Ace Evert Banana Offset Umbrella 8511, 10 ft, Polyester Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've only had this a few weeks. Assembly was straightforward except that I wound up with 2 extra parts at the end. I emailed the company & sent a photo of the missing parts. It turned out to be stuff I do not need from an older version of the product. They responded quickly to my email. Took me about an hour to set it up.

Note that this umbrella will not stand up on its own. You have to put a lot of weight on the base. You can buy a fancy plastic base that you fill with water. You can instead use landscape paving stones -- the 16x16 inch ones that run about $5 each at Home Despot. You need at least 4 of them. I used 6 because I was worried about the wind. The stand is made to nest these paving stones and it is a fine solution to weighting the base.

I bought it to use over the hot tub in the rain. I am pleased with the assembly, it covers the tub fine, it is attractive enough, easy to operate. If problems I'll post again this winter.

Editing a couple of months later... this umbrella has been great. I wish I could increase the rating to 4 stars but that doesn't seem to be an option when editing the review. I have used it in the rain and snow (not really what it's made for) and it's doing fine. It is quick and easy to unfold and set up and to fold up again.
