Treasure Garden 13' Octagon Starlux AKZP Cantilever Umbrella with Bronze Frame

Treasure Garden 13′ Starlux AKZ PLUS Cantilever Umbrella – Bronze Frame Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Treasure Garden 13′ Starlux AKZ PLUS Cantilever Umbrella and where should it be used?

This umbrella is a sophisticated, large-scale cantilever shade solution featuring a 13-foot (approx.) canopy, designed to cover roughly 129 sq ft of outdoor area. It’s ideal for patios, pool decks, dining spaces or other large outdoor settings where you want premium shade and versatile positioning.

What are the key features, materials and specifications?

Key features: powder-coated aluminum frame (Bronze or Black finish), 100% Kevlar mesh lift cord, built-in light strips in the ribs (LED, low/high settings ~20,000 hour lifespan) for evening ambiance. It offers infinite front-to-back tilt and left-to-right tilt up to 54°, plus full 360° rotation via foot pedal. Coverage is ~129 sq ft; canopy diameter ~13′; open height ~120.78″. Minimum recommended base weight: 400 lbs.

What’s included and what additional items do I need to purchase?

No, the base is sold separately. This gives you the flexibility to choose a standard weighted base, a rolling base for mobility, or a permanent mount kit for concrete, ground, or wood installation — as long as it's rated for the 400 lb minimum.

Does this umbrella come with a base or stand?

No, the base is sold separately. This gives you the flexibility to choose a standard weighted base, a rolling base for mobility, or a permanent mount kit for concrete, ground, or wood installation — as long as it's rated for the 400 lb minimum.

How do I install, operate and maintain the umbrella for best performance?

Installation requires a stable base or mount, filling or anchoring to meet the recommended weight. Use the crank lift to open/close the canopy. Use the foot pedal to rotate the umbrella and employ the tilt functions to follow the sun. Maintenance is easy: hose off the canopy, clean the frame with mild soap and water, avoid using during high winds, store or cover when not in use. Wind damage is **not** covered under warranty.

What warranty coverage and support are available?

For residential use, the frame and accessories are covered for 2 years under limited warranty (for the Starlux AKZ PLUS Cantilever style). Fabric warranties vary: for example, O’Bravia fabric has a 4-year fade warranty, Sunbrella/Outdura acrylic fabrics a 5-year fade warranty. Wind damage, rust or cosmetic wear from weather/neglect is typically excluded.

How do the built-in lights work, and do I need a battery or power cord?

LED strips run through the ribs and are powered by an included UL-approved power cord that plugs into a standard outdoor outlet. Two brightness settings, high and low, let you set the mood for evening use. If you'd rather not run a cord across your patio, an optional rechargeable battery pack is available separately.

How is the Starlux different from the standard AKZ Plus cantilever umbrella?

Both share the same frame, crank-lift, tilt, and rotation system. The Starlux adds built-in LED lighting in the ribs for use after dark; the standard AKZ Plus does not include lighting.

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. Even so, close the canopy in sustained high winds or storms — cantilever umbrellas are more exposed to wind than a market umbrella with a rooted center pole.

Can I replace the canopy fabric or order parts later?

Yes. Replacement canopies are available across Treasure Garden's fabric line, and individual parts are available if you ever need to service the frame, so you're not stuck replacing the whole umbrella over one worn component.
