One hundred and thirty-five square feet of shade is what a 15 x 9 ft double canopy delivers, enough for a full outdoor dining set with room to walk around it. Vented tops on both halves let hot air rise out instead of pressing against the fabric. The pole is 1.9 in across and the umbrella stands 8.6 ft. PA-coated polyester resists water and fading. Total weight is 27.5 lbs. Beige suits a commercial terrace or a cafe as readily as a garden. A base rated for a twin canopy is needed and is not included.
