Cantilever Premium Aluminum 9-foot Umbrella

I researched a lot before purchasing this umbrella and was fairly disappointed when it arrived. The stand is fine, but the attachement/joining pieces are cheap looking plastic. The color is not brick, it is tomato, especially in the bright sun and it is not waterproof. You get wet if you are under it during the rain. I am going to try spraying it with something to fix that, but overall I feel that I should have spent extra to get Sunbrella material. I would have sent it back, but it just seemed like a hassle and it does fit perfectly on my deck and provides nice shade.

We need shade on our lower deck in the back yard. The deck is on the west side of our house and gets very hot in the afternoon. We checked out alot of umbrellas and thought this would be what would do the trick. We mounted it to the floor on our upper deck so we could turn it to cover part of our pool or turn it to shade our lower deck. We have had it up about 2 weeks now and it is great in the afternoons. Stays nice and cool on the lower deck and when we are swimming we can have some shade in the pool area. Great umbrella to have on a deck. Easy to put together.

The umbrella requires you bolt it into the flooring or it will tumble over. For comparable pricing you can ones on sturdier base that do not reuqire such bolting down.

Very nice umbrella, I chose the brick red color which is slightly more of a deep orange in my opinion. Does not stand as tall as I was hoping for but I think with some adjustments you may be able to get it to stand at least a foot taller. Overall very happy with product; it may be a little overpriced after looking around some more.
