Using this 13-foot blue polyester round patio umbrella is a piece of cake. Just use the manual lift to open it up when you want some sun protection during your outdoor gatherings. It's easy to close and store when not in use. When it comes to maintenance, you can simply wipe the polyester canopy with a damp cloth. Make sure to dry it thoroughly to prevent mold. Since the umbrella doesn't come with a stand, you'll need to get one that fits its size. And remember, although it's made to withstand different weather conditions, it's best to take it in during extremely harsh weather like strong storms or heavy snow. Enjoy your time outdoors with this stylish and functional umbrella!
