This 9ft replacement canopy in dark gray is designed for 8-rib umbrella frames. It is made from 180g polyester fabric with a PU coating, providing water resistance for light rain showers. The dark gray pigment offers a modern aesthetic and deep shade. Specifications indicate a required rib length of approximately 54 inches, and the single top vent helps to manage airflow and heat under the canopy during the summer months.
Practical Fitting
To ensure a successful installation, it is helpful to measure your existing umbrella ribs to verify they meet the 54-inch requirement, as the fabric has very little stretch. The top vent is an important feature for reducing the lifting force of the wind. To help the fabric maintain its appearance, closing the umbrella during peak sun hours when not in use can assist in slowing down the natural fading process common with polyester textiles.
- Refreshing just the fabric is a practical way to extend the life of an existing frame.
- PU coating provides a barrier against light precipitation.
- Integrated wind vent assists with stability during light breezes.
If you prefer a lighter color to better mask solar bleaching, the Sunnyglade 9ft Tan Canopy is a suitable alternative.
