Turn the smooth action crank to easily lift the canopy of this 9 ft patio umbrella. A push of the button near the top will activate the tilt feature. The market umbrella is crafted of high-grade polyester so the canopy fabric stands up beautifully to the elements. The sturdy but lightweight aluminum frame and 1-1/2 in Dia pole make the market umbrella easy to lift in and out of a standard stand.
