JoeShade Portable UV Sun Shade Umbrella with Tripod Stand – Lightweight, Adjustable, and Instant Sun Protection for Outdoor Sports, Camping, and More – Blue

As a 12-year veteran soccer mom, I can speak from experience in saying that the Joe Shade is the BEST sideline umbrella! Great on grass and turf, and even up in stadium stands because you can adjust the tripod base so it's narrow enough to fit between the bleachers (although I would usually have to hold onto it to keep it fully upright when in the stands--definitely worth it for the shade!). On the sideline it offered enough shade for both my husband and myself to sit under it with our beach chairs. Super easy to set up, break down and carry from field to field. Customer service is awesome, too! Great company. Highly recommend!

I sit at my kids sporting events several times a week so I'm always in the sun. I love this umbrella. It is very light weight, assembles and disassembles easily, provides 100% shade from the sun and protection in the rain (light rain -- not a downpour!). You can tilt it, which is nice when the sun is starting to set. You can also easily adjust the height of the umbrella as well. It comes with stakes but I would recommend purchasing some weights. The stakes don't work if you're sitting on pavement at a ball field and they really don't do much unless there is zero wind. The umbrella works well even when it's windy and it's quite sturdy. You will need to put your feet over the base and hold onto the pole on windy days. That may bother some people but it's a small sacrifice for me because it's so easy to assemble and carry that I'm willing to compromise. I use the base as a foot rest so it works for me but I'm sure weights would definitely help as well.

Love this beach umbrella..so sturdy. The stand is so easy to set up..the red color "pops"...u love making it sit short or tall..the tilt availability makes it great as the sun moves

I totally forgot to do a review, because I hadn’t had a chance to actually pull everything out to put it together. This is a very well made two piece set! I live in the Sonoran desert & this thing is a breeze getting it set up. Comes with ground spikes to stable the base on a windy day, and the umbrella works its shady magic. Great product guys! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I got this for use at baseball practices and games, and it’s been great so far. Setup is quick and easy, and I really appreciate how lightweight it is and how little space it takes up in the car. The only downside is that when the umbrella is tilted and there’s a breeze, it tends to swivel out of place, which means you can lose your shade. If that issue could be fixed, it’d be perfect. Still, I’ll keep using it—it’s a much better option than hauling around a big canopy when you’re on your own.

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: The five stars remain … wish I could give more. The original unit sent to me was definitely defective. The replacement unit, sent to me by the owner of the company, is much better than the original unit. The replacement unit’s components are assembled tighter than the original unit. No parts loser than they need to be. The parts with movement do so smoothly. Nothing gets stuck. This shade is very easy to put together. The base legs practically place themselves. One need only tighten the knob. The umbrella component opens easily and is huge, providing ample shade. It took me just under one minute to put this shade together to how I wanted it. The shade material is sturdy and very effective. The sun, no matter how bright, does not get through. Storing the shade is easy. It takes up very little room in the trunk of my car, and it is ready for use whenever I need it. Parks without shade trees are no longer a problem for me. This shade is perfect. UPDATE: The owner called me back and agreed I received a defective unit. He is going to send a replacement one. I will leave this review at 1 star until the owner of Joe Shade calls me back and tells me how to fix the umbrella. It is made in China, which means the parts and assembly are inferior. The knob labeled "leg lock" doesn't really lock the legs. It doesn't tighten. It simply spins and spins and spins, rendering the legs unstable. The "twist lock" is supposed to hold the height of the umbrella into place. This "twist lock" is too tight and I need to get a Teamster to untwist it. Regardless, the "twist lock" does not lock the pole is place. To collapse the umbrella, one must bring a tool kit. There is a small, metal plate which, when pressed, collapses the umbrella. Thing is, there is a cheap, red plastic button which is supposed to press that metal plate, and this cheap plastic part doesn't line up with the plate it is supposed to press. One must slide a long screw driver into the assembly and press the metal plate. There is a small, white, plastic part labeled "quick release". This is where the two parts of the umbrella lock together. This is the only thing which works.

This is probably my 5th purchase of this umbrella. We love it. It's easy to use, it protects so well against the sun. The quality is superb. Each one I've had has lasted a long time. When it starts wearing out, I order another one. Love the green color too

Nice and very handy umbrella.

great quality, great service

Absolutely love this. As a redhead with an allergy to the sun, this shade is 100% essential. I have been able to sit outside in 30+ weather and enjoy the day instead of hiding indoors. The "silver" on the inside really blocks outcthe heat and sun! Definitely reccomend it. Super easy to assemble amd lightweight. Only wish it had cupholders! Loved it so much we bought a second one!

Very useful and will probably purchase another one!

The pole leans quite a bit but it does what it’s suppose to and works great
