USA 317171, Patio, 90% UV Block, 11' with Adjustable Tilt, Smoke COOLAROO Market UMBRELLS, Shade, Round Exterior Umbrella

I bought my first Coolaroo last spring to replace a worn out canvass umbrella. I have enjoyed it so much I bought a second one this spring. It gets really hot in the summer here and trying to enjoy the patio with limited shade we have been using market umbrellas made of other materials. Probided shade but it seemed like we were still baking under the heat. These Coolaroo umbrellas are made of a unique fabric that breezes easily penetrate yet block most of the suns rays. Also the 11 ft diameter provides more shade for longer periods as the sun makes it's scorching hours across the sky.My first one is just over 1 year old and survived an unexpected ice storm we accidentally left it open position under 3 inches of ice and snow. The fabric stretched but did not tear and returned to its original shape once the ice melted. My older heavy canvass brand X umbrella did not fare so well and the center pole broke under the ice load and the whole thing fell over into the pool. While I recommend closing the Coolaroo during severe weather, the durability, quality and ease of use convinced me that I would buy a second one this spring. There is also a tilt feature, Nice to have if you are BBQ ing and want shade simply tilt at an angle to provide shade while cooking yet clear of the heat from the BBQ .This is the best umbrella of its kind I have ever used. Set up is very easy and the instructions that come with intuitively illustrative. I am over 50, female and I had the unit set up and open with no assistance in 10 minutes. Also like it is made in USA!!

This Umbrella seemed like a good quality product when I first got it. It worked well for the first several weeks but then I tried the tilt function once or twice. The 3 position tilt mechanizm then broke and the umbrella became unable to stand straight up. When I contacted Coolaroo customer service I was told that it was probably a defective part but there were no replacement parts for it. Since 30 days had passed there was nothing they could do. Amazon would not take it back either. I would not buy another product from this company.

I had just one word when I opened the box...WOW. Large, high quality, the poles actually fit my tables despite being 11 foot umbrellas. Beautiful. Now...some complain that it is a "vented" or should I say more of a woven fabric. Therefore, it is a sun screen only. They do NOT function as protection from the rain. Water flows right through the fabric. To some this may be a bad thing. For me, a Sun Screen that makes the patio cooler...without making it dark is nice. Also, my plants love it. Traditional umbrellas this size produced so much shade that my sun loving flowers...that are still delicate and need shade just not darkness...would either die from sun, or not blossom from too much shade. These things work great. The plants get all the sun they need, yet they do not die from direct sunlight burning their delicate pedals and leaves. For the humans, it is nice to have light...but be cool by having indirect sunlight instead. I love them. I recommend them. I get lots of compliments about them. They are beautiful...and of good quality. Just one example. Cheaper China umbrellas...open them up and you will see fragments of "stitching" hanging loose in areas around the fabric seams. Not so here. The seamstress made sure these things were produced with quality stitching. My only complaint is the tilt. One angle only. If that is too much...too bad. Yuck. Otherwise...fantastic.

I have had around 8 of these. Reason the material is the only 1 that lasts in the Arizona sun. the umbrella mechanism and construction for the price is decent although all the brand's I have used have been only designed to last a season or 2 if you are lucky. Coolaroo material has a 5 year warranty umbrella does not. Since umbrella is like a sail a strong wind will lift it TIP don't extend the umbrella all the way leave some slack that way if wind gust comes up it is less likely to blow away.***UPDATE*** By the way the company did replace 1 of these that the material gave out on 1 edge sent me a brand new replacement after 1 year of use good customer service*** Also the diameter of the pole is 2" means that's it very sturdy but may require you to measure the table or stand you use. This us my 3RD one I just ordered a new one. I am using all of them oldest is 3+ years material looks brand new!!! and have gone through several cheaper models with cloth material. the cooloroo material is amazing. I have had mine here in Arizona sun 115 days and over 100 days over 100 the material still looks new! This would be 5 stars easy except 2 problems. The ring plastic at the center cracked and ducktapped that at 6 month mark today blew over in the wind and the tilt mechanism broke(still is usable :). :( time for a new one. I would pay more if they used higher quality parts but still it's the best I have had. If you live anywhere hot this is the only material that lasts.

Just as advertised. Gives a filtered light under it. I bought a regular market umbrella initially, but with the breezes on my deck (no way could you call it windy, or I would have wound the umbrella down), a 44 pound base and a wrought iron table surrounding it could not hold it- it went flying. Because this fabric allows some breeze to pass through it, it is less apt to get airborne. The mechanism works very smoothly, and the pole is a standard size that fits my wrought iron base. It is a light beige color, which goes with my chair cushions. It is large enough to shade a table for 6, even in late afternoon when the sun is at an angle.With the prime free shipping, I think it is a good buy. Sometimes the price seems inflated when prime shipping is offered, but not in this case.

I like 👍 it. Good quality.

Great umbrella. I’m ordered another as my first one is 8 years old and still working well and looking good

Love it.
