Frankford Monterey Umbrella

Fiberglass is exceptionally durable and flexible, allowing the ribs to bend in high winds without snapping or permanently deforming. It is also naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, making it an ideal choice for coastal environments or areas with frequent rain.

The pulley lift is a classic, manual operation that uses a rope and pin system, which is highly reliable and easy to maintain. The crank lift uses a mechanical gear system that requires less physical effort to open and close the canopy.

The auto-tilt function allows you to angle the canopy to block the sun as it moves across the sky. Once the umbrella is fully opened via the crank, continuing to turn the handle will automatically tilt the canopy to your desired position.

An 11-foot canopy is generous and typically provides excellent coverage for a 60-inch to 72-inch round or rectangular dining table. We recommend ensuring your patio space can accommodate the full diameter when the umbrella is extended.

While the fiberglass frame is designed for strength, we strongly recommend closing and securing the umbrella when not in use or during high winds. Leaving any large umbrella open in strong gusts can lead to damage or tipping, regardless of the frame material.

Most awning fabrics can be cleaned by brushing off loose dirt and washing with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water. Always allow the fabric to air dry completely before closing the umbrella to prevent mildew growth.
