At 9.5 lb this 8.5-ft market umbrella is light enough to carry out to a deck one-handed, and a spring button joins the two pole sections in seconds without tools. A crank handle then opens and closes the canopy quickly. The 160 g polyester is wear-resistant and sun-proof over a powder-coated metal frame, with eight reinforced ribs seated in protective pockets that hold them in place. An air vent at the crown promotes circulation and lets gusts pass through rather than lifting the canopy. Rim height measures 6.2 ft, and an umbrella base is required and sold separately.
