Designed and crafted in Belgium. Icarus Umbrellas feature an easy-to-operate sliding system to open, tilt, adjust, and close canopies. Canopies rotate 360 degrees, can be raised or lowered, and can be angled in a variety of positions for maximum sun shading and for use as a wind screen. All Icarus Umbrellas close horizontally and include custom-fit covers. Canopy fabrics are made from 100% solution-dyed acrylic that is weatherproof, mold- and mildew-resistant, and resistant to stains and fading. Umbrella frames are lightweight yet sturdy, made from all-weather, anodized aluminum and galvanized steel. All Icarus Umbrellas can be embedded into the ground or placed on a mobile base. Base and In-Ground Fitting are included. Base and In-Ground Fitting are made from galvanized steel. Base includes removeable wheels. Each base includes the pavers required to assemble the umbrella; eight large pavers (15.75" w x 15.75" d x 1.5" h) and four small pavers (11.75" w x 11.75" d x 1.5" h). Wood detailing on base is crafted from thermo-treated poplar wood and will weather to a beautiful, silvery-grey patina when exposed to the elements. This umbrella is designed to resist winds up to 54 MPH and should be collapsed when not in use.
