Southern Casual Living Canopy Patio Umbrella Mosquito/Insect Screen & Netting Enclosure with Carrying Bag

UPDATE -- this has survived the dog entering and exiting, storms and high winds, and even tree limbs falling without penetration of the fabric. i love this thing. my last umbrella net barely made it through install before ripping in 10 places the net is thick and sturdy and will not tear like previous seasons of these did, i am super psyched about it. it came in a carrying pouch with install instructions! the others tear during install if not then by the first windy day. this has a cloth hemmed liner around the bottom with grommets placed every 6 or so inches. the problem with that is it blows more easily in winds, flying up and over furniture and allowing bugs access to your otherwise bug free interior. the carrying case contained spikes, which is nice but mine is installed on a wooden deck. so, essentially, the thing can't be secured or anchored to keep all bugs out guaranteed. also, the zipper, while a little flimsy according to other reviewers, i would say it's on par with other types of these nets. not bad at all really. the netting even seems to have pleats hemmed in it to allow better fit in the umbrella corners. tried to photograph the pleated corners without success, but on grass, i think it would help to make the entire structure that much more stable using the spikes below. the only odd thing is the very tiny hole you install your umbrella through. seemed quite fragile, but in reading, this net was designed for use seamlessly over this same companies solar topped umbrella. however, the company, Southern Casual Living, discontinued their market umbrella despite that it was the model the netting was designed to be used with. if the company is still manufacturing the umbrellas, i couldn't find them anywhere. but, if the quality is anything like this netting, i want one of them too. you won't be sorry but be aware of the 2 tiny caveats.

This is a very viable alternative to a screened in porch, which I can't afford. This goes right over the umbrella with table, and the chairs pulled out to sit in them, there is still room for comfort. The zipper is not flimsy, but it is hard to work. You just have to remember that zippers lock when both pulls are going down, which gravity accomplishes quite nicely, but again, makes the zipper a little clumsy. This has survived some pretty big wind gusts, but I did tie it up as others suggested with clips holding the bottom of the screen to the umbrella edge, folding the umbrella down, and then tied with a small rope to anchor it in the gale. Worked really well to keep those awful June bugs out of my presence. I would definitely buy this again, hopefully after a couple of seasons! Also came with a cute carry bag, and stakes to anchor it to the ground, but I have mine on the deck. I hold the bottom with bricks at 4 corners (could use 6, one for each spine of the umbrella) I am very happy with this product

I love this mosquito net, which came in a nice zippered pouch (doubt we can fit it back in neatly). It's so nice to be able to go on the patio and have a meal without feeding the bugs too. This net fits over our 9' market umbrella. The material at the bottom lays down on the ground. The zipper has a double pull, so you can open whether you're in or out, . As for installation, the instructions say to take the finial off your umbrella. I didn't want to take apart the umbrella. We were fortunate, the opening of the net is approx. 1-1/2" which was the size of our finial . We just placed the net over the finial. So far so good, but we haven't had any strong winds (we live in So. California and sometimes the Santa Ana winds can be strong). The netting is not flimsy, but we are still careful. NOTE: There are loose threads attached to the net which we are keeping in case of a tear.

Arrived in good condition and just as described. It fits my 9 foot umbrella with room to spare as it says it will fit up to 10 foot umbrella. The zipper works just fine on mine. I had no trouble setting it up alone. I love it and there is plenty of sitting room around the table without the net being right up against you. I just used a couple of bricks to hold down the seams of the net as I am on a concrete porch, but be careful not to snag the netting on the brick as the net catches easily on rough edges. I would buy this again and I would recommend this to anyone! The reason I chose this net over some of the others is because it completely incloses the umbrella with no openings at top. You can let the umbrella down and the net will not come off unless you take it off.

This canopy has some really positive aspects and one glaring negative that makes use so difficult that I cannot recommend it's use.Pros: Keeps bugs out, bottom stays down, fits over the entire top of the umbrellaCons: Terrible zipperWe placed this canopy over a 9ft umbrella that is 8ft tall - it is able to just cover our dining set  La-Z-Boy Outdoor 5 Piece Lake Como Wicker Patio Dining Set, Tan  which is a 54 inch table with significant chairs. There isn't much wiggle room left. Covering the entire umbrella is helpful because we are able to roll it up under the umbrella when not in use and used clips to hold the canopy in place when the umbrella is closed. Overall not to bad, until you try to enter and exit the canopy.The zipper is absolutely terrible, as a another reviewer has already pointed out. It came with gaps in the closed zipper and trying to move it is just impossible. With pliers and a struggle, we were able to close it and have to leave it closed, else the canopy would be entirely useless. To get in and out, we lift the canopy and rush under. It's a real shame because this could be an excellent product but I wouldn't gamble with the low quality zipper.

Bought this to cover our deck table umbrella. It works well to keep bugs out. However, very lightweight in the wind (as expected). The base can be secured as grommet holes and steel pegs are provided in the useful carry bag. The zipper is problematic, but self healing. This net is larger than our 10' market umbrella. Most outdoor umbrellas have 8 ribs, but the net is made with 6 corners so the fit is awkward.
