SAFAVIEH 9-Foot Crank Patio Umbrella — Baby Blue & White Canopy, Brown Aluminum Pole, Petal Valance

The SAFAVIEH Valance 9-Foot Crank Patio Umbrella is a crank-operated, decorative petal-valance umbrella with a fade-resistant polyester canopy and an aluminum pole that provides resort-style shade for patios, decks, and poolside areas.

This umbrella combines graceful detailing with practical outdoor performance. A lightweight aluminum pole and eight reinforced ribs support a roomy 9-foot canopy finished with a scalloped petal valance. The canopy’s polyester fabric is treated for color retention under sun exposure, while the smooth crank mechanism makes daily opening and closing straightforward. A base is required but sold separately, allowing you to pair the umbrella with a base suited to your deck, table, or freestanding stand.

How large is the shaded area and what are the umbrella’s dimensions?

The canopy opens to a 9-foot diameter, offering broad coverage for a small table, lounge chairs, or a poolside chaise grouping. The umbrella reaches an overall height just under 99 inches when fully assembled and collapses compactly for storage.

• Canopy diameter: 9 feet (approx. 100.8" wide x 100.8" deep)
• Overall height open: 98.8"
• Collapsed dimensions: 6.1" x 6.1" x 98.8"
• Aluminum pole length: 103.1" (full pole measurement)

How does the canopy hold up outdoors and resist fading?

The canopy is woven from polyester selected for outdoor use and treated to better maintain color under regular sun exposure. Eight reinforced ribs distribute tension evenly so the canopy keeps its shape in light to moderate breezes, while the aluminum pole is corrosion-resistant for routine outdoor conditions.

• Polyester fabric resists sun fading for long-term color retention
• Eight reinforced ribs for improved canopy stability
• Lightweight aluminum pole that resists corrosion
• Recommended: use a compatible base and lower/store in severe weather

How easy is it to open, close, and maintain this umbrella?

Operation relies on a built-in crank that raises and lowers the canopy smoothly, making it simple to adjust shade throughout the day. Assembly requires the included hardware, and routine care is minimal: rinse the fabric as needed with mild soap and water and store or cover the umbrella during off-season months.

• Smooth crank mechanism for effortless opening and closing
• Assembly required with included fasteners and instructions
• Care: mild soap rinse; cover or store indoors in winter
• Base sold separately—choose a compatible standing or table base

• Style match: coastal, resort, Mediterranean, traditional, and casual
