A 7.2 ft polyester canopy on 8 steel ribs throws a wide circle of shade over two chairs at the shoreline. The sand anchor forms part of the pole rather than clamping on, so the umbrella twists straight down into wet sand and stays put once the onshore breeze picks up. The canopy angle adjusts through the day, following the sun from a morning slant to an afternoon lean. Everything breaks down into a 47 in carrying bag at 5.8 lb total, light enough to carry with a cooler in the other hand. A multi-purpose holder also ships in the box.
