La Mesa Cove 13' Aruba Outdoor Curve Cantilever Umbrella with Base and Stand

This umbrella is well-suited for coastal and humid environments because the pole and curved frame are crafted from rust-proof, powder-coated aluminum. Aluminum naturally resists the corrosion often caused by salt air and moisture, while the bronze powder-coated finish adds an extra layer of protection and durability against the elements.

The canopy is constructed from 100% Sunbrella fabric, which is the industry standard for UV resistance. Unlike traditional fabrics that are only surface-dyed, Sunbrella fibers are solution-dyed to the core, ensuring the "Aruba" blue color remains vibrant and resists fading even under intense, direct sunlight. Additionally, the fabric provides 98% UV protection and is treated to resist mold and mildew.

Yes, this model offers high-performance adjustability to track the sun throughout the day. It features a foot pedal that allows for a full 360-degree rotation of the canopy and a front-to-back tilting mechanism that can be locked into your desired position. These features allow you to reposition the shade without having to move the weighted base.

Stability is a critical factor for offset umbrellas, and this model is engineered with a heavy-duty HDPE plastic base specifically designed to be filled with 400 pounds of sand. This significant counterweight provides the necessary ballast to support the large canopy. For safety and to prevent damage, we recommend keeping the umbrella closed during high winds or severe weather.

With a substantial 13-foot octagonal canopy, this cantilever umbrella is designed to provide flexible coverage for large outdoor areas, including rectangular dining tables up to 108 inches long. Because of its offset "curve" design, it can provide unobstructed shade over deep-seating sectionals or poolside loungers without the interference of a central pole.

To maintain the longevity of the Sunbrella fabric, our care guide recommends brushing off loose dirt regularly. for deeper cleaning, spray on a solution of mild soap and water, gently scrub with a soft bristle brush or sponge, and rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Always allow the fabric to air dry completely before closing the umbrella to prevent moisture from being trapped in the folds.
