Instahut 3m Outdoor Umbrella with Base

Our Review

Sometimes you don't need a fancy cantilever umbrella — you need a solid, reliable patio umbrella that opens easily and provides shade where you need it. The Instahut delivers exactly that with an elegant 3m canopy in waterproof and UV-resistant 160gsm polyester fabric. The crank-lift mechanism means no wrestling with a stiff pole mechanism, and the tilt function lets you angle the canopy as the sun moves. Importantly, this model comes with a heavy-duty PE plastic base included — most umbrellas don't, and you end up spending another $80 on a base. The entire steel frame including all 8-rib supports are powder-coated for toughness. Instahut is an Australian brand with easy-to-reach support.
