The hanging umbrella is an alternative to the traditional garden umbrella. It is free standing, requiring 4x 12kg(minimum) weights on the bottom to hold securely, and it can therefore be used anywhere in the garden. Ideal to put over a hot tub, BBQ or a table and chairs set, to protect from the sun or rain. The umbrella has a highly durable and corrosion resistant construction, making it suitable for the outdoors. Note: Weights not included. - Charles Bentley 3m Hanging Banana Cantilever Patio Garden Umbrella in Black
