Seven pounds makes this the lightest full-size market umbrella here, which changes how it gets used - it comes out for an afternoon and goes back in the shed rather than living on the patio. Eight metal ribs and a 2-tier vented top handle light winds while it is up. The canopy is 9.5 ft outer and 9 ft inner with 6.5 ft of headroom on a 1.5-in pole at 8.1 ft tall. Coffee-brown fabric is dark enough to hide the marks a frequently handled umbrella picks up.
