Easy to set up, easy to stow away and does what it's supposed to - even at 5 bft. If there was more wind, I would replace the cords for attachment with rubber bands.
For us, as non-cake lovers, the right thing to sit in the shade even with a bit of wind without the crackling of the tarpaulin. With the size (1.7m) you need some space and 2 people to assemble the umbrella. With us, it ranges from the Schadeck to the large tree. The aluminum coating is a bit sensitive and can be lost if it comes into contact with metal edges - so some caution is required if you want to fully retain the UV protection.

Product conforms to its description. Good quality at a good price compared to the price charged in France. Very practical for enjoying your cockpit at anchor. To recommend.

Like a large umbrella but with two glass fiber rods, it is a lightweight but weakly built with the size of 2x2 meters. First of all the set-up - the set-up can be carried out in a short time. Put two glass fiber rods connected with rubber band together, like pushing the ends of the tent into a flap by means of eyelets. There is then a tension in the fabric that takes the form of a square umbrella. The sun protection is attached to the large tree with an eyelet. The silver-coated fabric repels the sun's rays well. It stays airy underneath. The tether lines are attached to the four corners. It is recommended to quickly replace the lines and tie reasonable knots. The glass fiber rods are too small for the size and quickly bring the sun protection to its limits in windy conditions.
