10′ X 13′ Outdoor Patio Umbrella Large Rectangle Cantilever Umbrella Heavy Duty 360°Rotation Offset Umbrella for Garden Deck Pool Patio,Beige

This review is for the 10×13 Patio Umbrella, Beige, at a price of $429.00.I obtained this to set up in my back yard to replace several round umbrellas that had been accidentally left opened and destroyed by a strong wind. This rectangular umbrella is about 10×13 feet in size and sits about 7-feet off the ground when adjusted to be flat and installed with the weighted base. Care should be taken to make sure there are no tree limbs close above it, since when fully tilted, the far edge of it will be more than 12 feet off the ground.Installation was a challenge due to the instructions that came with it being very poorly written and hard to understand. It definitely requires a couple of people to set up due to the weight of the umbrella component and the awkwardness of installing the umbrella segment into the base pole. I purchased the optional weighted base so that I could move it around and not have it permanently anchored to my concrete patio, but the included cross base would be nice to use for installing on a wooden deck or if a permanent installation was necessary.Overall, it is a nice umbrella that can easily be opened and closed. The rotation and tilting capabilities are also very nice to have and operate very smoothly. I’m not sure how rugged it will be or how much breeze it can stand up to, but for my situation, I only plan on having it open for special occasions on good weather days, so hopefully it will last a long time.
