Basic umbrella canopy replacement that fades quickly.
For the price I figured it was worth just buying this umbrella (Green) as a replacement to our olded, faded umbrella canopy. Putting it on was easy enough, and it looked great for the couple of months of summer last year initially. As I started to use it again this May, I noticed that over the winter fade lines have appeared wherever the umbrella canopy would get the most sun (see pic; this is at 10 months outdoors). Still, if I have to spend $25 per year to get a new canopy because they only last one season, thats not a bad deal. I just wish there was some kind of UV protection spray I could put on it to help with the fading, because aside from that it really does seem like a good quality umbrella and structurally is holding up nicely.
