Our natural market umbrella is light in color and adds a bright spot of cheerfulness to your outdoor dining experience. Our market umbrella frames are made of sturdy 8 ribbed tropical hardwood. With brass fittings throughout and a two pulley lifting system these umbrellas provide a great value found only in more expensive umbrellas. Canvas coverings are made of sturdy 8-ounce polyester canvas which are treated to resist stains and soil. Be sure to check out our sleek 30-punnd base to complete your selection.

Oxford Garden Design's market umbrella combines sophisticated design and superior manufacturing to please you and your guests for years to come. The polyester umbrella, 9 feet diameter, is reminiscent of those found at popular resorts or beach houses. In other words, this is one nice umbrella. It's protected by Scotchgard, which means rain, snow, and sleet bead up and roll off, spills can be wiped away easily, and the thick fabric remains soft and breathable. The 8-foot pole, made of dense, heavy Shorea wood, comes in two pieces. Simply lie the umbrella down, screw one part into the other, then stand it up. The eight-point frame inside the umbrella, also made of Shorea wood, comes securely attached to the umbrella. To remove the cover, pull it over the ends of the frame. A white rope pulley inside the umbrella raises and lowers it. Insert a metal stick at the end of the rope into one of four holes in the pole, depending on whether you want the umbrella narrow (partly open) or wide (fully open). Excess rope can be tied up or even cut off, and brass fittings throughout give this umbrella a finished look. A decorative wooden knob, matching the pole, comes with the package and can be screwed on top of the umbrella. The umbrella and pole together weigh 20 pounds. You will need to buy a stand for this market umbrella, but assembly takes only two minutes. It comes with a one-year warranty against structural failure or defects. --Rhonda Langdon
