Monterey 2.7m Octagonal Patio Umbrella
A patio umbrella with a genuinely useful trick: keep winding past fully open and the canopy tilts by itself. No buttons, no catches, no reaching up to release anything. 5.2 m² of shade that follows the sun across the afternoon.
Flexible fibreglass ribs are the other reason to pick this one. They bend in a gust rather than snapping, which is how most patio umbrellas end their life. A commercial grade crank handle does the winding.
Key Features
UNIQUE AUTO TILT
Keep winding past fully open and the canopy tilts automatically, no buttons or catches to fiddle with.
FLEXIBLE FIBREGLASS RIBS
Fibreglass ribs flex in a gust instead of snapping, which is what usually finishes off a patio umbrella.
COMMERCIAL GRADE CRANK
A commercial grade crank handle, geared for smooth one handed operation.
EVERYDAY PATIO SHADE
5.2m² of shade from a 2.7m octagonal canopy, the right size for a four to six seat outdoor table.
FREESTANDING
Designed to run on a freestanding base, so nothing needs fixing into the ground.

Care & Cleaning
Close and strap the canopy when the umbrella is not in use, and fold it neatly so the fabric does not rub in the same place every time. Rinse with clean water and a soft brush, and avoid harsh chemicals and bleach. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, keep the winding mechanism clean and dry, and store the umbrella closed and covered over winter or in extended bad weather.
