Double-Sided Outdoor Umbrella

The umbrella is great. But the reviews on this page are not only about the 15 x 9 umbrella, it has reviews for all their products. When I was shopping, I was reading the reviews and saw several about the base. I kinda assumed the base was part of it. Well when I read more about this umbrella on the item description page, it specifically said it does not come with the base. Ok, my bad. So I went looking for a base. I did not see anything on the item page about the pole width, so I went to the reviews. The reviews said the main pole was 34mm, so I found a base for that size. Turns out that pole is for a DIFFERENT umbrella they sell. The pole is actually 47mm for this umbrella. So guess who has to go return an umbrella base... So don't be me - understand that the reviews are for different products!

This LOKATSE HOME 15 Ft Double Sided Outdoor Patio Umbrella is very good quality. It is sturdy with thick fabric, but the slightest breeze WILL tip over if not secured good enough.HOW I GOT IT TO STAND UP EASILYAt first I was going to fill a half barrel with cement with a pipe in the middle, and the rest with dirt for a flower planter, but that would be expensive and time consuming, and hard to move later. So, here is what I did…When I first got this umbrella, I noticed that its pipe was the exact same width as the pipe in the concrete Umbrella Stand that hardware stores used to sell, so it would NOT go into the Umbrella Stand. We have three of those stands, and no other way to put up a Patio Umbrella…So I got a very heavy steel pipe just a bit thinner than those pipes to put down through the center of the Umbrella Pole and Umbrella Stand pipe. That worked perfectly.HOWEVERThe very first day it was standing up on its own, a light breeze tipped it over. The concrete base was not heavy enough to stay flat. This is a VERY Top Heavy Umbrella, so it ALL tipped over.So I put it in the shed and didn’t get it out again until this year (when the air conditioner went out).I had already put eyebolts high in the wall above the patio for a shade I never put up, because the only place to hook the other side of the shade to is across the lawn, on a thick branch of a tree.Anyway, here is what I did…WHAT TO DOGet at least two of these Eyebolts (thick eye screws for wood) about this length and thickness, and painted to prevent rust and corrosion. And put them in the wall (if you own your home) or in the wood under the eves (always drill first) so they are WIDER apart than the Umbrella. You want them long enough so they don’t tear a chunk of wood out if there’s a strong wind. Thick enough so they don’t break off, and thin enough so they don’t leave a big hole.Then hook bungee cords with Carabiners from these to the frame under the Umbrella on both sides.https://www.amazon.com/Indoor-Outdoor-Tapping-Screws-Inches/dp/B0B4CT7FHX/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2BKYH6X3Z89Y9&keywords=black%2Beye%2Bbolts&qid=1662182338&sprefix=black%2Beye%2Bbolts%2Caps%2C337&sr=8-6&th=1https://www.amazon.com/XSTRAP-Bungee-Cords-Carabiners-inch/dp/B08BYHCV54/ref=sr_1_162_sspa?crid=1RI91X9KSI7EB&keywords=bungee+cord+with+carabiner&qid=1662182172&sprefix=bungee+cord+with+carabiner%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-162-spons&psc=1

I bought this product before I needed it and didn’t open it right away. I know you should always check things out but I have been really lucky I guess. When I opened it on one side the arms were bent. After I got them somewhat straightened the product worked well. This is probably more of a reminder to check your stuff out when you get it.

Estoy muy contenta con esta decisión, se pudo usar la manecilla para habrirla y cubrió el espacio exacto como yo quería, el tubo mide 2in y apenas le quedo a la base! La estructura parece muy confiable! La pedí color más claro pero este café quedó bien también

Looking awesome!

When we first receive our market umbrella it arrived dirty, had small holes and material was stretched in some areas (see photos). I wanted to exchange it at that time, but due to COVID, the company was all out of the product. So my husband said we should keep it as he loved the idea of an umbrella big enough for our outdoor table.We purchased this umbrella in mid-May, fast forward to today, the material has completely faded to a pink color (see photos). They advertise this product to be fade-resistant, yet in less than two months it has completely faded.Again we love the size of the umbrella and get a lot of compliments. We would like just to exchange it for a new one, but I have called the company twice and have left two messages only for them not to return my calls. Therefore, I do not recommend this product as it won't even last a month in the sun. Save your money and invest in a better product.

I had this same umbrella for 3 years. The only reason I had to buy a new one is because I didn’t keep it covered and the red faded. This time, I bought a cover to keep it nice!

The umbrella pole is too thin....looked like it was about to break. Kept turning which made it unscrew itself, had to keep tightening it as we sat underneath it eating. My suggestion is to make it one pole with stronger material possibly wood or steel. Umbrella size was great...covered and shaded the entire table and then some

Unlike the other reviews. This is by far the best base for a huge triple umbrella
