Half Umbrella Outdoor Patio Shade - 9 ft Patio Umbrella with Easy Crank - Small Canopy for Balcony, Table, or Deck by Pure Garden (Maroon Red)

I have an east-facing window with direct "searing" morning sunlight that also contributes to solar heating of a small enclosed porch. Because this window has a beautiful view to the outside, I really hated to install blinds or curtains. I tried a traditional round umbrella, and it provided no real shade. However, THIS 9 ft half-umbrella in a beautiful shade of blue is a GAME CHANGER!! The umbrella pole is easy to assemble/disassemble, measuring 1.5 inches in diameter, with a solid fit in the base. The crank feature, rather than push up, is fantastic, allowing me to fully or partially extend for the sun angle. In addition to providing awesome shade from the sun, it looks great on the deck. The umbrella also helps to reduce the amount of solar heating in the porch, and it doesn't hide the view from the window. This umbrella is well made and a great deal. (I saw similar models online 2 an 3 times this price.) Even if I'm not outside, I am definitely enjoying this umbrella every morning!!

It’s exactly what we needed. It’s well made and sturdy. The crank works well and the umbrella opens smoothly and stays open. I got the teal and the color is beautiful. It doesn’t have a strap to hold it closed when it’s down, so that’s my only complaint. We’ve only had it for about a week so I don’t know how the color will hold up. The fabric provides good shade in a very sunny area. Price was great and I think I’ll get a second one soon.

This umbrella worked great on a outdoor deck that gets relentless sun. Along with the weight it was perfect for this balcony. Great coverage and durable.

Got this to replace the old one that its fabric got worn out from the L.A. sun and strong winds. Lasted 3.5 years. This one I just got, I noticed the fabric is much thinner which concerns me of durability. The pole and the skull is very durable. Very reasonable price. Nice color. It lost a star because of the fabric thinness.

Nice quality love the color and was delivered earlier than expected.

I can’t believe I moved a full sized umbrella around on my deck for three years for my southern facing patio door. Living in a windy place, it frequently tipped over too. This half shade umbrella has been so convenient, looks great, and has withstood Midwest winds. It’s done wonders to keep the summer sun off of my floors and help cool the house. I work from home and dislike using the a/c and it’s shade has given me an extra couple of hours with the windows open before I have to turn it on if it gets too hot. I was surprised that it didn’t come with a base so had to purchase that separately. We’re prone to summer storms in the afternoon so I either close it before they happen or haven’t kept it open if I have to leave the house to see it’s performance in a thunderstorm. Lightweight and easy to adjust up and down or pull backwards a bit to fully open and close since I have a sconce against the wall next to the patio door. Doesn’t sit quite flush but I haven’t played around with the assembly and it hasn’t changed it’s performance.

I received this item and three of the arms were bent, of those three arms, 2 poles looked crushed and flattened. I’ve had problems with this delivery previous to its final arrival so I’m not sweating it too much and just happy that I have it. The first order I got a massive pink yoga mat which is not at all what I ordered. The second time ordering I got the correct item, but it was damaged. I had to bend the poles by hand and straighten them and it seems to function as it should. For future buyers, be cautious when buying this because you might have issues.

I bought this for my patio door. Perfect for when you want shade but don’t want to commit to a full umbrella relationship. It does exactly what it promises—blocks the sun, saves my patio from becoming a frying pan, and looks surprisingly stylish doing it. Easy to set up, sturdy enough for normal breezes, and great for small spaces. My sunburns officially disapprove.
