Ergodyne SHAX 6100 Lightweight Industrial Umbrella

My husband works as a fiber splicer and needed a sturdy umbrella to help shade him from the sun when working outside. After much research, I found this Ergodynae umbrella. We ordered it as it was a great value for the product compared to other umbrellas we found. The material is very durable, reflective and can be seen a great distance away by vehicles driving which is perfect as my husband is consistently working around telephone poles and roadways. Standing under the umbrella, it is a good 10 degree difference because it blocks out the sun and rays so well. The ground spike works great in any terrain and the umbrella withstands mild wind well. The only improvement we would suggest is to make the metal ribs inside a little thicker/stronger so that it will continue to last longer. Overall it was a great purchase and when the one he has eventually wears out, we will definitely be buying another one. We also recommend it to all his coworkers when they ask about it.

Was surprised how well it held up in a storm!

Withstands higher winds than expected. Definitely a good unit for the west TX sun.

I could not get the umbrella open or the button depressed. I called the companies 800 number and you think these people would have the brains to tell you you do not need to depress the button to open it. “The button is only there to lower it.” I even told the guy I cannot open it or depress the button. This is an OMG for this company. I was just trying to get the umbrella open, so I returned it and ordered another one with the same problem. Then of course figured it out, but not before breaking the button. What a joke.

La caja llegó rota, falta una parte y el forro esta dañado.

Only thing should have bought one sooner great for shade in hotter days

Works well. They need to redesign the stake so that the pipe doesn’t slide through the stake when you push it into the ground. The locking screw does almost nothing to help this.

This umbrella is awesome. I use it for work on swimming pool equipment, so far just in the hot sun. I'll be ising it to stay out of the rain this winter as well. The construction is solid, and all of the components look to be of good quality. Definitely a great buy.
