"My purpose is to keep the pine needles off my seating area."
"Doesn't look awful, I just hate sellers doing this kind of thing and counting on customers not wanting to deal with the return process when they don't get what they expected."

"It has a tough metal center pole, steel ribs under the umbrella, strong fabric, crank handle, tilt button on the top, weather resistant material, 9 ft canopy shape top, over 8 ft tall, and I got the wonderful red color which is kind of dark red that matches the walls, fountain and the round concrete costume made table and bench set (tropical peach) in my front courtyard. It is simply gorgeous, classy and specifically made for perfectionist high class taste of people who seek finer outdoor furniture."
"It was not going to be delivered until July 8 but I wrote and asked if possible could it be delivered by July 4th."
"The material seems very durable and gives you good amount of sun shade."
"We also ordered the matching base for the umbrella, and together the set is sturdy, and provides good shade."
"A very nice patio umbrella."
"I just wish I'd ordered a larger size, but I thought a larger size would be too large."
"I would definitely buy again, love the tilt feature and the sturdy wench that opens and closes the umbrella."

"The design of this umbrella is perfect for the beach with the bottom securing directly into the sand via an attached screw."
"Umbrella is wobbly in the sand even when buried to the maximum recommended point."
"matches the chairs we got."
"For those of us that live and die by the sea, this completes the happy little trilogy when added to two beach chairs. It's easier if you put the anchor side in the bag first so that you don't accidentally stab someone while carrying it because the anchor is pointy and will stick out of the bag otherwise. -It also makes a perfect companion to the Tommy Bahama beach chairs which have cutouts in them on the arm for an extra anchor-the pole will stay put more in the hole in addition to the ground anchor."
"It does hold up to the wind but it could use some tie-downs because the auger is not strong enough to keep it from being pushed over by the wind."
"I've used a Tommy Bahama beach umbrella for the last 3 years without any problems. The new model of this umbrella barely lasted a month before the sand screw which is now hollow or much weaker plastic than before twisted into an unusable shape rather than dig into the sand."
"I contacted Tommy Bahama complaining that their umbrella was poorly designed and they told me to take my complaint to Costco."

"We ordered this awning for our deck mainly because our husky likes to hang out in the deck during the day and it's sizzling hot out there especially this time of the year. This awning is affordable and inexpensive compared to sunsetter and probably local shops doing custom made awning."

"Ended up buying quarter inch bolts to mount to wood instead of what was in the box..."
"Easy to install."
"We put this up last fall."

Also forgot to mention that we put elbow PVC fittings with caps on the ends so that the pipe wouldn't slide off of the hooks."
"For the top and bottom, I was able to turn it up a couple of inches and hem it on my sewing machine, leaving a pocket for a tension rod at the top and a dowel at the bottom. I then hung it inside the window frame, as close as possible to the window, and the dowel at the bottom rests on the windowsill and holds the fabric straight. For our metal back door, I used strong magnets to stick the fabric directly to the door."
"But my pergola is 18 feet wide and I only ordered one 15-foot roll of shade fabric, so there's a 3-foot gap on one side (as can be seen in the attached photos). For my second project, I used black Coolaroo Medium Shade Fabric and Scotch Permanent Outdoor Mounting Tape to try to prevent passersby from being able to see into my home through my security screen door. The third photo shows the view from the outside, standing at an angle where you can still see my sliding glass patio door leading to the backyard."
"The fabric definitely helps with heat reduction while still allowing some light to filter through."

"We recently put a pool and deck in our backyard that is in full sun all day long."
"Used used springs and s-hooks from lowes for the install to save a few bucks but worked great."
"I have purchased 2 sun shade sails in the past which I have been more than pleased with, quality,strength and price."

"Fits both of my unbrellas great, heavy duty material."
"Very nice quality, better material than the canopy itself."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I ended up researching umbellas and decided to buy the Bub, seeing as it had excellent reviews. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because when you fasten the ring to the base of the umbrella, you are supposed to create dents in the pole - I guess that's how you tightly secure the ri g to the pile in which you attach the base to - I was worried about the integrity of the pole after that, but it's held up and it's fantastic."
"It comes with a carry bag that fits it all in there: the umbrella and pole, the lower pole, the base, 2 rings (one for the base, one for hooks to hang things), a shovel, and a wrench thingy. You put the base down, shovel sand on it, stick the base pole in, hook the flaps of the base onto the ring with the hooks, put the umbrella into the base pole and you're done. After using the sand anchors where you have to dig/screw them into the sand, moving those was more of a chore."
"I am using this umbrella often, and waiting for the windy day to come that I will be the only one with the umbrella still up."
"It also comes with hooks on the main shaft to help hold towels and cameras off the ground, you don't want on the sand."
"Easy to use and can't wait to try again."
"I wish it angled but it is really a great product."
"On our first day at the beach this year we put it up."
"I was looking for a sturdy beach umbrella that would stand up on a windy day."
