The supplier describes it as a 3m side leisure umbrella with eight iron ribs and a 160G polyester canopy. Easy Life Markets sells it in two options: coffee without the bracket, and khaki with the bracket included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe photos show the usual layout for this type: a dark steel-coloured post standing on a cross base, a curved arm over the top, and the canopy hanging from a hub at the end of the arm. A crank handle sits on the post about halfway up. The canopy has a vent at the crown. Opening and closing are manual, as the supplier states, and the photos show the canopy folding down beside the post when it is closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing Between the Two Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease read this part before ordering, because the two options are not simply two colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoffee \/ No bracket included.\u003c\/strong\u003e The supplier's colour note describes this as light coffee \"without umbrella stand\", and the packing list for the listing reads \"1 x umbrella cloth\".

An offset design moves the post to one side, which leaves the space under the canopy clear. That suits a corner of the patio, a set of loungers by a pool or a seating area where you do not want to dodge a pole every time you stand up. The trade-off is weight: the base has to balance the canopy hanging off the arm, which is why the counterweight matters so much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSetting It Up\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose a flat, firm surface.
