What we like: Auto-lock system

What we don’t like: Prone to tipping if the base is not filled with sand or water correctly

This extra-wide and sturdy patio umbrella provides 144” or 12’ of outdoor coverage, more than most options on the market. A cantilever design, this model requires the use of counterweights (included) to ensure stability. Made from double-coated polyester, the octagonal canopy is highly durable and available in two colors: Champagne and brick red. The frame is made from aluminum. 

While this metal is more resistant to corrosion than steel alloys, the manufacturer also applies a powder-coated surface finish to provide further protection against the elements. You can open and close the canopy with a crank handle, and there’s a push-button tilt function, allowing you to adjust the angle up to 90°. The umbrella also has an auto-lock system so you can set the opening angle to the position you like best.

The base includes wheels, allowing you to move the assembly with minimal effort, making it ideal for pool side seating areas. It is also a great option for businesses looking for heavy-duty commercial patio umbrellas for al fresco dining areas.
