SAFAVIEH 9-Foot Crank Patio Umbrella - Black & White Canopy, Tilt & Fade-Resistant Polyester

The SAFAVIEH Zimmerman 9-foot crank patio umbrella is a stylish, adjustable outdoor shade solution with a fade-resistant polyester canopy, tilt mechanism, and smooth crank operation.

Designed for patios, decks, poolside lounges, and backyard seating, the Zimmerman umbrella combines European-inspired detailing with practical outdoor performance. A lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum pole supports an eight-rib polyester canopy that opens to a 9-foot diameter and resists sun fading, while an integrated crank and tilt function let you fine-tune shade throughout the day. The umbrella pairs with a separately sold base for stable placement and requires simple assembly using the included hardware.

How does this umbrella make adjusting shade easier?

The Zimmerman uses an integrated crank to open and close the canopy smoothly, and a tilt mechanism to change the angle of coverage as the sun moves. Together these controls let you reposition shade quickly without moving heavy furniture or the entire umbrella base.

• Crank handle for effortless opening and closing
• Tilt feature to angle shade toward the sun
• Smooth operation reduces wear for everyday use

Will the canopy keep its color and shape outdoors?

The canopy is woven from polyester treated to resist fading from sun exposure and is supported by eight reinforced ribs that maintain its structure in light to moderate breezes. While built for regular outdoor use, simple care extends its life—rinsing with a hose and mild soap and storing or covering in the off-season prevents premature wear.

• Fade-resistant polyester for lasting color retention
• Eight reinforced ribs for stable canopy shape
• Aluminum pole resists corrosion and remains lightweight

What are the size and compatibility details I should know?

The canopy opens to a 9-foot diameter (approx. 100.8" wide and deep) with a total height near 98.8"; the pole itself measures roughly 103.1". The umbrella requires a separate base—either freestanding or table-mounted—so you can match weight and style to your setting.

• 9-foot canopy provides generous shade for seating sets
• Overall height close to 98.8" when open; pole length about 103.1"
• Base not included—choose a compatible base for stability

How do I care for and maintain the Zimmerman umbrella?

Routine maintenance is simple: rinse the canopy with a garden hose and mild soap when needed and allow it to air dry before closing. Store the umbrella indoors or use a protective cover during harsh weather or extended off-season periods to preserve fabric and hardware.

• Spot-clean canopy with mild soap and water
• Close and secure when not in use to protect mechanisms
• Cover or store indoors during winter or severe weather

Who is this for: The SAFAVIEH Zimmerman 9-foot crank patio umbrella is a good fit for homeowners and renters who want an attractive, adjustable shade solution that blends classic European styling with everyday functionality.
