Garden Balsam Patio Umbrella Cover for 9ft to 13ft Offset Umbrella, Water Resistant, Curved Cantilever and Straight Pole Parasol Outdoor Umbrellas Cover with Zipper and Rod

When this arrived it appeared to be exactly what we had hoped for. Once on the umbrella mast it turned out to be just the right size and was super easy to put on. It secures well on the bottom to hold tight. This will keep our new umbrella fresh and undamaged over the winter.

It is doing good so far

I am revising my earlier review (below) as despite my initial misgivings the cover has proved to be waterproof, phew. I won't know about the durability / longevity of the fabric for at least a year, so I'm giving the item five stars for now.Only two stars so far as I'm not sure whether the fabric will prove to be "water resistant" (listing title) or "waterproof" (about this item / 6th listing photo). See photos: the second photo shows the inside of the fabric, which feels lighter than I expected and doesn't scream "waterproof" to me. Time and a strong downpour will tell. As you can see, the cover fits beautifully - I'd thought it might be a bit long but happily it's not - and it appears to be very well made. If the cover proves to be waterproof then I'll revise my review and give it five stars.

No idea how it will last over time but perfectly fit my umbrella and looks great.

We bought this Garden Balsum umbrella cover for the Purple Leaf 9' cantilever umbrella we just bought here at amazon. It's a beautiful thing! One of the best things I've bought at amazon in a long time (and I buy a LOT of stuff at amazon). It's impressively made: thick, waterproof, UV protected material (in a dark gray that exactly matches our umbrella, even though it's from a different manufacturer). It has a hefty, full-length zipper and a draw string bottom as well.It's designed for umbrellas of various sizes and styles. It comes in a nice zippered bag, with an extendable pole to allow you to hoist the cover onto the top of any large, tall umbrella whose top reaches well above your head. (The pole is roughly four feet long extended, and telescopes into itself down to barely a foot.)Since a large cantilever umbrella with a water/sand tank base is so big and heavy, once it's in position it's not really movable. That could be a problem for an umbrella that's out all year in a four-season climate, with wind and snowstorms in winter and wind and thunderstorms in summer. This cover, however, offers excellent protection for the entire umbrella, it's poles and mechanisms, top to bottom. So I'm no longer worried about what to do with the umbrella when winter comes.One more thing. This cover is not made by the company that made our umbrella. The umbrella company's covers cost literally twice as much as this one did, but this one certainly doesn't skimp on quality.
