can you tilt this Umbrella

No, but they have a model that looks like this one that does. Of course, it cost more. I love the quality of the unit.-Dave

No - and beware - the pole is thicker than the pole I had on my patio furniture. You should purchase the base for this umbrella. I like the umbrella, seems to be holding up (second season - I take it in for the winter). Does not tilt.

Yes and yes. It can tilt down, up, any direction you need and it is very, very sturdy, very heavy and very powerful. I use it to pull hot air out of the house and also to pull cool air into the house.

There is a pin to hold the raised umbrella in place. There are two positions, but they are almost exactly the same. It does not bend/angle or tilt at the top. You get what you pay for with this umbrella.

Yes, you can. There's a licking mechanism so you can tilt it as much as you like. We've had ours for a year out at our pool where ther is no shade and love it. It's a perfect size.

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.

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

I have two of these large umbrellas. The crank is smooth as silk on one, stiff on the other. Both tilt OK but these are so large that a tilted umbrella seems awkward so I don't tilt.

I had trouble with this as well. It's actually really easy, once you figure it out. Just keep cranking the umbrella up. When it gets to the point where it looks like it is fully open, when you crank it more, it starts to tilt.

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.

The pole's diameter is 2". The pole itself does not tilt BUT the arm is adjustable - I.e. can be moved up/down the pole and swiveled a 360 around the pole which results in tipping and angling the umbrella part to block the sun's rays.

No it does not tilt. Supposidly you can adjust the support arm so fully extended it will tilt open away from the support poll but I've had 3 of these and frankly they are a great product for the money. But to your question tilting... you can get to tilt, but it won't stay tilted in the wind. That is kind of a self-preservation saftey deal. The more it is tilted the more it acts like a sail or parachute! Neither is desirable. Something else, YOU MUST ANCHOR ALL OFFSET UMBRELLAS AND ALL OF THEM RECOMMEND YOU DO SO. WHY ANYONE WOULD THINK THEY WOULD STAND WITHOUT BEING ANCHORED IS BEYOND THE VOICE OF REASON. I mean extend your arms in front of you and lift one foot... how long can you stand in this pose? It's a fulcrum baby. That is what and offest is! But you don't have to bolt them. I've anchored 3 of them with just 4 patio pavers 12"square by 3" thick. I don't know if the skinny ones have enough wt. But the one I was most worried about the wind grabbin I just place 2 concrete foundation blocks stretching over the top of opposite legs resting on the patio pavers. I use these as covers over 3 person hot tubs on raining nights. Wind is always around if it is raining and I never lost one to the wind. BUT THEY DO HAVE TO BE ANCHORED !!! Hell a heavy wt. stumbling will knock them over it you don't anchor them.

They are on the small rectangular part of base, ans yes you can tilt and roll pretty easily with an umbrella installed

There is a cylindrical grip directly above the hand crank (this hand crank looks like a fishing pole crank and is what opens and closes the umbrella). After opening the umbrella with the hand crank, you twist the grip to tilt the umbrella. I forget if it's clockwise or counter clockwise but you'll figure it out with trial and error.

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.

An item like this would be a great tool. http://www.amazon.com/Bracket-Swivel-Umbrella-Tilting-Fancierstudio/dp/B003TYDBYQ/ref=pd_sim_p_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1RVZGPQCPXAJ01N1Z4ZQ Basically what I use. Just be weary of its flimsiness to the elements! Grab some sand bags or use indoors.
