How do you collapse the unbrella?

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.

It is very easy, you just push a button like a regular umbrella. It is very compact and easy to store, yet provides the perfect amount of shade for 1-2 people.

Near the top of the umbrella pole, inside of the umbrella is a red rectangular button. Depress that button and pull down and the umbrella will collapse.

It is in two pieces. Umbrella collapses like any other one and the base telescopes and folds much like a photographers tripod.

It's hard to do at first because it's new but you just pull back on the stand where the gap is for your fingers. It took a few times of using it for it to behind easier to use. Then to close the a little stopper you have to lift the stand over before it will collapse. Hope that helps!

Twist the top off while pulling up. Simultaneously pull the bottom down with the other hand. It's tight, but unless you got one that was maybe squashed it shouldn't require a hammer.

The panels are together by the end pieces being bent to for a loop. I do not see how you could take them apart without either cutting the loop or unbending it (the latter of which I have not had any luck doing on something such as metal hangers). When I need to make mine smaller, I either fold a couple panels around the back side (making a flap) and bungee cord them closed, or I just make a smaller circle and bungee it closed. Seems these days, I use my bungee cord a lot. :D Hope this helps

The best way is to kneel on it and fold it in on itself as you go. It does take a little time.

You simply twist it holding the top and bottom and it will separate in the middle. Sometimes it's a little tricky but there should be an arrow indicating which way to twist it.

You can press a bracket at the time hold till you hear the "click" on both then you can fold down. It was challenging till we figured it out as well. Good Luck!!

It collapses and folds in half. That is as small as it gets. To lay flat it has to be opened up

It is very easy, don't get frustrated. On each side you will see where the rails come up, pull back on each, and it will collapse. Good luck

mine just collapses on itself and I fold the sections one way and then the other and use the strappy thing (great description) to hold it into a flat shape.

It closes very very easily. They're is literally no effort. Just lift the locking mechanism at the bottom and fold. Super easy.

It does not collapse. It is not meant to be to be something that is taken down and put up repeatedly.

Not sure what you mean by collapsible. The magnet is housed in a hard plastic case which doesn't collapse. But you can remove the antenna from the base. I just unplug the cable from the CB and remove the whole unit when I don't plan to use the CB, which is the whole purpose of using a mag mount.

Hold the bottom with one hand and the top with the other hand then turn the bottom or the top while holding the other part steady. Turn and pull apart at the same time. You have to pull and turn very hard. That removes the base then unscrew the glass container.

The one side will have a hinge. Push the round button on the middle of the hinge on both ends and that side of the rail will fold down. Hope this helps.

Unclip the two clips that secure carrier in folded position. Unzip the top flap.Reach inside the carrier on the long sides you will find metal poles that come from top corners. There is a plastic sheath on one pole from each side. Retract it and then put the metal parts of the poles end to end and let the plastic sheath spring back into place to hold poles together to form top sides of roof frame. Repeat on the other side. The first time you do it you may have to muscle it a bit but then it is not as hard because the fabric accomidates better.

to collapse it for storage, you pretty much have to take it apart but it goes together and comes apart in just a few simple steps. I did it myself in a couple minutes.
