Overview
A portable sun shade with a 60 inch tilting umbrella canopy on a telescoping tripod base adjustable from 3 to 8 feet tall. Includes built-in cup holders, S-hooks and ground stakes.
This is built around the tripod base rather than the canopy alone, which is what lets it stand on sand, grass or pavement without an umbrella table or pre-drilled hole. The tilt adjustment is meant to track the sun through the day rather than requiring you to move the whole stand. Included accessories (cup holders, S-hooks, ground stakes) point this toward beach and sideline use, where a stable, self-supporting stand matters more than a large canopy.
- 60 inch tilting canopy
- Tripod base adjusts 3 to 8 ft tall
- Blocks 98% of UV rays
- Includes stakes, cup holders and carry bag
Who it's for
Good for beachgoers, campers and anyone at sports sidelines who wants shade without a table, chair arm or umbrella base to clamp onto. Not a substitute for a large patio umbrella if you need shade for a full table setting.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Freestanding tripod needs no table or chair
- Tilts independently to track the sun
- Packs down into an included carry bag
- Built-in cup holders and S-hooks
- 60 inch canopy is compact, not table-sized shade
Performance notes
The telescoping tripod base adjusts from 3 to 8 feet, and a built-in sand screw at the base of the pole is meant to anchor it on loose ground; ground stakes are included for firmer surfaces. The 60 inch canopy tilts independently of the base height, letting you angle it against the sun without repositioning the whole stand. Fabric is rated to block 98 percent of UV rays, and the full setup folds down into an included carry bag.
