A rectangular 6.5 x 4.3 ft canopy is cut for a balcony, where a round umbrella wastes half its span over the railing. At 6 lbs it is the lightest umbrella in this range and comes with a carrying bag, so it can be taken to a campsite or a beach as easily as set up at home. One push button adjusts the shade angle. Polyester fabric handles sun, light drizzle and repeated folding without tearing. Overall height is 8 ft. A base or railing clamp is needed and is not included.
