A navy blue clip-on umbrella

Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

I have a west-facing balcony that gets loads of afternoon sun. I’ve been searching for something that will give me a little shade, and this clip-on umbrella might be the solution I’m searching for.

This durable umbrella offers UPF 50+ protection from the sun. The four-way, 360-degree swivel and two push-button hinges allow you to adjust it to almost any position. When opened, the XL size measures 43 x 44 inches, but it folds down into a compact carrying case and weighs under two pounds.

I can see clamping this onto my deck chair or balcony so I can spend time there without roasting.

Sport-Brella’s Versa-Brella is available at Amazon in several colors/patterns for under $30. It also comes in a smaller regular size and with a backpack chair.
