I was wondering what type of material is the umbrella made out of and what weight is the fabric? Thanks

Seems to be a sunbrella type of fabric similar to what I have on my boat as sail covers. Not sure of the weight in ozs but is medium weight and holds up good in the sun.

I really dom't know what to say. Good strong material that blocks son well. Bought this same brand, same color (green) & size from this site 6 yrs. ago and just now replaced it. Still in working condition had just faded too much. CA. out all yr. round, never taken down & put away. Great Buy. I would buy again

I'm sorry...we had a tornado in our area and the umbrella was "gone with the wind"...it was very well made, fabric was durable, it worked well...unfortunately, in TX, when the wind comes, everything goes...we are planning to buy another one next summer when our yard is redone...we liked it

Keep in mind I would not recommend this umbrella. It is of extremely poor quality. But to answer your question, we used 2 cement pads (about 18 inches by 18 inches and 3 inches thick) to hold it in place. There is a lip on the base that the pads sit on. The pads are very heavy and worked great. Too bad the umbrella was junk.

I'm not sure of the weight, but our umbrella is huge and we were having all kinds of problems with it moving, tipping, etc. until we changed to this base.

Maybe four pounds total but it did not stand up to any type of wind resistance at the beach. I saw $10 walmart umbrellas that worked better.

This is a vinyl plastic material. Very thin and very flexible. The version we have has built in ribs to offer stronger support in the material. As in the materials capabilities, it stands up to UV and strong winds pretty good. Had it covering our pool all last summer and it kept form and shape very well.

I do not know the weight in grams, however I can say it does not block 100 percent of uv rays, I would say more on the 85 , 90 percent. It is a woven plastic (want to say PET, HDPE) but seems very strong, so I would say in between. We have had it for a summer, have left it up most times unless storms come in. Held up very nice. One other item, does not block rain from coming thru, but a good thing if you forget to take it down.

The base is a dark bronze - very rich looking. We just weighed it for you - 26 1/2 lbs. We used a spray can paint cap (used one same color as base) to put over the hole when the umbrella is not in use to keep rain out - fits perfectly! The base holds umbrella up - no tipping etc. Highly recommend!~

It's not so heavy, but I definitely would not use it at the beach. There are much better suited beach umbrellas.

Bonnie, it is lightweight. I use it every day here in Florida. I like it very much. It has a handy cloth carrying jacket with a sling that I put through my arm that weighs nothing. Also the fabric keeps the heat out, so it is nice and cool under the umbrella. I would suggest buying a metal sand anchor to go with it.

Not heavy enough to keep the umbrella (not supported by a table) from falling over when a stiff wind comes up!

Not sure of the material. But I think it is some synthetic like nylon. There are reinforcing braces all along the top just below the canopy. and there are braces leading up to the top. I use mine at least once a week, and find it great,, easy to put up and down,myself!. Also it is not to heavy for me to carry in it's own bag. It is not a thick braced heavy duty tent, but it is very worth the price!

The umbrella canvas material seems good and I haven't noticed any rips or cracks. The frame seems alright but I don't use it in real high wind situations.

Hi Patricia, I'm not sure what the technical requirements are for something to be called "breathable" but I'd describe it as a good quality woven material (no plastic). Seems durable and the whole umbrella seems of excellent quality but I've only had it for a couple of months. Hope this helps.

I don't know total weight but, believe me, mine has withstood very high winds. I live in Texas and we can have close to tornado strength winds with any given rain storm. My umbrella has never been off the base since it was installed. My grandson put it together for me and I don't know how to remove the umbrella. It is a fairly large base and holds a lot of water and you know how heavy a container of water can be.

It's made of weather-resistant canvas. I've never left it out while it's raining, because it's usually too windy then. They say you can Scotchguard it, too, but I didn't do that.

Hard question to answer but I would say it weighs about the same as a golf umbrella.It's very sturdy and you won't have anything poke a hole through it. I love it.

The total weight of the umbrella is probably less that 1 lb. It breaks down very easily, and works really well on cutting the ambient temperature. Watch out for the top stays on the wind flap. They have a tendency to get stuck, and easily snap. Mine broke and the company was very quick in sending a replacement umbrella. I highly recommend this item and company.
