In this video I share some of my experiences and learnings with our cantilever patio umbrella. These are great additions to any patio area. Just a few details to be aware of. This particular umbrella is a Sunnyglade, 10'x13' umbrella. I paid about $270 (May 2021) and I just noticed they go for $300 currently (May 2023) on Amazon.

Thank you! Fishpotpete
I’m sitting under my new umbrella watching this right now. Thanks for a great video
I purchased an umbrella like you have and haven’t used it yet but looking at your video it definitely helps to see it in use. Thanks
Awesome! Enjoy 🙂
What an amazing video! You have full descriptions spoken in a soft slow manner that made it easy to understand and answered any potential questions one might have. Thank you
Thank you! I really appreciate it 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to share this. Very helpful.
My Pleasure! I see so many videos about this is the best or that's the best. But there's really not that many videos that just tell you what to expect when you buy some of this stuff.
This was a very helpful video, before I was pretty nervous about all the movement from the wind, but I see that's to be expected and I can calm down😊. Thanks for sharing
I more or less got used to the movement. But it is something you're always aware of when it really gets moving!
Thanks for the review. Take care.
Thanks, you too!
Thank you so much! Your video is very easy to understand and I have made my decision to purchase based on your review. Thank you.
Do you know what model and size you're going with?
Thank you for your video. I learned several things that I had not thought of.
Glad it was helpful!

Great review
Great real world video, very informative.
Thank you!
Looked up this video because I just bought another style of cantilever umbrella that has an arm that swings back and now that I see your style it confirms--that’s what I need! Thanks! You have a beautiful property!
Thank you for the yard compliment!
May I ask which brand and model you bought? Thank you! Interested in the swing function
@@sisleywang5365 This particular umbrella in the video was a Sunnyglade, 10'x13' umbrella.
Thank you!
You are very welcomed!
Thanks for the video. Not sure I want to get one now seeing how easily they move.
That was one of the reasons I wanted to make this video. Even after a couple of years I'm still not totally comfortable when a big wind picks up! If it's a nice day, these things can't be beat. But if it's a blustery day, it's not worth the trouble. Just ask Winnie the Pooh 🙂
This was an excellent video, please tell us the brand model
It's a Sunnyglade from Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0854JD5G9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
do you know if you’re able to close the umbrella of the crank broke? ours fell over from the wind and the crank broke off
Jeez, well that's no fun! You might be able to clamp on to whatever is left of the crank with a vise-grip pliers or even a pipe wrench to get it closed up. If the entire crank handle broke off, there might still be enough of a nub sticking out of the mechanism to use vise-grips on. You might try to contact the manufactures site for a replacement crank - even if it was Amazon, there should be enough info to at least get you started on locating an actual company... maybe. Best of luck with that!
So what about severe hail storms because I sure get them where I live . Would it be able to survive one? Of course I would fold it in but still
Wow, that's iffy. If you have a cover, then you would PROBABLY be ok in even the worst ones. I know some of those bad hail storms we have here can really tear things up. Having said that, I haven't noticed hail damage on ours. For comparison, we had a sun sail shade up during the last bad hail storm and that material came out fine (as did our closed umbrella). It filled up the sun shade with hail from time to time until the wind blew it clean again. This was like a little larger than pea sized hail for that one. If your area routinely gets the severely dented cars and broken windshields kind of hail storms, then that might be a reason to avoid one of these. Otherwise, folding it up has worked fine for ours so far. Hope that helps!
@@fishpotpete hmmm idk what to think! Because last year was pretty bad. They were bigger than pea size . Definitely did a lot of damage. Maybe an awning would be better but I don't know how an awning would do rolled up hanging off your roof with hail. Well thank you very much for the response. I really appreciate it!
Hey did you know they invented the canoe too?!
I was looking for an 8x11 foot currently with extra and shipping comes in 1,428. 00 thats pretty steep
Is that in US dollars????? That doesn't sound right!
@@fishpotpete Yes and with no returns No way I'm going to bite
I'm thinking of buying one. Can you tell me how is it holding up nine months later? Thanks
So now that I've had it 2 seasons, it seems to be holding up fine!. I think the big thing is to keep it folded when you're not using it and keep it covered in the winter. I used mine several times a week (almost daily) when the weather was nice. I keep thinking the cord will break eventually - but it doesn't show any obvious wear and tear (of what I can see of it). I'm guessing at least one more summer (maybe 2?) before I have to replace the canvass. But the 2 year old original one really doesn't look bad at all. FYI - your mileage may vary 🙂
@@fishpotpete Thanks for all your input!
Do you have to take it down every day?
If you mean to crank it open and closed, then yes, it's a good idea and I would recommend it. If you were to get a wind storm in the middle of the night, you might not know it until you get up the next morning. If your local wind conditions are always calm, then you might be okay though. Once the umbrella is in the down position, it's very stable and can take extremely high winds (assuming the base is secured properly). We had 60-70 mph winds earlier this year and it did fine!
I find that my purple leaf is hard to turn although it is designed to turn 360 degrees. Anyone with similar experience.
thanks..what brand is this?
It's a "Sunnyglade" brand. Thanks for asking!
@@fishpotpete thanks :)
I don't think I've heard what kind it was you just mentioned how much you paid for it I wanted to know how big it was and what kind of umbrella it was if you wouldn't mind replying please
It's a Sunnyglade, 10'x13' umbrella. I paid about $270 (May 2021) and I just noticed they go for $300 currently (May 2023). I guess I left it out because I wanted to make it generic for all brands. But I'm glad you brought it up. I'm sure you're not the only person that wondered the same thing!
@@fishpotpete you said verbally it's an 8×10...looks bigger than that...
@@colettejaques2559 You're right! It's actually 13' x 10'. I added that in the description - but the description doesn't always show up depending on how you watch the video. Good catch!
Good info - thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
