FREE SOLDIER 13ft Double-Sided Patio Umbrella, Navy with Solar LED Lights — Crank & Tilt, Rust-Resistant Steel Ribs

Bring lasting shade and soft evening light to your outdoor living space with this oversized navy patio umbrella from FREE SOLDIER. Designed for decks, patios, poolside lounges, cafés and commercial terraces, the umbrella combines a 13-foot span of coverage with an eco-friendly solar lighting system so the space stays usable from daytime through night. Built components focus on weather resistance and ease of use: polyester fabric treated for UV and water resistance, a heavy-duty center pole with crank operation, and 12 steel ribs to maintain canopy shape and stability.

How much shade does this 13ft double-sided umbrella provide?

The umbrella creates a large shaded footprint suitable for seating groups or covering a dining set. Its double-sided design maximizes canopy width while keeping a relatively low profile.

• Shaded area roughly equivalent to 13 ft × 6.5 ft × 7.8 ft (L × W × H)
• Large enough to cover a dining table and several chairs or two lounge chairs
• Double-sided canopy improves coverage over single-sided umbrellas

How do the solar lights work and how long do they run?

The umbrella uses a top-mounted solar panel to store energy in an internal battery that powers 36 built-in LEDs. Place the umbrella in direct sun for a full-day charge to power evening illumination without needing cords.

• Solar panel charges after 9–12 hours of outdoor sun exposure
• 36 LEDs evenly distributed under the canopy for ambient nighttime light
• On/off switch on the center pole for simple control

Is it easy to open, tilt and secure the umbrella?

Yes — the umbrella opens and tilts with a manual crank and tilt mechanism designed for quick, one-person operation. The heavy-duty pole and threaded assembly simplify setup and provide a sturdy mount when used with an appropriate base.

• Crank handle opens and closes the canopy smoothly in seconds
• Tilt function lets you angle the canopy to block low sun
• Screw-in pole design for straightforward assembly (base not included)

What materials and build details make this umbrella durable?

Construction focuses on outdoor longevity: rust-resistant steel ribs, a rugged center pole, and solution-dyed polyester fabric that resists fading and sheds water. Those elements combine to preserve appearance and function season after season when used and stored properly.

• 12 rust-proof steel ribs for improved canopy stability
• Polyester canopy with UV resistance and water-repellent finish
• Robust center pole and fittings designed for repeated use
