Innovative with great design, this Total Sun Block 8' Extreme Shade Beach Umbrella has a square design for even more coverage. Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation for its UPF 50+ rating, the 8' umbrella is both striking and skin-smart. Made with our total sun block fabric, it's lab tested to block 99. 8% UVA and UVB rays and is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation. Protect yourself from the sun's harmful rays while you're at the beach, the lakefront, or watching a sporting event from the sidelines. The large shade umbrella weighs only 9 lbs., making it lightweight and portable for your outdoor activities. A convenient carry bag with shoulder strap is included to transport and store your umbrella. Use it in 2 positions as a leaning shelter or a traditional umbrella. As an umbrella, it has a heavy duty center pole and extra strong steel ribs, making this a durable and stable shade solution. The wind vent on the top of the umbrella adds additional stability and prevents the umbrella from falling over. When not using as an umbrella, it can be used as a leaning sun shelter to help protect you from the sun, wind, and the elements. A zip-up mesh window allows for extra ventilation. To secure the umbrella, use the unique sand/turf anchor system. Secure your umbrella in the sand or ground with no additional tools.
