AreShark 13 ft Rectangular Patio Umbrella with Solar Lights — Cream-White, Crank & UPF 50+ Waterproof

The AreShark 13 FT Patio Umbrella is an extra-large rectangular outdoor canopy with a crank lift and 48 solar-powered lights that provides day-long shade and evening ambiance for patios, poolsides, and decks.

This roomy 6.5 x 13 ft double-sided market umbrella creates up to about 85 sq ft of sheltered space and is engineered for easy use, weather resistance, and soft nighttime lighting. Built from UPF 50+ waterproof polyester, a powder-coated iron pole, and a reinforced 5+2+5 rib frame, it balances large-scale shade with practical features: a smooth crank, three airflow vents, integrated solar LEDs, and multiple stability options for windy conditions.

How much coverage does this umbrella give and what seating does it fit?

The rectangular canopy spans approximately 6.5 by 13 feet, producing roughly 85 square feet of shade—enough to cover most outdoor dining setups. Its shape is tailored to long tables and poolside loungers, offering shelter for groups and furniture.

What lighting and power features does it include for evening use?

This AreShark umbrella integrates 48 solar-powered LEDs mounted across each rib, creating a warm glow after sunset without wiring or outlet access. The lights charge in daylight and switch on automatically or via an accessible control depending on your preferred model behavior.

• 48 LEDs arranged across the ribs to evenly illuminate the canopy.
• Solar panels recharge during the day—no external electricity needed.
• Creates a soft, energy-efficient atmosphere for night gatherings.
• Lights are integrated to avoid obstructing the canopy’s look or function.

How durable and weather-resistant is the umbrella frame and fabric?

AreShark built this umbrella to stand up to seasonal outdoor use: the polyester canopy is treated for waterproofing and rated UPF 50+ to block harsh sun, while the metal hardware is powder-coated to resist corrosion. The 5+2+5 heavy-duty iron rib configuration and reinforced frame add stiffness to reduce sway in moderate winds.

• Canopy: fade-resistant polyester with waterproof coating and UPF 50+ protection.
• Frame: powder-coated iron pole and a 5+2+5 rib layout for extra support.
• Vents: three top vents improve airflow and lower wind pressure under the canopy.
• Stability: included cross base, reinforced fixed frame, and fillable weight bag.

Is it easy to set up and operate, and how does it handle wind?

Operation is straightforward thanks to a one-handed crank lift that opens and closes the canopy smoothly. For wind resilience, the umbrella pairs structural reinforcement with practical accessories—when anchored with the heavy-duty cross base and filled weight bag it’s engineered to perform in stronger gusts.

• Crank mechanism: quick, user-friendly lift and lower action.
• Top vents: reduce lift and increase stability in breezes.
• Anchoring: heavy-duty cross base plus fillable weight bag for secure placement.
• Designed to remain stable in winds over 40 mph when properly anchored.

Who this is for: Outdoor hosts and homeowners who need broad rectangular shade and evening lighting for dining, poolside lounging, or backyard entertaining. It suits people who want a roomy canopy that’s simple to operate, weather-resistant, and equipped with integrated solar LEDs—ideal for patios, porches, market stalls, and commercial outdoor seating where long-table coverage and nighttime ambiance matter.
