Does this umbrella tilt or rotate?

this umbrella does not tilt unfortunately. Source: owned it a few weeks so far. It will 'tilt' when the wind blows but there is no crank to tilt it. I wish there was.

Not really, you can adjust how it is by adjusting the arm and the umbrella will move but it is free motion when it is out like this and you cannot lock it to a certain tilt

Yes, it does tilt also. It is really a pretty piece and I am very happy with my purchase.

These features on my umbrella work o.k. The tilt mechanism is less then ideal because you need to release the top part ofthe umbrella for it to tilt. When yo look to close it you have to hold part of the umbrella. Push it up until it is back in lock position.

The umbrella can be adjusted up and down and can also be turned 360 degrees. It would be much more user friendly and effective if it were able to tilt. It works best midday when the sun is high, but morning and evening sun get in because of the angle.

When the umbrella is fully open the cranking lever will allow you to tilt the umbrella up to about 45 degrees. About 1/2 rotation with the lever will adjust the umbrella to a 45 degree angle. About a 1/4 crank will adjust the tilt to about 22 degrees, and so on. When the umbrella is fully tilted you will feel strong cranking resistance and you will know that the umbrella is at maximum tilt position. There is no "click" to let you know that the umbrella is fully tilted, but you don't need one. You will know by the "feel" of the crank lever and by the angle of the umbrella. It is a pretty smooth, easy to use mechanism and we are happy with ours. When the umbrella is fully open the cranking lever will allow you to tilt the umbrella up to about 45 degrees.

Yes, it rotates. It's quite adjustable. Especially when you have a car with an awkward dash.

If you continue to turn the crank after it the umbrella is fully open, the automatic tilt mechanism engages and you will see it tilting. The more you crank, the more it tilts. Yeah, it is amazing that Strathwood furniture did not think to include those simple instructions. I was reluctant to continue cranking for fear that i would break it.

No, this does not tilt, and does not cover a large area. But is enough for a small child, which is what we bought it for. It's a nice umbrella for the price.

Yes, Brad, it does tilt. It tilts from vertical to 5.5 degrees down to 22 degrees up.

No. It cannot be tilted. I would not recommend this umbrella. It is very poorly made.

I'm not sure if there are two different models or something, but the model I received (purchased January 9, 2014) tilts forward and back. Like another user posted, it doesn't rotate left and right, but it's light enough to easily turn when needed. I uploaded some pictures here to show: http://imgur.com/a/XdyvU

Yes it rotates. You lift it up to rotate the horizontal bar to several set positions around the main pole.

Yes it can tilt and screws into the sand and provides a solid anchor. Other umbrellas could not hold up to the ocean breezes as well as this one. We have had ours for four years.

Although the umbrella I have does not tilt I do not think the table would tip with a tilt umbrella. The table is very heavy and has a solid cast base.

No. It rotates, but does not tilt. Sits perfectly vertical. Excellent TV all round though.

It does not tilt as far as some umbrellas I have purchased years ago. It is approximately 45 degrees.
