ProShade 11 ft Market Umbrella with Tilt

[Scroll down to view product info]

When it's warm out, it's often nice to be able to hang outside in your backyard or patio. The only thing is that sometimes it gets too hot. Well, you can fix this by getting the ProShade 11 ft Market Umbrella with Tilt. This umbrella provides valuable shade away from the hot sun, so that you can enjoy the warm weather while staying cool. Although this umbrella comes with a hardwood pole, what's great is that it still tilts unlike most patio umbrellas. So when the sun moves during the day, you can easily move this too. That way you won't lose the shade in the afternoon. The really wide diameter of the ProShade Market Umbrella makes it conducive for you and your family during bbq's, outdoor gatherings, or just dining al fresco in your backyard. You won't regret getting the ProShade 11' Market Umbrella with Tilt when you realize how much cooler it is standing underneath it versus being directly under the sun.

Can I use this umbrella in a 52" round patio table?

ExecMemberMike said...

Hello @Anonymous, the ProShade 11' Market Umbrella is definitely big enough to provide enough shade for your 52" round patio table. That and so long as the 1.8 inch in diameter hardwood pole that this umbrella comes with can fit through the hole of your table if you plan to place the table directly underneath it. On a side note, I just realized that the top most photo on this post isn't the correct umbrella corresponding to the ProShade 11' Market Umbrella. You can actually see the true ProShade 11' Market Umbrella in the background (on the left) on that same first picture of this post.

I've tried to use the tilt option but can't get the umbrella to rotate. What am I doing wrong?

ExecMemberMike said...

Hello @Anonymous, I'm not too sure what you're doing wrong since I can't see what you're doing (or not doing). I would think that making the ProShade 11 foot Market Umbrella tilt is simple enough, but maybe the umbrella you got is defective. If Costco still has this umbrella on the sales floor at your local Costco, you may want to see if you can make that umbrella tilt just as a test.

My husband and I got the umbrella to tilt, but it took him holding the pole while I walked in circles to do it. Now it's stuck in a tilt, and I'm unable to tilt it back up and take it back to Costco!!

ExecMemberMike said...

Hi @Anonymous, oh that's just sucks that your ProShade 11 foot Market Umbrella is stuck in the tilt position. I wonder if a certain piece of the pole is rusted or bent out of shape making it difficult to tilt and straighten. Hopefully this is just an isolated issue with your umbrella and not for all ProShade 11 foot Market Umbrellas.

We just purchased this from our local Costco and really like the quality of this umbrella with the exception of the tilt option. Like the previous post, my husband had to hold the pole while I tried to rotate it in order to tilt, definitely not a great way to have to tilt the umbrella. Considering returning the umbrella for that reason.

ExecMemberMike said...

Hello @Anonymous, this seems to be a common problem with the ProShade 11' Market Umbrella. I hope the manufacturer addresses this issue with their umbrellas since using the tilt option doesn't appear to be very convenient at all.

We are having the same problem with the umbrella stuck in a tilt! There is a sever thunderstorm warning and my husband is out of town and I can't figure out how to get it down. I think if we can figure out how to get it down, it will be returned. It's too bad because I really like the umbrella!

ExecMemberMike said...

Hello @Anonymous, I guess the ProShade Market Umbrella should've been designed better since it seems like many people are having trouble adjusting it from its current state. I hope you'll be able to get it unstuck before the storm hits.

My neighbor came over and helped me, but it seems likes it's a 2 person job. We took out the pin and then began rotating it until the two poles lined up properly. Then it slid closed as it should.

ExecMemberMike said...

Oh cool that you got your ProShade Market Umbrella to close. I guess it wasn't too difficult. It's a good thing your neighbor was around to lend a hand.

Anonymous said...

This is the second ProShade umbrella we're purchased. We could never get the first one to tilt.
It met its fate in a thunderstorm. We liked it so much we decided to buy another one since it had to be a tilt defect in the first one. You guest it! The second one doesn't tilt either. I called the toll free number and they don't have a clue how to make it tilt!! I never thought to have the neighbors come over to give it a try!

After only a half-dozen openings and closings, our ProShade will no longer stay fully open. The handle slowly rotates back and allows the cable at the top to release about 6". Doesn't' seem like much of an issue but as a result, the shade wobbles and blows around with every little wisp of wind. Can you advise how or who to call about this?

ExecMemberMike said...

Hello @Anonymous, it looks like the ProShade Market Umbrella's tilt feature just doesn't work all that well. I hope the manufacturer improves it in subsequent models since tilting the umbrella has to be convenient enough for everyone.

ExecMemberMike said...

Hi @Anonymous, I wonder if you can use some sort of zip tie to keep the handle in place, so that it doesn't rotate back and causing your ProShade Market Umbrella to partially closed. Of course this is just a quick fix and temporary. You could probably return the umbrella for a full refund at Costco if this is a major issue for you. Costco has a pretty good return policy with items that you're not satisfied with or is defective since it sounds like the manufacturer's customer support wasn't too helpful.

Maybe you really don't need to tilt your umbrella. I bought a ShadeMobile rolling umbrella base for $45 from Amazon. I fitted it with bricks and sand to get a 125 lb base that even my wife can roll easily. As the sun moves, you just roll this incredible base. I bought the bricks and sand at Lowes garden section. jp.tata@att.net

ExecMemberMike said...

Hi @Anonymous, thank you for suggesting a rather ingenious alternative to the ProShade 11' Market Umbrella since it seems like a lot of people are having a hard time getting the ProShade Market Umbrella with Tilt to do what it's supposed to do and tilt. This might be a good solution for those who don't put their umbrella through a table's umbrella hole.

where can I buy the tilting elbow replacement part

Linda said...

My ProShade 11" Market Umbrella will not open. I bought it almost a year ago and have been pleased. The pulley system is very hard for me to use because it is so heavy and the pin hole is so high. I have to get my son to open and close it for this reason. Now for some strange reason it will not open at all. My son cannot open it either. The rope that we normally pull will not budge. It is stuck, but after observing and checking everything very closely, we cannot figure out what the problem is. We do not want to break it, so we stopped trying to make it open. Can you give us some suggestions on what the problem could possibly be and how to make it open?

Is a tilting elbow replacement part available? My ProShade 11' Market Umbrella fell over in a wind storm and caused the elbow to dislocate.

ExecMemberMike said...

Hi @Anonymous, oh that sucks what happened to your umbrella because of the storm. I doubt Costco will sell replacement parts for your ProShade Market Umbrella. I think you may have to contact the manufacturer, and hopefully they can help you with a replacement part for your umbrella if it is available.

Roy said...

Hello Anonymous. I an also in the market for the tilting elbow replacement part, I experienced the same situation that you did. Have you located any options?

Anonymous said...

Looking to replace or tighten up the elbow. How can I do that? It's now to wobbly.

ExecMemberMike said...

Hi @Anonymous, you could try using a couple of hose clamps in an effort to tighten the elbow of your ProShade Market Umbrella as seen on this video. Hopefully this quick fix works for your umbrella.

I just bought the 11' Proshade Market umbrella from costco and... it wont tilt. Its the spin to tilt kind. I just bought a new 50lb base and the pole is very tight in it. But it still manages to just spin. Even if I hold it as tight as I can and my wife turns the canopy I can't keep the pole from spinning. It makes me very angry. Anyone found a solution?

Anonymous said...

Same issue with the tilt. Mine is stuck in that position and I nor the three other guys were able to swing it back to the original position. It's defective and I cant transport it back to Costco since the 11ft umbrella wont close for transport..uggh

ExecMemberMike said...

Hello @RiceMg and @Anonymous, have you tried going on YouTube? Your umbrellas' not being able to tilt seems to be a common issue with this item, so maybe someone out there may have had the same and posted a video of a possible solution or some sort of hack to fix it. It may be worth checking out if returning it to Costco is not an option. Good luck!

Costco Umbrella will not un tilt. Turning it will not fix it. How can I get it to stand straight again. Should of never tilted it!

I purchased Pro Shade 11’ wooden commercial umbrella 10 years ago. Still have it and Best brand for umbrellas by far! I’m a member at Costco, but do not have this particular pulley and pin system style with real wood pole in stock? Nor any other websites I’ve been endlessly searching ?
I got really excited because I saw a pic of the EXACT umbrella I bought 10 years in the box in this website. Can you give me any info on where I can purchase this umbrella. Please, I would be so grateful if you can.

Hello @Jules, that's great that your Pro Shade 11' umbrella is still going strong even after 10 years. I originally spotted the Pro Shade umbrella with pully at the Costco in Redwood City, CA. Costco has a tendency to cycle through much of the same products, so just be sure to keep an eye out for it when it returns to Costco. I'm sure it'll return to Costco (hopefully sooner rather than later) for sale at some point probably next year. These umbrellas are a seasonal item, so you probably won't find it at Costco now since it's already the end of summer. Good luck!

I attempted to raise my brand new ProShade 11 foot Umbrella, however, the rope pulley raises the Umbrella to about 2 inches from the bottom pin hole. I've tried countless times to raise the unit to the bottom hole but failed each time. Is this a common problem and can it be resolved?
