A 9 x 8-ft patio umbrella provides broad shade over outdoor tables or seating while maintaining 6.6-ft ground clearance with its ruffled edges so people can move comfortably underneath. The polyester fabric canopy is tear-resistant and fade-resistant, and a vented top lets air flow through to help reduce wind pressure. A crank handle opens and closes the canopy smoothly, while a push button tilt with an aluminum joint adjusts the angle to track the sun. Eight heavy-duty ribs, reinforced rib pockets, and a rustproof powder-coated metal pole support the canopy, and a safe latch plus loop strap keep it secured when folded.
