Is there a way to close the umbrella without having to take the screen off (or having the screen fall off)?

I have never closed mine unless to exchange umbrellas. It holds up in strong winds because of the water in the bottom.

Yes, at least I found a way that works for me. I do not fill the bottom with water as this seems unnecessary. I rolled up the net from the bottom and used big clothes pegs to secure the rolled net to the sides of the umbrella. I used about 8 pegs, one for each section. Then every night I do this 'before' I take down the umbrella and then work in reverse when I put the umbrella back up. You should be able to figure this out yourself and it is pretty easy once you use the pegs.

Not quite sure what you are asking. Once the umbrella is in place, in our case, there is no need to move it, but, if you can put on you can take it off.

My solution--not the best, to be sure--is not to lock the thing in the first place, just use the little lock on the screen, which is easily undone.

You can talk with the cover closed, HOWEVER you want to make sure to turn the screen off before closing the cover or risk random screen touches that hang up, mute or something worse.

I personally don't leave it outside, I fold it up and bring it inside. It's light enough that this is not an inconvenience to do and since it's the perfect size for our small table and it took me awhile to find this umbrella, I don't want to risk having it get ruined.

Your umbrella must be defective. Mine closes easily when I turn the crank on the pole.

Not that I know of. There are a few different models but I'm almost positive you can't remove the screen.

Hello Mamamia, I would say it probably could prevent the umbrella rotating in a light breeze, if you tighten the set screw really hard, but I wouldn't count on it stopping rotation in any sort of stiff breeze, as that umbrella will have lots of leverage to bring to bear on that small area. You may actually want the umbrella to turn in the wind, rather than fall over. The center tube is 1-3/4" diameter on the outside, and comes with inserts to fit two smaller size umbrella poles. By the way, the tube is water-tight, and fills with rain water. It's not a big deal, but it's annoying when you put the umbrella pole in and water gushes out of the tube. Even though it's powder-coated steel, I'd recommend drilling a small hole as close to the bottom of the tube as you can, to let it drain. Otherwise, it's a fine stand!

Not really, you can adjust how it is by adjusting the arm and the umbrella will move but it is free motion when it is out like this and you cannot lock it to a certain tilt

You cannot attach an umbrella, but we bought one the freely stands to the side and arches over the table. It's perfect.

It has a magnetic closure that turns off the screen when you close it. It stays shut when you close it.

The picture is accurate. Umbrella doesn't cover much of the chair. Just big enough to maybe keep sun out of your eyes. You can take the cover off, but rods holding it are still there. Ours blew off during a windstorm, but didn't go far. I love my chair. My only problem has been keeping it still to get in and out. I'm 71.

Not difficult. There is a split in the frame that you pull apart and remove from the umbrella pole.

It does not "unscrew". You can remove it by essentially removing/breaking the pin/bolt that attaches it. My husband did it easily. Also I have ordered about 7 of these umbrella from different vendors and some have the sand screw and some do not, no matter what the description says. I

There is a little tab on the front of mine which catches when you close the cover. Hope this helps.

You should be able to gently pull down at each point/tip of the black cover. The cap at the end will pull off and release the cover. Do that for all points/tips of the umbrella. Hopefully that helps you.

These features on my umbrella work o.k. The tilt mechanism is less then ideal because you need to release the top part ofthe umbrella for it to tilt. When yo look to close it you have to hold part of the umbrella. Push it up until it is back in lock position.
