9' Octagon Signature 360° Tilt Umbrella

Yes! We recommend you follow these steps:

Step 1: Close the Umbrella - Fully close the canopy and secure it with a tie or strap to prevent it from opening while moving. If wet, allow the canopy to dry partially before closing to prevent mildew.

Step 2: Remove the Umbrella from the In-Ground Sleeve - Loosen any securing mechanism, such as screws or locking pins, that hold the umbrella pole in place. Carefully lift the umbrella straight up out of the sleeve to avoid damaging the pole or the sleeve insert.

Step 3: Dry the Umbrella Pole - Wipe down the pole with a dry cloth to remove any moisture or debris. If the pole was exposed to water or condensation inside the sleeve, let it air dry for a few minutes before placing it in the patio base.

Step 4: Inspect and Clean - Check the pole for any dirt, rust, or corrosion and clean it if necessary. If the canopy is damp, open it slightly and allow it to air dry completely before storage or extended use.

Step 5: Insert the Umbrella into the Patio Base - Place the umbrella pole into the patio base, ensuring it sits securely. Tighten the base’s locking mechanism (screws or clamps) to hold the umbrella firmly in place.

Step 6: Check Stability - Gently shake the umbrella to ensure it is stable and secure in the patio base. If necessary, adjust or add weight to the base for extra stability. Your umbrella is now ready for use in its new location!

Reducers are included in your order. They reduce the gap between the umbrella pole and the umbrella opening of your table.

Step 1: Check the Fit - Inspect the gap between the umbrella pole and the table’s umbrella hole. Identify the correct size reducer that best fits the gap. Two sizes are included in all Signature Umbrella orders (1.5" and 2").

Step 2: Insert the Reducer - Take the appropriate reducer and place it into the umbrella hole on the table. Ensure the reducer sits evenly and flush with the table surface.

Step 3: Insert the Umbrella Pole - Gently slide the umbrella pole into the hole with the reducer in place. Slowly lower the umbrella until it reaches the base or sits at the desired height.

Step 4: Adjust the Reducer - If the reducer shifts or is uneven, adjust it so that it sits flush with the table. Make sure the umbrella pole is centered and snug inside the reducer.

Step 5: Secure the Umbrella - If your table has a tightening knob or clamp underneath, tighten it to hold the umbrella pole firmly. If necessary, add a table ring or additional stabilizer to further minimize movement (available with a representative).

Step 6: Test for Stability - Gently shake the umbrella to check if it’s stable. If there’s still movement, recheck the fit of the reducer or consider using a heavier umbrella base for extra support. Your umbrella should now be securely positioned with reduced wobbling!

Depending on your base, it should tighten with a knob or come with a reducer that reduces the gap between your umbrella pole and the umbrella opening of your base.
