In lieu of a shade sail…
We live in Arizona where the summer sun is unbearable, even when in the pool. After looking into getting a shade sail installed, we opted to get one of these umbrellas instead and it is perfect because it’s attractive, well built, and easy to operate. I especially like all the different ways it can be adjusted. We chose a base with wheels, so in addition to adjusting the umbrella as the sun moves, we can also easily roll it to be used in any area of our yard. Much more flexible and more economical than a shade sail.
