SAFAVIEH 7.5-Foot Square Crank Patio Umbrella — Beige & White Canopy, Aluminum Pole, Decorative Valance

The SAFAVIEH Valance 7.5-foot square crank patio umbrella is a weather-ready outdoor shade solution with a decorative valance, easy crank lift, and a durable aluminum pole for patios, decks, and poolside areas.

This square crank umbrella combines practical sun protection with a classic decorative valance and neutral beige-and-white canopy to blend with many outdoor styles. Built with a lightweight corrosion-resistant aluminum pole and reinforced ribs, it opens and closes with a smooth crank mechanism and fits a range of seating areas where a compact but effective shade footprint is needed. The canopy’s polyester fabric resists fading, while the design is meant to be paired with an appropriate base (sold separately) and stored or covered during severe weather.

How large an area does this umbrella shade?

The canopy creates a roughly 7.5-foot square coverage that translates to a 9-foot diameter spread when fully open, giving comfortable shade for small table sets or lounge chairs. Its overall height and compact folded profile make it adaptable to different table heights and outdoor furniture arrangements.

• Canopy dimensions open to 90" wide x 90" deep (9-foot diameter)
• Overall height when open: 103.5"
• Closed dimensions: approximately 5.9" x 5.1" x 103.5"
• Aluminum pole length: 107.3" total

How easy is it to operate and maintain?

The umbrella uses a simple crank mechanism to raise and lower the canopy, making setup and daily use straightforward for almost any user. Routine care is minimal: wipe the polyester canopy with a damp cloth and avoid leaving it open in high winds to prolong fabric and frame life.

• Smooth crank lift for opening and closing
• Polyester canopy resists fading from sun exposure
• Lightweight, corrosion-protected aluminum pole for easy handling
• Recommended: cover or store indoors in off-season and during storms

Is this umbrella sturdy enough for outdoor conditions?

Designed for everyday outdoor use, the umbrella has four reinforced ribs to maintain canopy shape in light to moderate breezes and an aluminum pole that resists rust. It’s not intended as storm protection—use a compatible weighted base and close the canopy in strong winds or severe weather for safety and longevity.

• Four reinforced ribs for canopy stability
• Aluminum pole resists corrosion and keeps weight manageable
• Canopy fabric holds color season after season
• Umbrella base sold separately; proper base improves stability

What styles and spaces does this umbrella complement?

The neutral beige-and-white canopy with a decorative valance suits a wide variety of outdoor décors, from coastal and Mediterranean to modern casual patios. Its clean lines and subtle trim make it an easy match for dining sets, lounge areas, poolside chairs, and garden seating.

• Pairs with coastal, modern, transitional, and resort-style looks
• Works over small dining tables or lounge groupings
• Neutral tones coordinate with wood, metal, and wicker furnishings
• Decorative valance adds a finished, traditional touch
