Seaport 9' Octagon Flax Outdoor Umbrella

This octagonal market umbrella provides approximately 108 inches of coverage, making it the ideal choice for shading patio dining tables up to 54 inches in diameter. Our experts recommend that a canopy should extend at least two feet beyond the edge of your table to ensure all guests remain comfortably in the shade throughout their meal.

Adjusting your shade is effortless thanks to the integrated auto-tilt mechanism. By simply rotating the crank handle, a high-strength 100% Kevlar® lift cord—a material chosen for its incredible durability and resistance to fraying—powers the umbrella into a full tilt position. This allows you to track the sun and maintain consistent shade without manual lifting or complex pins.

This umbrella is crafted with high-performance Sunbrella® fabric, which provides 98% UV protection. Sunbrella is industry-renowned for its durability and colorfastness; unlike standard polyester, it is solution-dyed to the core, ensuring the flax color remains vibrant and resists fading even in regions with intense, year-round sun exposure.

This umbrella features a 100% Kevlar® lift cord, the same high-performance material used in heavy-duty safety equipment. While standard nylon cords can stretch or snap over time with repeated use, the Kevlar cord provides superior strength and longevity, ensuring the crank and tilt mechanism remains smooth and reliable for years of daily operation.

Yes. The frame is constructed from sturdy aluminum with a powder-coated bronze finish, making it naturally resistant to the rust and corrosion often caused by salt air or high humidity. Additionally, the Sunbrella fabric is specifically engineered to resist the growth of mold and mildew, which is essential for maintaining a clean appearance in damp environments.

To preserve the longevity of the fabric, our care guide recommends regularly brushing off loose dirt and cleaning with a simple solution of mild soap and lukewarm water. Use a soft bristle brush or sponge to allow the solution to soak in, then rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is removed. To prevent mildew, always allow the canopy to air dry completely before closing or covering it.
