A 9 x 8 in patio umbrella creates shade for outdoor seating with a polyester fabric canopy supported by a rustproof powder-coated metal pole and 8 heavy-duty ribs for reliable structure. The convenient crank handle opens and closes the canopy smoothly so you do not have to lift. A push button at the aluminum joint tilts the canopy up to 25° to help block low-angle sun through the day. A vented top allows air to circulate to help reduce wind pressure and improve stability. Reinforced rib pockets and a loop strap help protect the fabric and keep the folded canopy neatly secured when not in use.
