbrella's base to my tower using eight stainless steel wood screws, so it wasn't going anywhere. Even with the beating that it took, it showed no signs of bending or damage. I think I'm going to have this umbrella for a long, long time.One feature that is different than my previous umbrella is that this umbrella goes up with one movement. Just slide the locking boom joint up, and the umbrella deploys to fully open. With my old umbrella, I had to slide the boom up, tighten it down, then crank the handle until a rope pulled the main frame up, and then the umbrella deployed. Even then, the boom never stayed put, and the canvas never stayed tight. And the rope eventually broke. But this umbrella stays up and tight with one easy motion.The only feature this umbrella lacks is the ability to angle the canopy, for early morning or late afternoon sun on the horizon. If that's not important to you, then this is the cantilever umbrella for you.This is definitely the best 140-or-so dollars I've ever spent.

Cantilever umbrellas are becoming a common option for outdoor sun shade. A side mounted support system sets cantilever umbrellas apart from conventional center pole umbrellas. The shade may be placed more conveniently and creatively thanks to the large circular canopy. It's important to note there is not a base included with the umbrella. You must purchase this separately and you will want to make sure it's sturdy because the umbrella and pole are heavy. They make plastic container bases that you can fill with water or sand similar to a basketball hoop. There are also anchor bases you can concrete into the dirt. A concrete base is my personal preference to help prevent tipping over. No matter the base used, it's important to tightly fasten to ensure stability during windy conditions. As the sun travels throughout the day, you can block the sun and create shade in a variety of directions by rotating the umbrella with ease. The shaded area can be used to its fullest extent because there is no obstruction in the middle thanks to the absence of a central pole like a traditional umbrella system. Cantilever umbrellas can offer full shade without blocking the view and a modern focal point in your yard. In order to prevent damage, I would advise to close and secure the umbrella when not in use.

After searching for a big offset umbrella at an affordable price, I decided to go with this 10’ tan umbrella and sure glad I did. Was delivered in the time promised, packaged well and I was able to put it together in about 15 minutes by myself from the clear instructions. I purchased a heavy duty offset umbrella base, so I had everything ready for when it came in. The tan color is a true tan. It’s also not too heavy and if I want to move it around my patio for whatever reason, I can. It’s easy to open and close. I’m 4’11” and had no problem. I also love that I can rotate it 360. My patio is 10’ wide, so the coverage is perfect for my area. Will update in a couple months, but so far, I’m very happy with it.

This contraption is hard to set up and hard to adjust. We had to jeri rigg it to get it to work.The base did not fit the umbrella so had to improvise.Once up it was ok but would never buy again.

Purchased it to replace the old broken one , having it for a while now, pretty satisfied so far. It's easy to operate for small adults as well. The structure is durable for the price, weight base is highly recommended. It covers my patio furniture lots . And it holds up pretty well in the rainstorm we had in the area couple days ago. Overall, it's a great value for the money.

I love it! It gives off modern vibes to my backyard, and I also like the color! In addition, the quantity is fair and acceptable. Not cheap nor expensive. It provides a fair amount of shade, too! If anyone is looking for a good umbrella for your typical backyard pool, I would recommend this.

I like how this umbrella really big and it block the Sun from our chair area. I also really like how this umbrella’s is really easy to set up by yourself.

It’s very high quality, sturdy, assembly was simple enough,I just put couple bags of sand on the base, it’s very sturdy! I saw the same size umbrella in another store cost around 200, this is such good deal

Bought this to create shade for our patio. It’s super easy to assemble and way bigger than we thought.
