GRANDPATIO Outdoor 6x4 Ft Rectangular Balcony Umbrella, 360°Tilt & Rotation Flat Umbrella Shade, Red

good hardware, easy to install. opaque shade, so I can still somewhat see my surroundings, which I like. would recommend make sure you place the shade so it is INSIDE of your balcony so the wind doesn't catch it

It's not an umbrella, but that's not what we were looking for to use on a sunny balcony at our condominium. It set up easily, moves directions easily. We purchased a 50 lb. base and set it on a moving plant stand, which makes it easy to maneuver according to the sun's direction. It was a very good buy, and the price was right.

The umbrella was easy to install and adjust for sun coverage. In the southwest sun you can still feel the suns heat so it does not block all the sun but that is exactly what I was after. How well the fabric holds up only time will tell.

Opens easily, totally adjustable to all positions, can be used with bracelet on a Balcony and in an Umbrella Base.

We are happy to have this shade to block western sun, in the evenings, on our screened porch. Paired with a rolling base that came prefilled with cement, it solved a tricky problem. We bought the Natural White, which is a very light beige, and it blocks the sunlight effectively, without being distracting.

I want to say thank you to Jeremy on here, who reviewed and mentioned he used zipties to help attach to the balcony railing. I've been looking everywhere for "renter friendly" shade for my balcony, and Jeremy's review is the ONLY reason I selected this umbrella. I'm a single girl, living alone, and was able to easily set this up. I love it so much! Thank you Jeremy for the awesome idea.

Easy set-up, blocks sun well and shades well. Easy deployment and nightly stowage. This is a very good product. NOTE: Unless you want to strap it to a railing or use the tube interface they provided, all you have to do is drop the pole into your existing base, and you're in business. The pole for this unit is at least a quarter-inch smaller in diameter than the umbrella we had, so had to improvise a little to keep it from unwanted rotation due to breeze. I got a 1/4-20 knob with a two-inch stud to keep it from rotating.

Unfortunately it can only grout on a railing and is not very adaptable to different types of porches. The shade was not great due to lighter color (beige) but color was nice.

The umbrella spins or moves with just light breeze. It doesn't lock the position to stay and not rotate. It seems to stay tilted but not happy with spinning movement. You have to keep adjusting it. Too much work. Wanted to return it but it was too late.

I put this on my balcony and attached it to the railings bc they did not provide a base. It's only been up for a grand whopping total of 15 days and it has broken completely. Do not buy this unless you intend to use it indoors for decoration only. It is not at all functional.
