Seven layers of natural thatch top this 8-ft tiki umbrella, turning a backyard bar, pool deck, or beach setup into a tropical palapa. The dense thatch blocks direct sun and cuts glare, while a polyester and PP underlayer sheds rain. Eight steel ribs and a 1.3-in steel pole carry the canopy, all powder coated to resist rust in salt air. Standing 7.3 ft tall, the umbrella clears standing guests, and the pole separates into two sections that push together by hand without tools. At 9.5 lb, it moves between a patio table and a beach event in one trip.
