BELLEZE Patio Umbrella 10 Ft Offset Cantilever Umbrella Outdoor Market Hanging Umbrellas and Crank w. Cross Base, Gray

Love It! Love It! Love It! It's a great product for a reasonable price. Gives plenty of shade on my 12x6 deck, PLUS now I can sit outside while it's raining too! There are some things shoppers should know about this huge hanging patio umbrella. --- 1st --- Pay attention to the box contents when unpacking the umbrella. The umbrella section might be shipped undocked from the hinged collar and you will see a white cable. Do NOT allow that cable to get twisted or crimped. Keep it straight by slightly pulling a little excess cable through the hinged part of the collar and dock the umbrella back into the collar. The spring-loaded fasteners will make a nice crisp snapping sound indicating the umbrella and cable are secure and ready for further setup. --- 2nd --- The instructions may be wrong. The illustration showing the bottom base pole being mounted to the T-cross may show the adjustment knobs oriented to the Left. This is incorrect! The top pole cannot seat into the base pole properly like that. So, the knobs should be oriented to face the front or back instead. --- 3rd --- A weighted base package does NOT come with this umbrella, and I don't see any available on the Belleze website either. So, you might have to be creative at securing the T-cross, which depends on where you will be using the umbrella. In my case I'm using the umbrella on a wooden deck. My solution was easy ... Drill holes into the T-cross where surface meets surface and secure the base with wood screws. Worked great! --- If it were concrete, then I would have used anchor bolts into the concrete, maybe 4 or 5 of them. Or maybe I would build my own sandbox weight with wheels so I could move the umbrella around. --- If it were plain ground, then I would have used ground anchor stakes PLUS sand bags. Just some extra ideas. --- 4th --- Be aware the hanging umbrella is going to behave like a 10 ft sail in the wind. I've seen it rocking, twisting and swaying pretty good on breezy days and it's still holding together, but I'm folding and tying it down for strong wind. --- 5th --- The umbrella only has a basic built-in tie strap. The strap is only for going around the umbrella itself. You may need an additional securing method to tie the umbrella to the pole and make sure it doesn't swing when down. The only other solution is to remove the entire top pole / umbrella assembly and bring it indoors, which is no fun, because it's a heavy and awkward thing. --- Overall, if you don't mind the extra setup procedures, then this is an AWESOME DEAL!

The assembly instructions are only pictures, no words and it is a bit difficult to assemble this product. Took me half a day to figure out how to properly assemble the umbrella because the pictures are confusing for assembling the piece that attaches to the base. The umbrella seems to be of good quality and I would buy it again.
