50 inch diameter umbrella, it does not have a tilt mechanism but the pole unscrews and screws in at an angle at the top giving more space under the brolly and the back of the brolly then hugs the ground. The back has two pegging points (webbing and a metal eye sewn to the brolly at the end of an arm) and it comes with two high quality pegs.
The arms appear to be something other than metal (technical description), but are flexible and strong.
It also comes with a protective sleeve, which now lives with all the other unused junk in me shed.
Had this for a couple of months, RRP £50, I paid £32 (inc p&p).
100% waterproof, I know that's we we expect, but it ain't always what we get is it!
It has been up in 30mph winds and has not suffered any damage.
I would say the weight is reasonable, it weighs 7.5lb (3.5kg) on me trusty fish weighing scales, so it's probably about a lb :wh
The only criticism I have is the release button ain't very easy to use. Its a big green, angled plastic button that I am never sure weather to push it in or up or what. It seems to be getting easier to release as it gets used more, but that just brings on the worry hat it will wear out quickly
So far all in all does what it says on the tin and for the money I think it was very good buy.
