Create a comfortable outdoor shade arrangement with this grey rotating umbrella set, featuring a 3m octagonal UPF 50+ canopy, 360-degree rotation and an included four-plate water-fillable base. The side-post cantilever design keeps the main support pole away from the centre of the shaded area, making it suitable for patios, courtyards, gardens and alfresco dining spaces.
The grey 180gsm polyester canopy is supported by eight ribs and a black metal frame. A convenient crank mechanism allows you to open and close the umbrella, while the rotating canopy lets you change the direction of shade as the sun moves. A matching black four-plate water-fillable umbrella base is included.

Grey Rotating Umbrella Set with 360° Shade Adjustment
The 360-degree rotating mechanism allows you to change the canopy’s orientation as the sun moves throughout the day.
This feature is useful for outdoor dining areas, garden lounges and patios where you may need shade in different positions.
Rather than relocating the entire umbrella and weighted base, you can turn the canopy to help direct shade towards your preferred seating area.
Because the main supporting pole sits to the side, the area beneath the canopy remains more open for suitable outdoor furniture.
Always operate the rotation mechanism according to the supplied instructions and avoid making adjustments during windy conditions.
Grey 3m Octagonal Canopy 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 canopy material.
This makes the umbrella useful for creating shaded areas for relaxing, outdoor 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.
Four-Plate Water-Fillable Umbrella Base Included
This grey rotating umbrella set includes a matching black four-plate water-fillable base.
The base is made from polyethylene (PE) and consists of four individual plates designed to hold water ballast.
When correctly filled and installed, the plates add weight to the supporting arrangement.
Each plate includes a handle to help with positioning and relocation while empty.
The modular design allows the individual plates to be emptied before moving or storing the umbrella.
Always follow the manufacturer’s filling instructions and securely position all four plates before opening the canopy.
Although the filled base provides additional ballast, it does not make the umbrella windproof or suitable for strong winds.
Black Metal Frame with Eight Supporting Ribs
The umbrella features a black metal supporting frame with eight ribs beneath the octagonal canopy.
Its cantilever construction positions the main pole to one side, allowing the canopy to extend over your chosen seating or dining area.
The overall height is 2.8m, with a stated clearance height of 2.3m.
These measurements help you assess the available space before installation.
Allow adequate clearance from walls, fences, trees and rooflines for the fully opened canopy and its complete rotation.
Convenient Crank Opening and Closing
A crank-operated mechanism allows you to raise and lower the canopy according to the supplied user manual.
This offers a convenient alternative to manually lifting the canopy structure.
Before opening, ensure the umbrella is correctly assembled and the four-plate water-fillable base is securely installed and filled.
Keep hands and fingers clear of moving components during opening, closing and rotation.
Water-Resistant Grey Polyester Canopy
The grey 180gsm polyester canopy is described by the supplier as water-resistant and wear-resistant.
It can help manage light moisture exposure during suitable weather conditions. However, water-resistant material is not necessarily waterproof.
Do not rely on the umbrella for shelter during heavy rain, thunderstorms or severe weather.
Follow the manufacturer’s canopy-cleaning instructions and allow the fabric to dry before prolonged storage.
Grey Rotating Umbrella Set for Patios and Gardens
The grey canopy and contrasting black frame complement timber outdoor dining tables, modern metal garden furniture and neutral patio accessories.
Its rotating side-post design offers flexible shade positioning, while the included base provides a coordinated supporting arrangement.
Whether you’re furnishing a garden seating area, updating an outdoor lounge or creating a more comfortable alfresco dining space, this umbrella offers practical features for sunny days.
