FLAME&SHADE 9 ft Patio Umbrella — 108-inch Aqua Blue Canopy, Tilt & Vent, 200gsm Waterproof

The FLAME&SHADE 9 ft two-tier patio umbrella in aqua blue is a durable, tilt-adjustable outdoor umbrella that provides wide UV-blocking shade and wind-vented cooling for tables seating 4–6 people.

This 108-inch canopy combines a dual-tier vented design with a 200gsm waterproof fabric and robust alloy ribs to offer reliable sun and light-rain protection for patios, decks, and gardens. Its crank lift and tilt mechanism make opening, closing, and angling the canopy simple, while the two-tier vent helps reduce lift in breezy conditions and promotes airflow for a more comfortable shaded area.

How much shade and what table size does this umbrella cover?

The 9 ft (108-inch) canopy casts a broad circle of shade suitable for most round or square dining tables that seat 4–6. It’s sized to cover table diameters around 42–54 inches, creating a comfortable sun-free zone for meals and gatherings.

• 108-inch diameter canopy shields a 42–54 inch table
• Fits 4–6 chairs comfortably
• Two-tier vent improves airflow under the canopy

Will this umbrella protect against sun and light rain?

Yes — the canopy uses a 200gsm waterproof coating for dependable sun protection and water resistance. The fabric blocks the majority of UV exposure and sheds light rain, making it suitable for everyday outdoor use when weather is unpredictable.

• 200gsm waterproof fabric with strong UV-blocking performance
• Coating reduces sun penetration and water seepage
• Recommended for sun protection and light showers, not heavy storms

How durable and wind-ready is the frame?

The umbrella is built with eight heavy-duty alloy ribs and a 1.5-inch straight pole for improved stability and long service life. The dual-tier canopy vent allows hot air and gusts to escape, which reduces strain on the frame in breezy conditions; still, anchoring with a compatible base is advised for windy environments.

• 8 alloy ribs for reinforced canopy support
• 1.5-inch straight pole for sturdy vertical support
• Vent design helps prevent lift and pressure buildup

How easy is it to operate and maintain?

Operation is user-friendly thanks to a smooth crank lift and an adjustable tilt mechanism that provides quick canopy positioning. For upkeep, use the matching umbrella cover to protect fabric and hardware from dust, rain, and winter conditions, prolonging the umbrella’s lifespan.

• Simple crank mechanism for effortless opening and closing
• Tilt adjustment for angled shade as the sun moves
• Optional cover available to keep the umbrella clean and dry
