PHI VILLA 15ft Large Patio Umbrellas with Base Included, Outdoor Double-Sided Rectangle Market Umbrella with Crank Handle, for Pool Lawn Garden, Blue

This umbrella is a beautiful design providing many homeowners with varying degrees of satisfaction.In my case, I have a small patio in central Florida which has concrete wall facing the afternoon sun which creates a radiating wall of heat in addition to the pavers heating up. All of which makes the patio very hot.Conventional circular umbrellas do not have a big footprint equal to the rectangular design.So this design is much more efficient.The base is metallic and prone to get wet and eventually create rust stains on the pavers.The base is rudimentary in design and exposed to the elements and so I immediately decided to box the base in and cover the base for aesthetic reason.Two bags of "Play Sand" from Home Depot totaled one hundred pounds of weight. The umbrella kit comes with two bags made of fabric in which the buyer fills with sand.The covered pedestal that I constructed for the base has two 2" x 4" struts on the bottom which allows me to slip a dolly underneath to move the umbrella for whatever reason. I did not want to find myself in a situation in which I would have move two 50 lb. bags of sand to move the umbrella and then have to put the two 50 lb. bags back just to move the umbrella with base. On top of that, in my case, I have the covered base pedestal enclosed. So I would have to open the pedestal and close it back up to remove the bags of weight.Placing struts underneath the base and using a dolly to move the umbrella makes my design mobile.I saw some ceramic tiles at Home Depot and added two pieces to the top of the pedestal for aesthetic and protection from the rain. I will be sealing the seams with white Silicone adhesive.Yesterday was the first day that I had to close the umbrella because of the wind blowing too hard for the umbrella to be left standing as the umbrella was taking a beating for which it was not designed.So caution has to be observed by not leaving the umbrella open unattended 24/7.I love my umbrella and strongly recommend. Keep in mind that my pedestal is custom made and that the base can become unsightly and precaution must be taken with the wind factor.I imagine that someone who entertains guests with a long table will appreciate the long berth of this umbrella providing shade and shelter from light rain.FYI: The six foot umbrella mast diameter is smaller than the nine foot umbrella mast diameter. And the fifteen foot long umbrella pictured here has an umbrella mast diameter larger than both the six footer and the nine foot umbrella masts.

This patio umbrella is absolutely perfect for our backyard setup! The 15ft double-sided design gives so much shade easily covers our entire outdoor dining table and then some. It’s been great for relaxing outside with family without having to fight over who’s in the sun.Setup was straightforward, and I really appreciated that it came with the base and sandbags which needs to be filled with sand. Once we filled the bags and secured the base, it felt very sturdy, even with a breeze. It is sturdy and has strong base and poles. With both the cross base and heavy sandbags in place, it holds up well even on slightly windy days. It doesn’t wobble or sway like some cheaper umbrellas we’ve tried in the past. It feels safe and secureThe crank handle makes opening and closing the umbrella really easy, and the fabric seems like good quality, it's thick, doesn’t fade in the sun, and handles light rain without soaking through. The frame feels strong too, and I love the neutral color that blends nicely with the rest of our outdoor furniture.I haven’t had it long enough to say how it will hold up over several seasons, but it feels well-made so far. Hopefully it lasts for years, it definitely makes our outdoor space more enjoyable!
