Thanks for this video. I just got one of these yesterday and it came without instructions. I knew I wasn't doing it right somehow. Watching you work with yours has really helped.
Where can I get some written instructions for this Amazon umbrella. So big for one person. Took it down for the winter and trying to re-install. Having problems with anchoring it to thr the ground and red sliding sleeve isn't staying in place. Frustrated.
We have ours on our deck and it keeps wanting to turn into the wall. How do I lock it in place Should I drill into the pole to lock it in place with the base nobs
I just bought this umbrella to replace and another offset umbrella had which I couldn't find I replace my old one so I bought this one. I don't know how they're going to open this up it's so heavy period And I have back problems. So I found your video to see how am I supposed to open this up, and after watching you struggle I'm now wondering if I should return the umbrella because there's no possible way this could even outstand a little bit of wind. Can you tell me to do still have trouble opening up the umbrella or did you return it
Hi mate, I had the same issue. Everytime I am opening it, I am using a small rope to bond the handle to the tube and it is stopping the umbrella from slowly closing..
Hey Sandy, You pretty much need NO breeze for these.. I live on the coast and almost every day has wind.. that is why I had to get rid of mine.. any nice day had wind.. and a gust of wind can cause issues..
Just purchased a similar umbrella. The handle is not clamping down regardless of positioning. I've asked for a part replacement. The one thing I will also have to pick up is Band-Aids ...as it's only a matter of time and I can see myself pinching flesh. Should come with a first aid kit.
yes.. it is like a large sail.. be very cautious my FRIEND.! I would recommend only using your umbrella on days that have VERY little wind if any.. On a breezy day, the wind can easily cause this to be damaged.. I had 280pounds of weight and was standing on the base on a windy day and it almost blew me over and it bent the metal.. so please only use on NON windy days
Thank you for the video ETPC. We moved to our new house and the old owners left that umbrella in the yard. Not a clue how to opened it until we saw this video! Thanks! The canopy is in really bad shape though. We are gonna get a replacement. So, therefore my question. Do you know what size of canopy is the one you use in this video?? Does it say in any of the papers what are the dimensions or something?? Thanks again.
Hi! Thanks for the video! it really helps visualize how it will look in the garden! can you share what is the brand of the umbrella, and color? :) thank you!
To all consumers... I do NOT recommend buying the 10' width version.... too big and easily falls over. Unless you buy 4 stone square pieces to go in between each groove.
Hello everyone! Today I have bought the same umberella for 50 $ on discount and.. I think it is not worth even 50 bucks. Problem 1 - the tube that holds the umbrella stands on another smaller tube. This small tube has plastic part with two holes that you use to for fixation of the metal parts in the big tube. Today is not really windy, but the force of the wind makes bigger tube rotate and jump off the plastic holes! Plastic is already scewed up, and it only passed like 3 hours. I think I will not be able to use it even for month, as this plastic will just break. If it would be metal part, this umberella would be 1000% better. Problem 2 - this umbrella tube can only rotate by 180*, or you need to rotate the whole stand (I have around 70 kg of old stone to support the stand...) It is really annoying as the sun moves and you cannot really change the orientation of the shadow. I would not advice to buy if the price is >50$. Thinking about two options: 1) return, 2) change the plastic part with the metal tube and make holes in it. If you had similar problems and you know a better solution let me know.
P.S. Simpler solutuon - drill two-four holes under this plastic detail. And insert one-two bolts that will additionally fixate the smaller tube with the bigger one.
Hi and thanks for the comment.. we haven't been able to use this much because of the wind in our area.. I would only recommend it for days with almost NO wind at all.. it can use some design upgrades like you said..
I’m here trying to figure out the same thing. I spent all of this money on this umbrella and my family doesn’t feel safe sitting under it because it sways so much at the slightest wind
I just got one and wondered the same thing. However, if it didn’t swing, it would have a much higher risk of blowing over. I think the swinging feature allows it to be much safer even though it feels the opposite. Does that make sense?
I guess I would, not wood, also check my spelling before criticizing, the funny thing is all the other comments are positive except yours, do you really need help opening a box? Do you need instructions on how to cut the tape as well or were you okay? Btw, it's, given you a like, not gave a like and if most Peeps (?) don't, why are you here? This person took the time to video this work, how about we just say, thank you?
Thanks for showing the realistic way of these umbrellas. Every other video makes it look so easy
YOU are most welcome :) I try to keep it real on my channel.. showing the struggle :)
Great video! The cat also played its roll little entertainment 😂😂
He makes a cameo in more than one of my videos lol
The cute cats made it hard to focus, but I got the gist. Now I have a pretty good idea of whether to get this type of umbrella or not. Thanks
YOU are welcome :) That cats are super cute hehe
Thank you so much! This was very helpful.
YOU are most welcome Charloette
The cat! Haha
gotta love them :)
I couldn't even focus on the video because of that little booger 🤣
Thanks for this video. I just got one of these yesterday and it came without instructions. I knew I wasn't doing it right somehow. Watching you work with yours has really helped.
Glad it was useful for YOU :)

Do you need a base for the umbrella? I don’t want to spend extra on the base!
YOU do need a base.. I used 16x16 pavers.. they run about $4each now.. so you can have a pretty good base for around $20
You saved my life!! I didn't know how to open the umbrella.
I hope YOU enjoy it , LEA :)
Love the cat!
Hey JULIE! we do too.. He is super curios.. he makes an appearance in more than one of my videos lol :)
We have ours on our deck and it keeps wanting to turn into the wall. How do I lock it in place
Should I drill into the pole to lock it in place with the base nobs
That would be one option
Good video and I love your cat was very entertaining ) 👍🏻
haha They are adorable :) Thanks for the comment ;)
I love the way you edited out the sound.
Lol well this was before I had my labalier microphone..
Hello, I have just bought one . Is it meant to be swinging when it’s just hanging over you with the wind? Thank you!
hi JANITH, i would only open it during calm days. i made another video of opening it on a breezy day and it almost flew away.. it can be dangerous
Use Marble base
You’ve helped a lot! Love your kitties!
THanks so much HOLLIE :) They are so CUTE aren't they :)

Why does my umbrella unwind by itself? Like it just slowly starts to close, any idea how to stop this or did I get a faulty one?
sounds like your cable is retracting slowly.. it should be stuck where it is until you uncrank it
Hi mate, I had the same issue. Everytime I am opening it, I am using a small rope to bond the handle to the tube and it is stopping the umbrella from slowly closing..
Very helpful video. Thanks a ton!
Hey NICKY :) YOU are most welcome :)
Is there a way of cleaning the umbrella?
I imagine a pressure washer would do pretty well
Thanks for adjusting the angle, this is what is missing from most videos 😊
YOU are most welcome, PADARIC :)
What do we do about the umbrella swaying, the slightest wind sends it everywhere??? Is this normal, any tips or tricks you all can help me with 🤔
Hey Sandy, You pretty much need NO breeze for these.. I live on the coast and almost every day has wind.. that is why I had to get rid of mine.. any nice day had wind.. and a gust of wind can cause issues..
How come you started the video after you had already assembled the base parts?
I am sorry

Yeah be careful it can be dangerous.. and don't use in the wind
Yes be careful and do not use on windy days
Yes be careful and do not use on windy days
Thanks for your help… was really useful 👏🏼🤗
YOU are most welcome:) I am glad it helped out a little :)
Is it normal that the umbrella keep moving whit the wind or is there a way to keep it static? thank you
yes.. it is like a large sail.. be very cautious my FRIEND.! I would recommend only using your umbrella on days that have VERY little wind if any..

exactly had mine out not normal medium wind .3.5 metre . just snapped at the middle section . lucky the great company are sending a replacement. 😅

Hello, Maria, I believe it is a 10 foot umbrella :)
@@ETPCYT ok. Thank you ETPC!
Bought one unboxed it and didn't keep the instructions, couldn't work the necessary and saw this. Very helpful. Cheers Ron... Preston.. UK.
Hey RON, Glad it helped my FRIEND! Hey from across the pond in CAlifornia ;)
Quite the umbrella :) keep tubing brother you got a new fan
THanks KSUBI :)
This is not a cat video??
It has a cat in it
I don't know what these comments are talking about. I didn't see how you set it up at all... just saw you fumbling around with it.
oh maybe I messed up on the video?
THE CATS, love it.
They are adorable :) have a great day Caroline :)
i love your cat!!!
He is adorable.. I have a couple.. they enjoy getting in the videos lol
Your cat stole your video 😂. I was watching him all the time.
They are super cute lol..
The crank is not working on mine it will not lock open.
Hmmm.. I would think perhaps something is loose inside
Thanks so much I could not figure it out. I got to the same place you did and I was like how the heck does this thing go up
Hey SUE! YOU are most welcome :)
Yay thank you took us agas to know what to do buying it second hand.
Glad it helped :)
Hi! Thanks for the video! it really helps visualize how it will look in the garden! can you share what is the brand of the umbrella, and color? :) thank you!
Hey JASNA, This was a gift so not sure the brand.. the color is red.. Here is an amazon link to a similar one like this amzn.to/3bduSIC
Thank you!!!
YOU are most welcome :)
Thank you~ 👍
YOU are most welcome :)
I LOVE UR VIDEOS ETPC
Thank YOU so much! I will try to make good content :)
To all consumers... I do NOT recommend buying the 10' width version.... too big and easily falls over. Unless you buy 4 stone square pieces to go in between each groove.
you cannot use them in any wind.. for sure
1:13 whats this thing called?
I would think a sleeve or collar
@@ETPCYT thank you! i lost that part and was trying to find one online
@@ETPCYT do u know where i could find that?
you are welcome :)
hmm here is an amazon link that has some parts.. if these aren't the correct ones perhaps looking up the manufacturer website could help you :)
How do you stop the crank from losing
it seems to have a point where it does not get any tighter.. mine does not loosen
Yeah!
:) thanks!

Exactly !!!!! BEST CHOICE sent me a replacement umbrella for free within my 30days and guess what? Same issue!!! Honestly this item breaks very easy.
Hi and thanks for the comment.. we haven't been able to use this much because of the wind in our area.. I would only recommend it for days with almost NO wind at all.. it can use some design upgrades like you said..
it could definitely use some reinforcement.. the stand needs to be braced better
Do more Wordscapes
ok
ETPC EPIC TIME PASS CHANNEL yes
@@justindollar8106 I will start playing again :)
ETPC EPIC TIME PASS CHANNEL call me gcainester
you didn't start at the beginning.
Sorry
I just got this item today and I put a big rock on the stand so that it will not lose its balance..
I put four 18x18x2" pavers in each corner of the stand.. works great and looks good too :)
Hello my question is why does my umbrella ☂ Swing I live in a windy 🌬 area did I install something wrong❓
I’m here trying to figure out the same thing. I spent all of this money on this umbrella and my family doesn’t feel safe sitting under it because it sways so much at the slightest wind
It does sway quite a bit in the wind.. it is quite large and their is considerable force being applied on a windy day
low winds it should sway too much.. try ratcheting it more to make it tighter
I just got one and wondered the same thing. However, if it didn’t swing, it would have a much higher risk of blowing over. I think the swinging feature allows it to be much safer even though it feels the opposite. Does that make sense?
@@ETPCYT what does "ratcheting it more" mean? #noob
OMG, have you never opened an umbrella before?
not too many.. I know I have a lot to learn :) be blessed my FRIEND :)
You did not show unboxing, please take that out of your title.
Done sorry about that my friend
Not good.... Umbrella is hoving here and there.... Hehehe
YOU can only use in calm days.. NO WIND .. it can be dangerous :(
How id didn't fall
I put a base on later :)
I have subscribed ur channel and thank u for answer
@@Raj-q2f4y YOU are welcome! Thanks for the sub :) I appreciate that :)
Should have let the wife do it. Lol
Lol
Frist of all unboxing means putting it together from bottom to top or I wood of gave a like but you really didn't show unboxing not most Peep's do.
That's okay, ALISA, Thanks for the advice. I always try to get better and I will try to do better at that as well :) take care!
I guess I would, not wood, also check my spelling before criticizing, the funny thing is all the other comments are positive except yours, do you really need help opening a box? Do you need instructions on how to cut the tape as well or were you okay? Btw, it's, given you a like, not gave a like and if most Peeps (?) don't, why are you here?

Damn you could have let us see thee actual unboxing an how you put it together!🙄🤦🏽♀️🙄🙄
yeah I guess I failed on that..
My bad Boo! Just seeing the first video didn't know it was 2 parts 💋🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
