Create flexible outdoor shade with this grey 3m rotating umbrella, featuring an octagonal UPF 50+ canopy, 360-degree rotation and convenient crank-operated opening. Its side-post cantilever design keeps the main supporting pole away from the centre of the shaded area, making it suitable for appropriately sized patios, gardens, courtyards and outdoor dining spaces.
The grey 180gsm polyester canopy is water-resistant and supported by eight steel ribs. A black metal frame provides the supporting structure, while the rotating mechanism lets you reposition shade as sunlight changes direction. Important: An umbrella base is not included and must be purchased separately before use.

Grey 3m Rotating Umbrella with 360° Shade Adjustment
The 360-degree rotating mechanism allows you to change the canopy’s orientation as the sun moves across your outdoor space.
Rather than relocating the complete umbrella and its supporting base, you can rotate the canopy to help position shade over suitable garden chairs, an outdoor dining table or a patio lounge.
The cantilever design positions the main supporting post to one side, providing more usable space beneath the canopy than a conventional centre-pole umbrella.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when rotating the canopy and avoid making adjustments in windy conditions.
Grey 3m Rotating Umbrella with UPF 50+ Protection
The umbrella features a 3m octagonal canopy manufactured from grey 180gsm polyester fabric.
Its stated UPF 50+ rating indicates a high level of protection against ultraviolet radiation passing through the rated fabric.
This helps create a shaded outdoor setting for relaxing, dining and entertaining during suitable weather conditions.
However, shade does not eliminate all UV exposure. Direct and reflected sunlight can still reach people beneath and around the canopy, so additional sun protection remains important.
Side-Post Metal Frame with Eight Steel Support Ribs
The umbrella features a black metal frame supporting its octagonal canopy, with eight steel ribs forming the canopy support structure.
The side-post arrangement allows the canopy to extend over your chosen seating area without positioning the main pole directly underneath its centre.
With an overall height of 2.8m and a stated clearance height of 2.3m, the umbrella provides useful measurements when planning your outdoor space.
Allow sufficient clearance from walls, fences, rooflines, branches and surrounding furniture for the canopy’s full rotation.
Convenient Crank Opening and Closing
This grey 3m rotating umbrella includes a crank-operated opening mechanism.
The crank allows you to raise and lower the canopy according to the supplied user manual without manually lifting the complete canopy structure.
Before opening, ensure the umbrella is correctly assembled and securely installed with a compatible supporting base or approved anchoring arrangement.
Keep hands and fingers away from moving components during operation.
Umbrella Base Required – Not Included
Please note: This grey 3m cantilever umbrella does not include a base.
A compatible, adequately weighted cantilever base or manufacturer-approved anchoring arrangement must be purchased separately before use.
The selected supporting arrangement must be suitable for the umbrella’s side-post design and 3m canopy.
Do not assume that an ordinary centre-pole umbrella base provides sufficient support for a cantilever design.
Always check the manufacturer’s base compatibility and installation requirements before purchasing.

Water-Resistant Grey Polyester Canopy
The 180gsm polyester canopy is described by the supplier as water-resistant and wear-resistant.
The fabric can help manage light moisture exposure in suitable outdoor conditions. However, water resistance does not mean the canopy is completely waterproof.
Close the umbrella during heavy rain, strong winds, thunderstorms or severe weather.
Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions and allow the canopy to dry before prolonged storage.
Grey 3m Cantilever Umbrella for Alfresco Living
The grey canopy and contrasting black frame complement timber outdoor dining settings, contemporary metal furniture and neutral garden accessories.
Whether you’re updating a courtyard, furnishing a patio or creating a shaded garden lounge, the rotating side-post design provides flexibility when arranging outdoor shade.
Remember that a suitable cantilever base or approved anchoring arrangement is required separately before installation.
Assembly, Safety and Maintenance
- Assemble the umbrella according to the supplied user manual.
- Purchase a compatible, adequately weighted cantilever base or approved anchoring arrangement separately.
- Position the umbrella on a firm, stable and level surface.
- Ensure supporting fittings and locking mechanisms are correctly secured.
- Allow sufficient clearance for the fully open canopy and its 360-degree rotation.
- Operate the crank and rotation mechanisms carefully.
- Keep hands clear of moving joints and frame components.
- Close and secure the umbrella whenever it is unattended.
- Always close the canopy before strong winds, storms or severe weather.
- Do not assume a weighted base makes the umbrella windproof.
- Keep the canopy away from outdoor heaters, barbecues and open flames.
