11' Round Aluminum Market Umbrella with Crank Lift & Tilt - Bronze Pole - Pacific Blue - Perfect for Patio, Poolside, and Outdoor Dining Areas

Ordered a couple of these. Finally arrived with a card providing user instructions. Looks like something you'd hang on a hotel room door as a "Do Not Disturb" sign. Do yourself a favor and read this. If you didn't get it (my first one did not arrive with these instructions) here is how it reads:USER INSTRUCTIONS(1) Before cranking open your umbrella, gently pull apart the ribs and make sure they are separated into their natural position.(2) Umbrella must be standing in a straight position before cranking open with the handle. Crank the umbrella CLOCKWISE to an open position, stop before the hub reaches the stopper.CAUTION:DO NOT OVERCRANK THE HANDLE!!(3) To tilt the Umbrella Canopy, Use the Collar housing above the Crank open handle. Turn it CLOCKWISE around the pole to tilt the Canopy, and stop at the desired degree of tilt. Turn Housing COUNTER CLOCKWISE to return Canopy to its straight position.(4) To Close Umbrella, MAKE SURE THE CANOPY IS NOT TILTED, then Crank the handle COUNTER CLOCKWISE to close the Umbrella.The last bit was confusing. In regards to tilting the umbrella, directly above the crank handle there's a plastic nub. This nub is round with notches for grip. Turn this "nub" CLOCKWISE to tilt the umbrella. The umbrella only tilts in one direction, but the pole has some 3 holes where you can rotate the umbrella so that the tilt is in the direction you need it to be.Hope this helps someone. The pole's diameter is a standard size. Meaning it is equal to every umbrella I've ever seen. It will fit into a standard table hole and a standard stand (stands come with sizers. Great umbrella.
