The CANOPY is manufactured from a 190T Polyester material offering a fine tight and very waterproof covering. We always ensure that the canopy is broad enough for maximum protection and this umbrella has a generous OVERSIZE canopy diameter of 1m large enough to keep you very dry indeed. The HOOK HANDLE is manufactured from REAL WOOD. (Please note that there is a protective clear film covering the handle which should be removed). This umbrella is AUTOMATIC meaning that at a touch of the button the canopy smoothly and firmly opens without trouble time and time again. The FRAME and SPOKES we specify incorporate FIBREGLASS which offers superb flexibility in strong weather ensuring that both the shaft and spokes  break or snap as many inferior umbrellas do. With eight ribs for extra strength. Walking Stick style. Closed Length of 100cm. Weight of 555g.
