Shademaker Taurus 10' Octagon Patio Umbrella

Shademaker Taurus 10' Octagon Patio Umbrella

Clean Style. Strong Shade. Daily Ease.

The Taurus adds calm shade to patios, cafes, pools, and homes. The top is 10 feet wide with eight panels. It covers tables and lounge sets. The look is neat and modern. The crank is smooth. Set it up and relax.

Shade Area and Fit

The 10 foot top suits most four to six seat tables or a small lounge set. Leave room to walk around the base. Plan a clear lane for plates if you serve food. For big patios, use two Taurus units. Let the pools of shade meet but not overlap too much.

Wind and Weather

• Close the umbrella in strong wind or storms.
• Use the right base for your site. Go heavier in breezy spots.
• Near the coast, rinse the frame with fresh water at times.
• Use a cover when closed. It keeps the top clean.

Finishes and Colors

• Frame coats: Grays, black, and metal tones.
• Top colors: Bright, calm, or classic.
• Logos: Ask about logo panels.
• Cloth care: Rinse with fresh water. Wash with mild soap if needed.

Bases and Mounts

Add a base to your order. Pick a hold down that fits your surface and wind:

• Surface plate: Bolt to concrete for a fixed set up.
• Deck plate: Screw to wood with solid backing.
• In ground anchor: Best for soil or set pavers.
• Heavy base: A mobile choice for flexible layouts. Check weight needs.

Quick Base Tips

• Use more weight in open, windy spots.
• Use fixed plates near tight paths.
• Use mobile bases for shared spaces.
• Add pads under bases on wood decks.

Set Up in 5 Steps

1. Place the base on a flat, safe spot.
2. Set the pole in the base sleeve. Tighten the screws.
3. Lift the top onto the hub. Lock the pin if used.
4. Turn the crank to open. Stop when the cloth is smooth.
5. Check clear space. Shift the table if needed.

Placement Tips

• Center the pole in a table hole or use a stand alone base.
• Leave space near the crank side for easy reach.
• Keep clear of walls, heaters, and flame.
• Face seams away from steady wind if you can.
• Use a cover when closed to keep the top clean.

Layout Ideas

• Small dining set: Four chairs around a 36–42 inch table. One Taurus centered.
• Family table: Six chairs around a 60 inch table. One Taurus with a heavy base.
• Lounge set: Sofa, two chairs, and a low table. One Taurus offset for clear views.
• Two zone patio: Two Taurus units with a 3–4 foot gap for walk paths.

Care and Safety

• Daily: Close in strong wind. Tie off at night. Brush off dust and leaves.
• Monthly: Rinse the top with fresh water. Check bolts and the base.
• Each season: Wash with mild soap. Let it dry before you store it.
• Storage: Keep it dry and covered in a clean, airy place.
