The Square Cantilever Offset Patio Umbrella with Crank Tilt and Cross Base (model OFS-CSQ-3000-ALU, unbranded) features a clean, functional cantilever silhouette that positions shade entirely to the side of its support structure, eliminating the center pole obstruction common to traditional patio umbrellas. The 3000mm square canopy sits at a total height of 2600mm, with a matte taupe underside and mesh-reinforced wind vent at its apex, paired with a matte gray powder-coated aluminum vertical pole and matching rectangular cantilever arms for a sleek, understated outdoor aesthetic. The galvanized steel cross base sits flush to paved surfaces, creating a low-profile foundation without bulky, protruding hardware. Durable, weather-resistant construction forms the core of the umbrella’s design. The 250gsm solution-dyed polyester canopy carries a PU water-repellent coating, with double-stitched seams for long-term durability, supported by 8 powder-coated steel ribs and reinforced joint brackets on the aluminum cantilever arms. The vertical pole measures 76mm in diameter with 1.8mm wall thickness, connected to the galvanized steel cross base via stainless steel bolts and locking knobs. The tilt and crank mechanism is housed in die-cast aluminum, with a steel crank handle and internal gear set, tested to support 3000 crank operating cycles with 5mm operating clearance for moving parts. The entire structure weighs 28kg without filled base weights. User-centric functions support flexible, easy shade adjustment. A foot-activated lock enables full 360-degree horizontal canopy rotation without repositioning the base, while the manual crank adjusts tilt up to 45 degrees from vertical across 5 preset locked positions to block low-angle sun, requiring 12 full rotations to smoothly open or close the canopy. The apex wind vent allows air flow to reduce uplift during gusty conditions, and the canopy attaches to ribs via fabric pockets and velcro straps for easy removal and machine washing. When properly anchored with 120kg of filled base weight across the cross base’s four compatible 30kg weight plates, the canopy delivers UPF 50+ UV protection, 300mm water column pressure resistance, and wind resistance up to 39 km/h, with coverage for up to 6 people. This umbrella suits a wide range of outdoor settings, including residential patios, backyards, and poolside lounge areas where it covers dining sets, seating groups, or hot tubs; commercial cafe sidewalk seating for small bistro table groupings; elevated balconies and rooftop terraces where permanent installation is not feasible; and temporary garden events such as parties or barbecues. It folds compactly for vertical off-season storage in garages or garden sheds. For procurement, note that the product ships in 2 cartons per set, with a gross shipping weight of 32kg, and requires 40 minutes of assembly per set with two people using included basic tools. A 20ft GP container holds 310 units, and purchasers must source compatible 30kg concrete or resin weight plates separately, as base weights are not included with the umbrella, to ensure rated wind stability during use.
