11 ft Offset Hanging Cantilever Patio Umbrella w/ Solar Light

This umbrella is nearly perfect! It is very sturdy, from top to base. Easy to assemble, easy to open and close (my 5'4" wife can open and close it with ease), provides a lot of shade (11' is enough for 3 or 4 chairs) and looks good. The fabric blocks the sun completely, and looks like it will last for years. What great quality for <$200! My only adjustment was the base. Bolts are provided to anchor it to a wood platform, or you can order the plastic base set that you fill with water or sand. I wanted to put mine beside a pond, and didn't think the plastic base would be adequate, so i got 4 threaded rods (½" x 18") with nuts and washers from Lowe's, drilled 4 holes in the ends of the base cross, and drove them into the ground. Now it should withstand any breeze. 5 year update: After strong winds locally measured at over 30mph (I forgot to close the umbrella in advance) I was amazed to see the umbrella (which is bolted to the ground) still open and undamaged. Still as good as new, no tears or damage, still works as smoothly as when new
