Treasure Garden 13' Octagon AKZP Cantilever Umbrella with Bronze Frame

Treasure Garden 13′ AKZ PLUS Cantilever Umbrella Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of this 13′ cantilever umbrella?

This umbrella offers a large 13-foot diameter canopy (approximately 129 sq ft shade coverage) with a crank-lift mechanism for easy opening, full 360° rotation via a foot-pedal, and infinite front-to-back tilt along with side tilt at 18°, 36°, and 54°—providing highly flexible shade positioning.

What materials and build quality does it have?

The frame is powder-coated aluminum for rust and corrosion resistance; it uses a 100 % Kevlar mesh lift cord for strength and durability; the canopy is available in solution-dyed acrylic (Sunbrella) or high-grade polyester (O’Bravia) with fade warranties of 5 and 4 years respectively.

What base, installation and sizing considerations should I know?

Because this is a large offset (cantilever) umbrella, a substantial base or mount is required—minimum around 400 lbs of fillable weight or equivalent mount kit is recommended. Ensure your installation space allows the canopy to tilt and rotate freely without obstruction.

How should I maintain and care for this umbrella for best longevity?

Keep the canopy closed and secured when not in use or during high winds. Clean the frame and fabric regularly with mild soap and water; rinse thoroughly and air dry. Store or cover the umbrella off-season to prevent damage. Note that wind damage is **not** covered under the warranty.

What warranty and fade coverage does it offer?

The frame and mechanical components carry a 2-year limited warranty; the canopy fabric carries a 4-year fade warranty for O’Bravia or a 5-year fade warranty for Sunbrella/Outdura fabrics. Wind damage is excluded from the warranty.

Who is this umbrella best suited for and when might a different size or style be more appropriate?

This umbrella is ideal for homeowners with large patio or poolside areas needing expansive, adjustable shade coverage. If your space is compact, or you require a lighter or simpler umbrella, a smaller size or a center-pole model might be a better fit.

Does this umbrella come with a base?

No. The base is sold separately so you can choose what fits your space — a standard weighted base, a rolling base for mobility, or a mount kit for a concrete, ground, or wood installation. Whatever you choose, it needs to support at least 400 lbs.

Why does this umbrella need such a heavy base?

Because the pole sits off to the side instead of underneath the canopy, the base has to counterbalance the full weight and leverage of the umbrella on its own. That's why the recommended minimum is 400 lbs., well above what a standard center-pole market umbrella needs.

Can I add lights to this umbrella later?

Yes. It includes a built-in light adapter designed to fit Treasure Garden umbrella lights, so you can add evening lighting whenever you're ready without replacing the frame.

What's the difference between this and the Starlux version?

Both share the same frame, crank-lift, tilt, and rotation system, and both accept a light adapter. The Starlux version comes with LED light strips built directly into the ribs; this version doesn't include built-in lighting, though it's ready for the add-on Treasure Garden lights if you want them.

How does this umbrella perform in windy conditions?

The double wind vent lets air pass through the canopy instead of catching it, which helps keep the umbrella steady in a breeze. As with any cantilever umbrella, close the canopy in sustained high winds or storms.

Can I replace the fabric canopy later?

Yes. Replacement canopies are available across Treasure Garden's fabric line, so you can refresh the look without replacing the frame.
