La Mesa Cove 13' Octagon Flax Outdoor Cantilever Umbrella with Base

Yes. To ensure longevity in various environments, the pole and stretchers are constructed from rust-proof powder-coated aluminum. This material is naturally resistant to corrosion, making it an excellent choice for humid climates or coastal homes with salt air. The pole also features a stunning teak-patterned finish, offering the classic look of wood with the maintenance-free durability of high-grade aluminum.

Based on our expertise with high-performance outdoor materials, we recommend a simple cleaning routine to maintain the Sunbrella fabric. Start by brushing off loose dirt, then spray on a solution of water and mild soap. Use a soft bristle brush or sponge to gently clean the surface, allow the solution to soak in, and then rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is removed. Always allow the fabric to air dry completely and avoid dry cleaning.

Stability is a primary feature of this model, which includes a heavy-duty base made of durable HDPE plastic designed to be sand-weighted up to 400 pounds. This significant weight provides the necessary counter-balance for the 13-foot offset arm. Additionally, the canopy features a front-to-back tilting mechanism that can be locked into place once your desired position is found, helping to keep the umbrella secure.

This umbrella is designed for effortless, versatile coverage. It features a user-friendly hand crank for opening and a foot pedal that allows the entire unit to rotate 360 degrees. Combined with the front-to-back tilting feature, you can easily track the sun's movement and maintain a shaded environment from morning to evening without moving the base.

This 13-foot octagonal canopy offers expansive shade, specifically designed to provide flexible coverage for rectangular outdoor dining tables up to 108 inches in length. Its cantilever design is ideal for large patios, as it allows you to position the canopy over your seating or dining area without the obstruction of a central pole.

The canopy is crafted from 100% Sunbrella fabric, which is the industry standard for high-performance outdoor textiles. Sunbrella is saturated with UV-stable pigments, making it highly resistant to fading and fabric degradation even in regions with intense, year-round sun. This ensures the flax beige color remains vibrant while providing high UV protection for those underneath.
