Patio Umbrella Tilt

There are many varieties of tilt.  The main choices are push button tilts, collar tilts, and auto tilts.

The tilt is necessary because the sun moves on you.  Offset and cantilever umbrellas are the types that tilt.

Manual Tilting
Manual tilting is what you do with a typical offset umbrella.  In a manual tilt you simply push or pull the umbrella to the right place. 

Automatic Tilting
Automatic tilting is usually part of a cantilever umbrella and is called the crank tilt.  

Push Button Tilt
The Push-Button Tilt sounds automatic, but it is actually a manual tilt.  There is often a button near the top of the umbrella pole.  You push it and the umbrella can then be adjusted into two or three different tilts.

Crank Tilt
The crank tilt is what most umbrellas have.  You simply and easily turn a crank.  The crank will then effortlessly tilt your umbrella.  Some people call the crank tilt automatic because it so effortlessly adjusts the umbrella.  

Collar Tilt
The collar tilt is a crank tilt with a collar.  You can turn the crank to open or close the umbrella.  To tilt the umbrella, there is a collar near the top of the umbrella pole that you turn to adjust tilt.

Shade Dial

The shade dial is a relatively new feature.  It is a collar tilt umbrella with an added twist.  A shade dial is placed at the base of the patio umbrella pole.  When you turn the dial, the umbrella turns to block out the sun whichever direction it is coming form.  Neat, Huh.
