This umbrella makes the Texas heat bearable!! This offers so much coverage. It is great quality and sturdy. It comes with sand bag covers and are unseen under the base cover. it has solar powered lights all throughout the top, and a crank to openclose it so easily. I LOVE this umbrella. Now I am excited to get my backyard summer ready!!! I added a picture of my 61 husband to show you all the room there is when its fully extended.
