I have a narrow but long deck and the round umbrellas would not have worked for me. This one is perfect for my needs and since I’ve only had it a few days it is too early for me to talk about whether or not it will hold up to the weather. I bought another round umbrella made by this company before (ordered through Wayfair of course) and it has held up well in the year we have had it. The color did not fade at all and the fabric looks like new.
