Loaded with stability features, this 8 x 8 ft square cantilever umbrella spans roughly 64 sq ft of shade without a center pole obstructing the seating area below. A 2.1 in metal mast and eight heavy-duty ribs support a double-tier polyester canopy that resists tearing, sun damage, and drizzle. The unit rotates a full 360 degrees so shade can follow the sun, and a smooth crank lift raises the canopy in seconds. The cross base holds two sandbags weighing up to 116 lbs.
