Black 3m Cantilever Umbrella with UPF 50+ Protection
The octagonal canopy measures 3m in diameter, making it suitable for providing shade across a range of outdoor seating arrangements.
Furthermore, the polyester fabric features a stated UPF 50+ rating, indicating a high level of ultraviolet protection through the canopy material.
The black canopy creates a contemporary appearance that can complement timber-look furniture, metal outdoor dining settings and modern garden lounges.
Although the canopy is water-resistant, it is not described as waterproof. Therefore, it should not be relied upon for shelter during heavy rain, storms or severe weather.
Side-Post Design for Flexible Outdoor Seating
Unlike a traditional centre-pole umbrella, this cantilever design positions the main supporting pole to one side of the canopy.
As a result, the centre of the shaded area remains free from a supporting pole, allowing more flexibility when arranging outdoor tables, lounges and chairs.
The umbrella features a black coated-steel frame with eight steel canopy ribs. Together, these components provide the main supporting structure.
Its stated clearance height of 2.3m is also useful when planning the umbrella’s placement around outdoor furniture.
Crank-Operated Opening and Closing
The black 3m cantilever umbrella features a crank opening mechanism for operating the canopy.
Instead of manually lifting the canopy, you can use the crank according to the supplied instructions. This makes routine opening and closing more convenient.
Before operating the mechanism, ensure there is sufficient clearance around the umbrella and that the frame can move without contacting nearby furniture or structures.
Keep hands and fingers away from moving joints and frame components during operation.
Four-Plate Water-Fillable Base Included
This outdoor umbrella comes with a modular four-plate water-fillable base made from black polyethylene (PE) plastic.
The individual plates can be positioned around the compatible umbrella support arrangement before filling them with water.
Once correctly filled, the additional weight provides ballast to help support the umbrella under suitable outdoor conditions.
In addition, the base plates feature integrated carry handles for easier positioning when empty.
Because the base is included with the umbrella, there is no need to purchase a separate base for the supplied configuration. However, it must still be assembled, filled and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Black Polyester Canopy with Eight Steel Ribs
The umbrella combines a black 180gsm polyester canopy with a matching black coated-steel frame.
Eight steel ribs support the octagonal canopy, while the water-resistant fabric helps manage light moisture exposure during suitable weather conditions.
Furthermore, the all-black colour scheme provides a coordinated appearance for contemporary outdoor furniture and garden settings.
The overall umbrella height is 2.8m, with a stated clearance height of 2.3m. Before purchasing, ensure that the canopy and frame have enough space to open without obstruction.
Removable and Washable Canopy
The polyester canopy is removable for cleaning according to the supplied care instructions.
This makes it easier to maintain the fabric’s appearance when cleaning is required.
For best results, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for canopy removal, washing, drying and reinstallation. Avoid harsh chemicals or unsuitable cleaning methods that may affect the material or its stated protective properties.
Black 3m Cantilever Umbrella for Patios and Gardens
Whether you’re creating a shaded outdoor dining area or arranging seating in your courtyard, this black 3m cantilever umbrella offers a convenient side-post design.
Its octagonal canopy, crank opening mechanism and included water-fillable base combine several useful outdoor features in one package.
The black finish can complement a range of patio furniture, while the side-post arrangement helps keep the central shaded area available for seating.
