Two weeks ago we were hit with a Derecho (hurricane on land) that produced greater than 70 mph winds. The umbrella held up well and didnt suffer any damage whatsoever. We are using an umbrella base to help keep it in place and we make sure its closed after each use. Some reviewers described sun fade and that it wasnt waterproof. To avoid this, I sprayed a weather protectant on the inside and outside of the umbrella. So far, so good! We love how big it is and the amount of shade it makes!
Perfect with a little maintenance.
