I purchased two of these covers for the Ace Evert 9-Feet Auto Tilt Market Umbrellas (Olefin Fabric, Navy) I purchased from in 2014. The covers were significantly faded in places. These covers were a tight fit (tip: loosely put the screw in top finial into the umbrella so the cover stays centered on the umbrella), but worked fine.
The replacement covers are clearly synthetic fabric: they have a shiny appearance (I am hoping that means they will last longer and fade less) and they also let more light through the fabric. I prefer a more canvas-y look, but that may be just me. The navy color isnt completely dark blue also, but more of a dusty navy blue. Just fyi.
I am pleased overall with the purchase and the value received. Plan B was to spray paint the original covers--purchasing a replacement was both easier and safer.
Appreciated Not Having to Purchase a New Umbrella
