La Mesa Cove 10' Square Navy Outdoor Cantilever Umbrella with Base and Stand

This umbrella is an ideal choice for coastal homes or humid climates. The pole and stand are constructed from rust-proof powder-coated aluminum, a material that naturally resists the corrosive effects of salt air and moisture better than steel. Furthermore, the Sunbrella fabric is specifically engineered to be breathable while resisting the growth of mold and mildew, ensuring it remains clean and durable in damp conditions.

This umbrella includes a 50-pound sand-weighted base designed to provide essential stability for the offset design. Because cantilever styles experience more leverage from the wind than standard market umbrellas, a robust weighted stand is critical. For optimal safety, especially in open areas prone to sudden gusts, we recommend ensuring the base is fully weighted and closing the canopy whenever the umbrella is not in use.

To provide versatile, all-day coverage, this umbrella features 360-degree rotation operated by a convenient foot pedal, allowing you to swing the canopy to different seating zones without moving the base. It also includes an impressive front-to-back tilting feature, which is essential for blocking the low-angle sun in the early morning or late afternoon.

A 10-foot square canopy offers approximately 100 square feet of shade, providing more consistent coverage for modern furniture layouts like outdoor sectionals or rectangular dining tables. The square shape maximizes shade at the corners, where round umbrellas often taper off, making it a preferred choice for creating a defined, room-like feel on a larger patio or deck.

Yes, the canopy is crafted from 100% Sunbrella fabric, which is the industry leader for outdoor performance. Unlike standard polyester, Sunbrella uses solution-dyed acrylic yarns where the color is saturated to the core of every fiber. This construction makes the navy fabric exceptionally resistant to fading and UV degradation, allowing it to maintain its vibrant color while providing a high 98% UV protection rating.

Based on our expertise with Sunbrella materials, the canopy is designed for easy maintenance. For general cleaning, simply brush off loose dirt and wash with a solution of mild soap and lukewarm water. Because the fabric is water-resistant, we recommend allowing the canopy to air dry completely in an open position before closing it to prevent any trapped moisture. For tougher stains, Sunbrella fabric is durable enough to withstand a diluted bleach solution without losing its color.
