Made in the shade! Our terrace faces SW across the city so the sun drenches the space for most of the day from spring to fall. We love to eat out here and for years tried to figure out how to provide shade to the narrow space. Who knew a half-umbrella existed!  It just arrived today and it's already up against the wall. With a strong umbrella base it should be nice and sturdy but for extra measure we'll attach it to the wall so it doesn't go flying down several floors in a crazy wind.  It's just what the space needed!
