A patio umbrella only earns its keep if it can handle real wind and still look good doing it, and that's where this 9.7 ft umbrella works hardest. Its three-tier vented top is designed to let air pass through the canopy instead of pushing against it like a sail, so it stays put over the dinner table on breezy evenings. Eight ribs and a powder-coated steel pole give the frame real backbone, while the UPF 30+, 180 gsm polyester canopy keeps the table shaded instead of just dim. A hand crank makes opening and closing a one-handed job, and the built-in tilt lets you chase the shade as the sun moves without dragging furniture around. At night, 32 solar LED beads along the ribs light themselves up automatically, so you don't need string lights to keep dinner going after dark. The canopy spans 116.9 inches and the umbrella stands 99.6 inches tall; because it isn't freestanding, plan on a table with a center hole or a base rated for about 77 pounds. Finished in classic black, it fits nearly any outdoor decor.
