Offset shade from the cantilever design keeps your seating and table clear of a center pole while the 9-ft canopy spans your outdoor area. The polyester fabric canopy helps block harsh sunlight, and a vented top lets heat escape and reduces wind pressure for more stable coverage. A simple handle moves up and down to open or close the umbrella, and the 2-section metal post breaks down for easier setup, transport, and storage. Metal ribs and protective rib pockets support the canopy and help prevent tearing.
