Eight-foot portable beach umbrella provides shade for garden, patio, or poolside, with a polyester canopy that helps protect your skin from direct sun. Sixteen fiberglass ribs support the canopy and work with the steel pole to enhance stability in breezy conditions, while the air-vented top allows airflow to reduce wind pressure. A heavy-duty sand anchor twists into the ground to help limit shaking and keep the umbrella in place. The tilting mechanism lets you adjust the shade angle as the sun moves, and the included carrying bag makes it easier to store and carry between uses.
