Wanted flexibility to move umbrella. You can rotate this umbrella with ease. Great design but the umbrella fabric seems on thin side as in many places you can see light. It seems like a nylon material. I dont have this with my other outdoor umbrellas. . Time will tell as to durability but would recommend it at this point.
The umbrellas is designed to sway in the wind and that it does. It is so large at 11x11 I would never leave it up if we were not using it for fear of it breaking in unexpected winds. We live near beach and gust can come up quickly. If you are shorter than 5ft 3 tout would be hard for you to open. I am that tall and standing in base can barely get it to top.
Easy to put up and maneuver
