Pottery Barn Outdoor Patio Umbrella

No, the base is sold separately. Because this is a large, 10-foot umbrella, we recommend pairing it with a heavy-duty base that can accommodate a 2-inch pole diameter to ensure stability.

The pulley system uses a rope to raise the canopy smoothly, and a metal pin is then inserted into the pre-drilled holes in the teak pole to lock the umbrella at your desired height. It is a classic, manual mechanism that is reliable and easy to operate.

Yes, Sunbrella acrylic is an industry standard for outdoor furniture. It is engineered to resist fading, mildew, and water, making it highly durable against the elements, though we recommend closing the umbrella during severe storms or high winds.

Like all natural teak, the pole will gradually develop a silvery-gray patina when exposed to outdoor elements. If you prefer to maintain the original honey-brown color, you can apply a teak sealer or oil periodically.

The umbrella stands 8.75 feet tall with a 10-foot wide canopy. Ensure you have enough vertical clearance on your patio and enough horizontal space to accommodate the rectangular footprint, especially if placing it near walls or other structures.

The vent at the top of the canopy allows gusts of wind to pass through rather than catching underneath the fabric. This significantly reduces the risk of the umbrella tipping over or being damaged during breezy conditions.
