PURPLE LEAF 10ft Patio Umbrella Outdoor Square Umbrella Large Cantilever Umbrella Windproof Offset Umbrella Heavy Duty Sun Umbrella for Garden Deck Pool Patio, Brick Red

Like the title says, I almost cancelled my order because I honestly believed that we were not going to receive our umbrellas!Let's start from the beginning. We live in the south (Texas) and it can get HOT. What better way to beat the sun than with a pool? But what if that pool is in the sun all day? Let's solve that with a sun shade! Never mind that, those are terrible. UMBRELLAS THEN!We located Purple Leaf on Amazon and I found them to be quite impressive. I really liked the base design and the sheer weight of the base was noted (300 something lbs when loaded). I have seen umbrellas take flight and I wanted something truly sturdy. The umbrella itself looked great, heavy shade material, and they were in-stock! KIND OF... This is where it gets complicated...We ordered the Umbrellas, noticed that they were in-stock, and had prime available. Great!*FOUR WEEKS LATER* - Where is my SHADE?! It's been 100+ for a few days to be fully transparent.So I called Amazon. I was fully convinced that we were never going to receive our umbrellas. They were in forever 'pending shipping' / 'we will let you know mode'. So again, I called. Nice guy on the phone who stated that he understood why we were going to cancel... (nice conversation and we had confirmation of a cancelled order and pending refund) or so I thought... 24 hours later, I get a confirmation that my order was shipped.. What the fudge... Did I still want them? Was Amazon making me get them? Is it life's goal I now have these umbrellas?! Jeff saw my order and made it fulfilled?!48 hours later, I had TWO large umbrellas. There they were. Just weeks late. I wondered, if I never made the call, 'would they have shipped?!'... That was irrelevant now.Setup: Setup was SUPER easy. You have to order the bases separately and it might be a pain to do so, but whatever, it's there thing. I ordered the: 'PURPLE LEAF Offset Umbrella Base Cantilever Umbrella Base, 32.3'' X 32.3''"Back to setup. The bases are all put together in a large box, clearly labeled and all you have to do is figure out where you want your base and remove the plastic packaging. Super simple. The base looks tough (very hard plastic) and does not appear it will fail. The ports for water & sand installment are on top of the base and are easily located.I purchased the Purple Leaf beige 10 x 12 umbrella and it arrived in a huge box. It was heavy in an awkward way. No high deal, carried it in with my wife and we got to opening the box. Oh how thankful we were when we noticed that they entire thing was assembled! just some plastic on the outside as a cover and then the inside. We did notice that it came with a heavy mounting base that secured to the above base. Good design. I now see why this thing costs so much.I went to my local Home Depot and purchased 200lbs of play sand. I wasn't going to break the bank on this one; each 50lb bag was 5.97 lol. I bought all the necessary sand and brought it home. I learned quick of the method... Open the base port WITHOUT the umbrella installed and begin filling sand. Then after some time, lift up the base so you can make the sand even. Do this a few times until each unit has consumed it's 50lbs of sand. Then add water. THEN attach the umbrella. Method to the madness.End: Once your base is heavy, install the umbrella. We opened the umbrella immediately and noticed that the base would not move; it had to weigh 300lbs or so with the water.Conclusion: They are worth every dime. They are mega umbrellas. I hated the wait. I was sure I was going to be umbrella-less forever. But now we have shade. The setup is easy. The material is great super heavy fabric (like an intense duffle bag material or better) and the crank system works like a charm. Would I buy them again? Yes.TL;DR: Wait is bad. Texas is hot. Umbrellas are good. Beer is best in shaded pool.

In a nutshell - the umbrella is great. So glad we got it.We live on the Columbia River facing south/southwest across from a wildlife refuge, so we need some shade but I didn't want anything that would permanently block the view. Also, we're near the mouth of the famously windy Columbia Gorge, so any umbrella would have to be extra stable, even when closed (I've lost several tall, heavy potted plants).This umbrella hit every mark. 1. As you can see from the photos, when the umbrella is closed, it's out of view. 2. I can sit outside now and find shade any time of day by changing the angle of the umbrella. 3. My engineer husband laughed at me when I said we ought to move it to the side of the house to be safe when the big winds come. He said that the umbrella is going nowhere when closed. We had some 15 mph gusts the other day when I was sitting outside, and there was some minor movement at the top, but nothing to be concerned about.Assembly and operation: My son put it together on his own, pretty intuitively; however, he's 6'5". If you don't have the height, It would be pretty difficult without two people. Now that it's assembled, it's very easy for me to put up and down and change the angle.We got the moveable base because I wanted to be able to adjust the location to shade the table or the seating area. However, we filled it to the max with sand and water for maximum stability, so it's big and it's HEAVY. My son and husband can move it. I (a fit 135 lb, 5'5" woman) cannot. Customer service suggested we take some of the sand out and put a couple of sandbags on top instead. We'll do that before next season.

I bought this to replace an umbrella that had lasted many years until the mechanical pieces of it failed. The old umbrella had Sunbrella fabric which is amazing and was still in great shape after over a decade. At this price point, you don't get Sunbrella, but the fabric appears to be very well made and the mechanics of the umbrella are excellent. Opens and rotates easily and is attractive. Provides nice shade and is adjustable any which way you could ever want. It was easy to put together and set up - be sure you read the instructions carefully! The people giving this umbrella low ratings because it does not come with a stand really are not being fair to this product at all in my opinion - the listing says many times and is 100% clear that the stand needs to be purchased separately. We used a metal plate stand (not the water/ sand one) and it works great. So far so good - we'll see how the fabric holds up and if it lasts anywhere near as long as the last one it will have been an outstanding deal.

I got this umbrella on a sale so it was pretty inexpensive compared to other ones. I have the 10‘ x 10‘ modelI have to say I’m pretty impressed. It assembled easily and seems to be constructed in a sturdy fashion and seems like it will stand up well and last. Hope to get at least a couple seasons out of it.It’s attractive and I got the black colored one and it looks good.If you fill the standard base with water it weighs 240 pounds, so it’s not easy to move but still movable. So far that is enough weight to keep the umbrella steady even in a moderate wind. I’m happy with that as it’s such a large surface area I was afraid it would immediately blow over but it’s pretty good.You can fill the base with a mixture of sand and water which takes the weight up to 400 pounds and I don’t believe the umbrella would move at all with that much weight but would probably get damaged before it would tip over.I wish the tilt mechanism allowed you to tilt it in both axis’s rather than just up and down but it is what it is.All in all I’m really happy and it casts a large amount of shade over my patio table and surrounding area.

Super grand et bonne qualité

Attention ⚠️ ! Le parasol semble bien mais… il est livré sans aucun pied, pas de croix, rien pour le fixer… je ne peux donc pas l’utiliser. Je pe sais naïvement qu’il arriverait au moins avec une croix pour le faire tenir au sol. Comme j’ai 200 kg de base en béton, je pensais pouvoir l’utiliser mais sans croix c’est impossible. J’ai donc dû commander sur le site un pied pour 220€ en plus ! Tenez bien compte de cette information quand vous commanderez ce produit !!

The quality of the umbrella and the supporting bars look perfect but the pins of one supporting bar of the umbrella popped out after couple of days of use when opening the umbrella. Pins are nailed and not screwed. Pins of the supporting bars seem to be the weakest point of the parasol. Is it worth buying an expensive parasol if it falls into parts in a regular use ?

Leider wurde der Schirm beschädigt geliefert und bei Retoure nicht volle Summe erstattet.

Robuste et fonctionnel. Ce n’est pas m mais la housse de protection est fournie avec. Le pied n’est pas fourni.
