With the umbrella closed can one reach the crank without going under the umbrella?

You still have to reach up under the umbrella, once it starts opening, though you pretty much have to get all the way up under

With the handle in the 6 o'clock position, it is level with the edge of the umbrella. I have not found it to be a problem. A little lower would have been better, but it wasn't a deal killer for me at the price.

Just slip the umbrella onto the wooden frame. Remember to close the umbrella when you're done if you live in a windy area, otherwise you're going to have a broken umbrella!

Sure you could. Just use a hole saw to make the hole whatever diameter you need for the umbrella. (Drill bits would work too but not as clean)

As lkc said, there's a drawstring that can cinch it pretty close to the top. We bought two and used them on our market umbrellas that are on an elevated deck with no protection from the wind so we always close the umbrellas when we're not using them and it was never an issue.

The hole is sealed from getting wet. The only problem in no hand crank was provided.

I use my umbrella in the center hole of a patio table. When used this way the port where the power cord inserts in the pole is below the surface of the table and is not visible from above the table.

I believe so, but I can't access mine right now as it is stored for the winter. If I recall correctly, I think the tube "radius" may be increased via use of an (included?) dense foam pad between the tube and the umbrella holder, if necessary. Good luck!

My reached the ground on my 9 ft. umbrella, but I had to put it around the edge to do so. If you close the umbrella it will fall off.

The mast is made of two posts--an inner and an outer. The outer tube has a couple holes and the inner has a couple corresponding threaded holes. This allows you to turn the umbrella. Detaching the two on a regular basis isn't wise because of the awkward weight at the top (umbrella and cantilever).

Yes as long as the umbrella wasn't tilted and windy. I always put something heavy on the legs to help stabilize it when I tilt it.

Yes....but just make sure the drawstring on the top is "tight enough" -- so that it doesn't slide down the umbrella and come off. It might be a little "cumbersome" to continue to open and close the umbrella, though.

Not quite sure what you are asking. Once the umbrella is in place, in our case, there is no need to move it, but, if you can put on you can take it off.

push the handle on the pole down and turn the lever counter clockwise to close the umbrella

Yes, at least I found a way that works for me. I do not fill the bottom with water as this seems unnecessary. I rolled up the net from the bottom and used big clothes pegs to secure the rolled net to the sides of the umbrella. I used about 8 pegs, one for each section. Then every night I do this 'before' I take down the umbrella and then work in reverse when I put the umbrella back up. You should be able to figure this out yourself and it is pretty easy once you use the pegs.

There is a button/latch on the center pole that is depressed to lock and unlock the umbrella. Very similar mechanism to your smaller rain umbrellas.

The construction of the umbrella is sturdy and there is a wind vent built in. It is not likely to turn inside out but a firm grip on the handle would be advised. This is where I have issues with the handle shape, which I find somewhat awkward.

Whoops! I told you wrong!!! It's just above the the hand crank. Just twist the plastice cylinder and it will tilt the umbrella. Sorry for giving you the wrong answer the first time.
