Charcoal 3m Cantilever Umbrella with UPF 50+ Protection
The octagonal canopy measures 3m in diameter, providing shade for suitable outdoor furniture and seating arrangements.
Furthermore, the polyester fabric features a stated UPF 50+ rating, indicating a high level of ultraviolet protection through the canopy material.
The charcoal canopy creates a contemporary appearance that complements timber-look furniture, black metal outdoor settings and neutral patio designs.
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 conventional centre-pole umbrella, this cantilever design positions its 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 greater flexibility when arranging outdoor tables, lounges and chairs.
The black coated-steel frame features eight steel support ribs. Together, these components form the umbrella’s main supporting structure.
Its stated clearance height of 2.3m also provides a useful measurement when planning the umbrella’s placement around outdoor furniture.
Crank-Operated Opening and Closing
The charcoal 3m cantilever umbrella features a crank-operated mechanism for opening and closing the canopy.
Rather than manually lifting the canopy, you can operate the crank according to the supplied instructions. This makes routine opening and closing more convenient.
Before using 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.
Furthermore, integrated carry handles assist with handling and positioning the empty plates.
Because the base is included with the umbrella, no separate base is required for the supplied configuration. However, the complete assembly must be filled and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Charcoal Polyester Canopy with Eight Steel Ribs
The umbrella combines a charcoal 180gsm polyester canopy with a contrasting black coated-steel frame.
Eight steel ribs support the octagonal canopy, while the water-resistant polyester fabric offers protection from light moisture under suitable conditions.
In addition, the charcoal and black colour combination can complement modern patios, garden dining furniture and outdoor lounge settings.
The umbrella has an overall height of 2.8m and a stated clearance height of 2.3m. Before purchasing, ensure that the open canopy and frame have adequate clearance from surrounding structures.
Removable and Washable Polyester Canopy
The polyester canopy is removable for cleaning according to the supplied care instructions.
This feature makes it easier to maintain the fabric’s appearance when routine cleaning is required.
For best results, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for removing, washing, drying and reinstalling the canopy. Avoid harsh chemicals or unsuitable cleaning methods that may affect the fabric or its protective properties.
Charcoal 3m Cantilever Umbrella for Patios and Gardens
Whether you’re creating a shaded outdoor dining area or arranging seating in your courtyard, this charcoal 3m cantilever umbrella provides a convenient side-post design.
Its octagonal canopy, crank opening mechanism and included water-fillable base bring several useful outdoor features into one package.
Meanwhile, the charcoal finish offers an alternative to lighter canopy colours while complementing a variety of outdoor furniture arrangements.
