Know before you buy
This enclosure is designed to fit both standard market umbrellas and hanging cantilever umbrellas ranging from 9ft to 11ft in diameter. As long as your umbrella falls within this size range, the slip-over design should accommodate the frame.
The base of the netting includes eight removable pouches that you can fill with sand, rocks, or gravel. These weights provide enough tension to keep the screen grounded and prevent it from flapping during light breezes.
The polyester mesh is tightly woven to block insects, but it is thin enough to maintain good visibility and airflow. You will still be able to see out clearly and enjoy a breeze while staying protected.
The slip-over installation is straightforward and can typically be managed by one person. You simply drape the netting over the top of your closed umbrella and secure the base, though having a second person to help reach the top of a tall cantilever umbrella can make the process faster.
While the polyester mesh is durable, it is best to take it down during severe storms or if you plan to leave your patio unused for an extended period. Storing it away during the off-season will significantly extend the life of the material and the zipper.
