Wind Resistance

Wind tunnel testing was performed to test the durability of Tilt the Pole. Winds were maintained up to 50 mph against the umbrella and TTP. The TTP was tested "stand alone" (no umbrella) with sustained winds of 97 mph.

Moves the Entire Umbrella Pole

Tilt the Pole® moves the entire umbrella pole. You can track the sun and create shade all day long. The umbrella shown in this GIF is a 9' commercial-duty fiberglass ribbed umbrella. We have worked with many commercial umbrellas.

Tested against 50+ mph winds (the world's only industrial tilt), this offers 50% more shade than tilting umbrellas and 300% more shade than umbrellas without tilt (that is like having 1 umbrella cover the same space as 3 umbrellas). The 9' umbrella provides 50% more shade than a 10' offset umbrella.

Never move your chair- just rotate and tilt the pole in the direction of the sun. Track the sun and create shade all day long.
