OMG, I love this umbrella even more after watching your video. We have a patio which gets very hot in the summer here in Washington state. We sometimes do nighttime astronomical observing which limits what we can purchase to shade this patio. Thanks for the nice vid and thanks to your dad for helping!
Thank you so much for your time and kindness to show us your very clear direction to set up this wonderful umbrella. I'm a woman who has height challenging :-) and I did it by myself 🤔👍😄
Melanie Anne I just found out the umbrella cover missing from my box. Is it included or you buy it separately? If it's included I need to call them. Thanks!
Filled the 4 base pieces with water, worked perfectly fine. Here in AZ no worries of freezing....good to go. Ordered ours for 4th of July 2022, of course it came a day late, and no cover was included. FYI
Just scored this at my local Costco! Last one, $549.99 in store!! No cover though fyi. Great video and you guys messed up the vertical bolts. Just move the umbrella up and it locks into place, I put it together myself. Thank you very much for the video it helped!
I was Supposed To Have Ordered This Style Umbrella For My Wife Yesterday She Wanted The Home-Depot Version (Hampton Bay)For $399. The One You Have From Costco Seems Much Better In Overall Design From The Base To The Added Usb Port. How Much Was Your Model And Are You Still Very Happy With It . Thank You For A Very Well Put together Video.
hello, this is very helpful. I have a quick questions, what's the length of the umbrella in that shipping box? I was trying to see if I can pick it up in my SUV. Thanks a lot for your help!
How do you fill up with sand in that little hole? Seems like using water is easier. The one I have used sand bags with huge openings for the sand, easy fill. Should come with provisions for moving the base in case you don't want it permanently located but none of them do.
it took us a long time to fill it up. we used a funnel with a wide opening. you could used water but if it freezes then the base could crack. thanks for watching
I used water in mine, I don’t live in an area where it gets below freezing in winter. It is very stable with just water. However like stated above if you live in area where it freezes use sand or dump water before winter.
Hi…is the fabric water resistant and can I still use it if it’s raining? Most importantly, does it ever looks like it might fall off? My patio is a top terrace and also have glass around. Thanks
Question, what did you fill the 4 base pieces with? I used water and then had to suck it out with a shop.vac and small tube. Was awful, seems there are chambers within each plastic box. How did you fill it also? Thanks
we put water in them at first and then quickly changed our minds. We ended up filling them with very dry sand. it works really well but it took some time to fill because of the small hole in each base. make sure that it is very dry. hope this helps:) thanks for watching
I just purchased my Umbrella from Costco but it did not come with a cover and it looks like yours did. Do you know if it was supposed to come with a cover?
Thank you for this video. I have a few questions if you don't mind. We can't figure out how to tilt the canopy. Also even though we used 5 50 lbs bags of sand, there are still hollow spaces when you stand on the base. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
the handle on the side when lifted up will tilt it down and moving the handle down will tilt it up. you could add more sand if you think you will need it, but you have 250 lbs holding it down. hope this helps :)
we bought ours last year (2020) and it came with it. You are the second person to say that the cover wasn't included, maybe it is sold by its self now. :( Thanks for watching
Bought one 3 days ago and there wasn't a cover either. For the price of this I find that to be unacceptable. I also wish the base had wheels and the umbrella actually tilted. I would not purchase again.
Hello, my deck is about same size as this video maybe a bit bigger by a few feet (12x15). Did the umbrella tap the walls when it swayed in the wind? Debating whether to go with a 10ft or the 11ft from Costco. Thanks in advance!
We dont put it that close to the wall. The height of the umbrella is almost as high as our gutters, so we try to keep it away from that whole side of the building. It does move a bit in the wind for sure but not as much as you may think. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching
Susan, Thanks for all the comments :) you could try calling the manufacture and ask, mine was bought a few years ago and it came with the cover. Hope you are enjoying sitting in the shade it provides . we love ours :)
@@MelandTim Unfortunately, They do not have customer support by phone, and the website is not much better. Is it possible for you to tell me the measurements of your cover, length ad widest part, sos I can find a cover from another company? I hope it is not too much trouble. We live in the desert, and we must have a cover for the hot sun. Thank you.
try some thing like this aax-us-iad.amazon.com/x/c/RLez0dkUk3OsOoArTV778ggAAAGCuuh2RQEAAAH0AQBOL0EgICAgICAgICAgICBOL0EgICAgICAgICAgICD_eWW_/www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4HYXZC/ref=syn_sd_onsite_desktop_394?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pf_rd_p=5c55e0e0-f5c0-453f-9e09-b9634a2dc83a&pf_rd_r=Z2ZBAD7PK7HAC69M14PG&pd_rd_wg=bymIS&pd_rd_w=2lmOu&pd_rd_r=e3cdf425-7490-4233-bc7e-af87d4081563
in fact instructions says 50 pounds of sand, then « water to wet the sand » ( same umbrella, not led) But it will freeze in winter....so sand only if you live north. Or with water and antifreeze....
@@MelandTim no worries. Each block of base takes around 50 lbs of sand. I would recommend people reading this comment use dry sand instead of play sand bcoz wet sand is hard to fill up.
Hello, I just watched your 2 videos on the umbrella from Costco. We are finally having a front porch deck built on our home . Because it's a mobile Home we don't want the weight of a roof. Can you tell me the name of this umbrella and roughly how much it cost? Our deck will be 14×8 will this fit or can you suggest one that would. Thank you !
i am going to post a video on this. but for now lift the handle up and remove the to bolts with an allen key, you should be able to lift the umbrella out of the bottom half. next remove the 4 base parts exposing the 4 bolt that hold the center part on to the cross parts. undo those bolts. hope this helps
ruclips.net/video/pqjPgoEqiCI/видео.html Has anyone had an issue like this? (In video) the arm attachment seems to slip out of the position it is supposed to be. It did not do this for the first month of ownership so I don't think it should be that way as it causes the canvas to bunch up above it.

The bases are so huge. I opted to drill through my wood deck with lag bolts and lock washer. Great looking deck and job guys.
Great idea! Thanks :)

Mine two sandbags ripped from the summer heat, couldn't hold water. Trying to install rollers to move it around.

Hi…is the fabric water resistant and can I still use it if it’s raining? Most importantly, does it ever looks like it might fall off? My patio is a top terrace and also have glass around. Thanks
if it is a light rain yes, but if it gets windy i would close it up. it is very sturdy. hope this helps :)
The fabric is NOT water resistant you have to take it off when it rains....😵💫
Very helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video? Does it tilt on its axis (left or right) when open?
Yes it does

Have fun and enjoy, we love ours!
How's the three year durability? I'm looking at a similar one.
Its holding up pretty well. we cover ours when it is nit in use and put it in the garage for the winter. Thanks for watching :)

fun video, but why did you cut right from opened, to the collapsed umbrella?
not sure, but check out this video it may show more of what you are trying to see:)
ruclips.net/video/BHH5pLioTOM/видео.html
How does it hold so far ?
great! I think its the 3rd year and we still love it :) thanks foe watching
@@MelandTim Thank you !
There is a deal at Costco right now with $100 off. I'm going to grab one this week.
Did you just buy this umbrella this season. This was exactly what I was looking for and wanted your initial opinion
just bought it on May 15th. The base is a little bigger then I would like it but over all I am happy with it
Any issues with it swaying from low wind? I had a cantilever that swayed into the home with the littlest winds but it was cheap.. this one looks solid
It moves a little but not more than an inch. We try to keep it about a foot from the house just incase. Thanks for watching
What’s the cost for this umbrella with the base?
it was around 800 cdn
Thank you. We have a 12X10 front patio is perfect.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching

Would this shield you from rain?
I wouldnt use it for that, Its more for shade.
Its a sunbrella material and it is waterproof...as long as the rain is coming down and not blowing sideways....you would be fine.
Where can I buy a cover for the umbrella? Thank you

Did you buy the cover in other place?
no ours came with it
Why sand ? Who says ? At Cosco they used water.
you can use what ever you want. i said what was in the instructions. thanks for watching
Melanie Anne thanks. I didn’t read it yet. Makes sense, cause sand is much heavier than water and inside cosco there is no wind.
in fact instructions says 50 pounds of sand, then « water to wet the sand » ( same umbrella, not led) But it will freeze in winter....so sand only if you live north. Or with water and antifreeze....
@@patledoc Unless you live in the southwest
How many bags of sand did you end up using? Also did you fully fill the bases with the sand or did partial filing?
we had left over sand from another project and we filled them full. hope that helps :)
@@MelandTim no worries. Each block of base takes around 50 lbs of sand. I would recommend people reading this comment use dry sand instead of play sand bcoz wet sand is hard to fill up.

Seasons Sentry 3.35 m (11 ft.) we paid around 900 CDN. in the description of the video are some other types from amazon. thanks for the comment :)
Did you have to move your deck furniture to open and close the umbrella?
no it titls enough so we didn't need to
I can't get the umberella to open. I checked the inside and there is nothing constraining it like a zip tie. Can anyone help?
is it the crank?
@@MelandTim turns out the umbrella arms were tangled underneath. I had to look under and separate them - then they freely opened. They work gteat
Does it turn 360
yes it can all the way around:) some times we have it out over the grass and sit down there.
What winds can this handle
I am not to sure. We only open it when we are sitting under it and if it is starting to sway a lot we close it up. Thanks for watching
When the wind starts to blow....take it down...why risk it?
Hi, do you know how to disassemble the umbrella for winter?
i am going to post a video on this. but for now lift the handle up and remove the to bolts with an allen key, you should be able to lift the umbrella out of the bottom half. next remove the 4 base parts exposing the 4 bolt that hold the center part on to the cross parts. undo those bolts. hope this helps
