Replacement Canopy Top for Hampton Bay Solar Offset Umbrella

I hesitated to buy this initially because of many low star reviews. But the original just got too bad so I figured I’d try it and return it if needed. It’s not the same material. It’s more of a tent wall type material vs the canvas one originally included with the full set up. But it blocks the Sun, it was east to install. And it looks nice (see pics). Might be a smudge tight but I assume it will stretch out. Just got it last week so longevity is tbd, but it’s so easy to take off and put on I’ll be putting it away for winter. The one knock is It’s a little pricey to me, but it’s not crazy over priced so I will keep it. So if you have the Hampton bay Home Depot patio umbrella with 8 ribs and the solar lights, I’d say a solid 4.5. Works, looks nice enough but a little pricey.

Excellent product perfect fit

This was so easy to out on. It looks very nice. I do wish it was canvas material, so we will see how it holds up. But I do recommend this canopy, to replace your Hampton Bay Offset Catalever canopy. I took me 5-10 min’s max to put it on.

I agree with other reviews : The canopy fits perfectly, but the fabric is thinner than the original, looks cheap, and it is evident it was not made with love. I had to spent too much time cutting loose threads and small excess fabric pieces from seams. The cost is way too high for what you get. I am keeping it since the other option has similar reviews.

This canopy is fairly easy to install and fits perfectly. My only concern is its durability. It is a much lighter fabric than the original canopy but since the manufacturer doesn't sell replacement canopies it's your only option, other than spending $600 on a complete umbrella at Home Depot. I have now replaced three canopies and if they last two years I'm way ahead of the curve.
