An 8.0ft beach umbrella creates a shaded area for the garden, patio, poolside, or beach using a polyester canopy that helps protect your skin. Sixteen fiberglass ribs and a steel pole support the canopy to enhance stability, while an air-vented top allows air to circulate and reduce lifting in breezy conditions. A heavy-duty sand anchor twists into the ground to help hold the pole steady, and a tilt mechanism lets you angle the shade as the sun moves. An included carrying bag simplifies transport and storage.
