The box then are the disassembled base, a foot shell with foot release for the rotation mechanism, and the actual umbrella holder with retaining screw, plastic cover with separate top plate for the foot of the screen, as well as a crank and eight screws with appropriate washers. The instructions should be mentioned that not only is very understandable with clear detailed German records, but also makes joy. One sees that Schneider apparently lays out value that the end user can understand the manufacturer's thinking. The installation is very simple: put the two foot sections together and fix it with the longer screws with four washers, the foot shell with the shorter screws and four washers also attach the supplied Allen key helps. Then use four paving stones á 50cm, postpone the plastic covers. Screen plug and secure it with the screw, turn the crank and you're done. What you do not see at first glance, are the transportation safety of the struts. To remove this, is rather for fine motor skills. You have to crawl into the shade, with a pair of scissors might damage the fabric, so use common here extreme caution. Did they then freed him finally and aufgekurbelt first surprise of the vertical stand, this can be summed up with a handle on the mechanics into a horizontal position.
The 3x3 meters one must note that the screen is indeed sprung, however, the dimensions refer to the edge. So is the floor space Despite curvature 9m² (remeasured). He is, however, about the state, so we standing not quite able to use him from the surface next to the terrace, but that's not a problem because it is perpendicular then not in the way. Horizontally it is then like a roof over, so we wanted to have it. The paving slabs provide a counterweight of about 80kg, which should be enough in order not to let him fall over in a gust of wind. Even when working with the fabric I find nothing I could expose. It acts by no means thin and not bad either sewn. Even she was not dirty, the screen was covered with a plastic sheet upon delivery. Even in humid storage it could be so good in the packaging not harm. Very clever is the cover to the bar, which makes it possible to protect him even without climbing accordingly when not in use. Obviously, the manufacturer was annoyed just like me over those climbing.
All in all, in my view a more robust shield, weaknesses in the joints, as others write, I could not make out. He does not hold, too real masses, one must not underestimate, however, the wind load. Comparisons to other screens of this type, although I can not do, but I see the price even as an entry to mid-range. Who all year an umbrella would like to build on the North Sea, is certainly in the thousands appropriate pavilions. Or an awning, which is also likely to cost ten times with the same area. If he should survive really 10 years he think I paid for itself. Whether he achieves this, only time will tell. I can advise in any case by not buying.
