This wikiwiki umbrella review will give you an overview of wikiwiki patio umbrellas and tell you more about their canopy, frame, features, durability, price, and whether there is wikiwiki umbrellas website, etcetera.

Afterward will review their offset patio umbrellas (hanging and cantilevers) and market umbrellas, including the 2- and 3-tier.

Finally, we also review wikiwiki umbrella bases and covers. Are these umbrellas worth your investment or not?

About Wikiwiki

Customer service

Wikiwiki has the most delightful customer service/support team that proudly stands behind its products. The company is willing to listen to any of your concerns and provide the necessary help.

They do follow-ups, replacements or issue refunds promptly. Just contact the vendor who sold you the umbrella if you have any problems, and be sure you will get the help you need.

We bet they are the best company for customer service and everyone never fails to mention this fact.

Wikiwiki umbrella website

If you are looking for a Wikiwiki umbrella website, it doesn’t exist. This company sells their umbrellas on Amazon, Walmart, and Wayfair but don’t have a dedicated website.

However, don’t worry, as already seen, Wikiwiki is a leader in offering excellent customer service and support.

Frame

Depending on your choice, Wikiwiki umbrellas come with a rust-free, powder-coated iron, aluminum, or steel frame (pole and ribs). Powder-coating helps prevent rusting, corrosion, peeling, blistering, or chipping.

On the material, aluminum is the lightest, followed by iron, then steel, and it is the most popular frame material. It doesn’t rust or corrode easily. However, it snaps, dings and dents easily.

On the other hand, iron is stronger than aluminum and less expensive making it an excellent choice. However, it does rust. Don’t it if you live in high corrosion or rusting areas, such as near oceans with salty water.

Lastly, steel is the strongest and heaviest. However, it does rust, but it is not vulnerable as iron. Buy it if you want a sturdy and wind-resistant umbrella.

However, the frame material alone doesn’t mean it will be better. The grade and thickness have an even more enormous impact. Wikiwiki works each time to increase the thickness pole.  

Canopy

Once you decide on the frame, the next important thing to look at is the canopy. Wikiwiki upgraded from polyester to 240gsm solution-dyed fabric or olefin with one umbrella having a 280gsm solution-dyed material.

Olefin is the second-best material after Sunbrella, the industry leader, followed by olefin in colorfastness. However, Sunbrella is expensive.

Olefin is an excellent canopy fabric material that resists wear, abrasion, mildew, or molds. Also, it is stain and water-resistant, and its manufacturer is eco-friendly. Therefore, it is an excellent pick for canopy fabric, and you get a 3-year fading warranty.

Finally, while wikiwiki doesn’t reveal the solution-dyed fabric, it is backed with a 2-year fade warranty, meaning it is something good.

Features

You will get essential features in these umbrellas, which include the following:

One feature we would strongly recommend that wikiwiki ads to their umbrellas are solar-powered lights. Most of their peers have this feature.

Of course, there are no advanced features you will get on luxurious umbrellas that may include wireless Bluetooth speakers, USB charging port, telescoping arm or pole, and so on.

Size choice

Since Wikiwiki umbrellas come in various sizes, we thought it wise to help you decide which size suits your needs. Here is a simple guide:

Warranty

Wikiwiki umbrellas, bases, and covers come with a 1-year warranty, something that should give you all the confidence that their products are indeed good.

In addition, the 240gsm solution-dyed fabric has a two-year warranty against fading, while if you buy olefin or 280gsm solution-dyed fabrics, you get three years.

Prices/cost

Wikiwiki umbrellas cost between $79.00-$269.00 for the 7.5ft market and 10ft M Series cantilever umbrella. Are these prices high? No. Certainly not. They have some of the most competitive prices in the market, considering their quality (frame and fabric).

Compared to their peers, these umbrellas/parasols will give you value for your investment. They are well-made, sturdy and the company works each year to improve their products.

Durability

These umbrellas are durable, i.e., they will serve you for a couple of years. They even come with a warranty.

Buy them if you live in places that experience mild breezes. However, the tiered ones may stand in windy areas better, i.e., gentle to moderate currents.

Please don’t use them when it is windy or during storms, and don’t leave them on overnight or when not in use.

Verdict

Wikiwiki umbrellas are well-made, durable, and highly rated. We highly recommend them, and they are worth every penny you spend on them and will serve you well.

Also, the company has excellent customer support. Their umbrellas come with a 1-year warranty and either 2- or 3-year fabric colorfastness warranties.

Let us now look at their umbrellas, i.e., hanging, cantilevers, and market umbrellas, including the 2-tier and 3-tier.

Wikiwiki offset hanging and cantilever umbrellas

Wikiwiki has three offset umbrellas, i.e., H-series is a hanging umbrella, while the other two M and S series are cantilever umbrellas. The difference is how the canopy attaches. The former has a canopy held from above, while the latter it is supported from below.

Let us review the individual details of the offset umbrellas:

1. wikiwiki H Series Patio Offset Hanging Umbrella 10 Ft Cantilever Outdoor Umbrellas

If you have the wikiwiki H Series, 2020 model, you deserve to know that the 2021 upgrade is even better, i.e., it is more stable, has a better canopy, and so on.

The main improvements that the 2021 model has included the following:

Switch to solution-dyed fabric

• Wikiwiki ditched the polyester fabric and switched to a thicker (better shading), UV-protected, waterproof (up to 800 pa of pressure) PU coated, 240 GSM solution-dyed fabric with US Standard AATCC 16 Grade 5 protection from light. A two-year warranty backs this fabric against fading.
• Reinforced PA66 nylon replaced all four plastic parts for increased hardness and durability. Also, there is an iron metal cover on the hinge for protection, and the lower part of the joint has a reinforced aluminum die-cast material. That is not all. They modified the top joint inner for increased stability, durability, and extra-strength.
• They introduced a central hub that is compatible with light attachment, and each rib end has Velcro for attaching string lights or decoration.
• All iron frame that is 25% thicker
• A Velcro strap that attaches to the main pole to reduce wobbling  

This beautiful umbrella is highly rated. The fabric performs well, and many and most recommend it. Also, installation is straightforward, and you will receive a hardware kit and instructions.

However, still, breakages and wobbling are the main issues. Also, the iron frame rusts (small instances), and the Velcro intended to prevent swaying seems too long and doesn’t hold on to the pole very well.

Finally, like any other hanging umbrella (canopy supported from the top), don’t buy it if you live in windy places as it may wobble even with the improvement and, worse, break.

Details and specs

• Frame: Rust-free, powder-coated iron pole, and ribs with the poles thicker by 25% compared to the 2020 model. The lower pole diameter is 1.89 inches
• Canopy:  UV-resistant, waterproof (up to 800 pa of pressure) PU coated, 240 GSM solution-dyed fabric with US Standard AATCC 16 Grade 5 colorfastness to light
• Canopy colors: Beige, brick red, navy blue, orange, pine green, raisin purple, and wood,
• Features: Infinite vertical tilt, crank lift, Velcro close that attached canopy to the pole, central hub compatible with attachable light, Velcro straps on all rib ends for attaching decorations, Velcro closure strap, wind vent
• Base: Cross-base bar, buy weights separately. It is compatible with wikiwiki 230 lbs. Offset base B08PT48225.
• Dimensions: Overall dimensions 10ft wide x 8.07 ft high, pole height 7.09ft, height to hub 6.50ft.
• Price: $101.32-$138.00

2. wikiwiki S Series 10 FT 360° Rotation Aluminum Cantilever Offset Patio Umbrella

Wikiwiki 10ft offset outdoor cantilever outdoor umbrella with a solution-dyed fabric is an excellent option affordable option if you prefer a cantilever and not the hanging type as in the H series above.

Its design that features a triangular support design will ensure it doesn’t wobble so much and can stand wind slightly better. Like in the case of the H series, there has been an upgrade from the 2020 version.

Here are some improvements that the 2021 version has:

• A switch to a PU-coated, 240 GSM solution-dyed fabric with a two-year fade warranty as in the H series above.
• An upgrade of the triangular structure for better wind stability, i.e., the top joint that links the support bar and main pole, has aluminum die casting material and not plastic to ensure it is more rigid.
• The main pole is 20% thicker (0.4mm thicker), making it stronger and sturdier. 
• A center light socket (knob buckle) for light attachment and Velcro on each rib end for handing decoration, wind chimes, or lights.
• The vertical tilt and 360-degree rotation are smoother than before.

The umbrella will perform slightly better on wind than the H series above. However, it is costs slightly more. The umbrella is durable, the price is competitive, and most users have given it a very high rating. Also, it is easy to assemble, and the upgrade has improved its overall performance.

However, even with the improvement, the umbrella won’t stand strong winds, and there are cases of the canopy fading. Kindly ensure you got the upgraded version and not the older one.

We recommend this umbrella if you live in places that are not windy. Otherwise, you will be the next person complaining that your umbrella broke.

Details and specs

• Frame: Rust-free, powder-coated oval aluminum pole and eight ribs
• Canopy: UV-resistant, waterproof (up to 800 pa of pressure) PU coated, 240 GSM solution-dyed fabric with US Standard AATCC 16 Grade 5 colorfastness to light
• Colors: Beige,brick red, navy blue, pine green, raisin purple, and wood
• Features: 5 vertical tilt position, 360-degree rotation, closure Velcro strap, central hub knob buckle compatible with lights, Velcro straps at each rib end for hanging decorations or light,
• Base: it comes with a 3.28 wide square cross base. However, it doesn’t have weights. Buy separately, bolt to the deck or use sand weights. The umbrella is compatible with base wikiwiki 230 Lbs. Offset base B08PT48225 as H series above
• Dimensions: 10ft wide x 7.94 ft high (pole) x 7.87ft high (canopy top), and height to rib hub is 6.23ft high.
• Price: $189.00-$204.16

3. wikiwiki M Series Aluminum 10 FT Patio Cantilever Umbrella Outdoor Offset Umbrella with 360° Rotation

This wikiwiki M Series Aluminum 10 FT Patio Cantilever Umbrella Outdoor Offset Umbrella with 360° Rotation and infinite tilting system is the best cantilever the company has and what they consider as 10ft pro.

Like the others, the 2021 version has an upgrade. The 2021 upgrade is precisely like that of the S Series except for the pole, which is 25% thicker and not 20%, and the solution-dyed canopy fabric is 280gms and not 240 and has a 3-year warranty. You expect better shading and fabric longevity.

By far, this is their best cantilever. It is durable, can withstand low to moderate breezes better than the H and S series, and has a superior canopy quality. Most users love it and highly recommend it.

However, don’t forget that this umbrella isn’t for windy places, and it may break even with the 2021 improvements. Also, it’s slightly expensive, so is its base weight.

Details and specs

• Frame: Rust-free, powder-coated oval aluminum pole and eight ribs.
• Canopy: Waterproof (up to 800 pa), UV protected, PU coated 280gsm, solution-dyed fabric with a standard grade 5 protection from light.
• Canopy colors: Beige, brick red, navy blue, pine green, and wood
• Dimensions: 10ft wide by 8.20 ft high (pole). The canopy is 8.18ft tall, and its height to the rib hub is 8.18 ft
• Features: Infinite vertical tilt, 360-degree rotation, wind-vent, central hub compatible with lights, rib end Velcro for attaching lights or wind chimes, closure Velcro strap
• Base: 3.28ft cross-base without weights. The umbrella is only compatible with Wikiwiki 340 lbs. 4-Piece Offset Hanging Umbrella Weighted Base B08PG48K4Q. However, you can bolt it down or use sandbags of equivalent weights.
• Price: $269.00

wikiwiki Olefin 9 FT 2- or 3-Tier Market Umbrella Patio Outdoor Table Umbrellas

It’s not just the elegancy or beauty but also the superior wind resistance and a cool shaded area that makes the 2- and 3-tiers increasingly popular. The tiers help fast wind or hot air escape.

If you loved their 2020 version, here is more to smile about in their 2021 upgrade:

• The umbrellas have a 240gsm solution-dyed olefin fabric and not polyester. Olefin is the second-best umbrella fabric canopy after Sunbrella. It is durable, doesn’t mold, withstands abrasion, is eco-friendly, and affordable. Being heavy, it blocks UV light better, offers excellent shading. Their canopy comes with a 3-year colorfastness warranty making it superior to polyester.
• Wikiwiki improved the thickness of their pole by about 0.4mm or 25% for extra strength to ensure the umbrella doesn’t break easily.
• They have added Velcro straps at each rib ends for attaching decorations or lights
• The company upgraded the PA66 crank by strengthening the handle joint and redesigned it for smoother and delightful operation.
• Wikiwiki filled the tilt mechanism with a solid aluminum die-cast to increase its weight by 15% and weight it can bear from 30 pounds to 80 pounds.

These two umbrellas are gorgeous, sturdy. They stand up to wind reasonably well and will give you value for your money. However, despite the fabric upgrade, there are many complaints about the canopy fading too quickly, something that shouldn’t happen to olefin, and few people noted breakages or crank damage.

We recommend these umbrellas for places with low to moderate breezes with the 3-tier better than the 2-tier when it comes to wind resistance.

Details and specs

• Frame: Powder-coated steel frame made of a 1.48 pole diameter and ribs
• Canopy fabric: UV-protected, 240gsm, solution-dyed olefin with a US Standard AATCC 16 Grade 5 colorfastness.
• Features: Velcro at each rib end, push-button tilt to 3 levels, crank-lift, pin to secure canopy better, closure strap, 1 or 3 raised wind vents (tiers)
• Dimensions: 9ft wide by 8.2ft high. Crank and rib heights are 3.77ft and 6.33ft, respectively.
• Base: Buy separately. Wikiwiki 80lb filled Umbrella Weighted will suffice. However, if you live in a very windy place, go for a heavier base, mainly if you use it standalone.

1. wikiwiki Olefin 9 ft 2 Tier Market Umbrella Patio Outdoor Table Umbrellas

If you prefer one with two tiers (one raised wind-vent), it is available in brick red, cream beige, navy blue, mocha, and turquoise.

Price: $109.00

2. wikiwiki Olefin 9 ft 3-Tier Market Umbrella Patio Outdoor Table Umbrellas

The 3-tier design with two wind vents means that this umbrella will offer better wind resistance and be much cooler since it will allow wind or hot hair to escape faster.

It is available in brick red, cast slate, cream beige, mocha, navy blue, and turquoise colors, and the upper pole is 1.48 inches meaning the lower is larger than 1.5 inches. Be careful when buying the base or table with an umbrella hole.

Price: $119.00

Wikiwiki 7.5ft, 9ft, 10ft, 6.6ft x 9.8 Ft Olefin Market Umbrella Patio Outdoor Table umbrellas  

These three market umbrellas are now even much better than what you had in 2020 since after listening to customer feedback, wikiwiki decided to have the below upgrades:

• Wikiwiki switch from polyester to a thicker, 240gsm solution-dyed olefin with US Standard AATCC 16 Grade 5 colorfastness to light. Olefin is eco-friendly (has fewer wastages and is recyclable), resistant to abrasion, doesn’t grow mold, and is the second-best in colorfastness after Sunbrella. You will get a 3-year fade-resistant warranty. ,
• An increase of the steel pole thickness by a whopping 25%, meaning it is now much more robust and unlikely to break easily.
• The tilt mechanism is stronger than ever, thanks to the upgrade to a solid aluminum diet cast.
• Wikiwiki added Velcro straps on each rib end for hanging decoration, wind chimes, or string lights.
• To prevent breakages and promote a smooth operation, the company strengthened the crank join and redesigned it.

Details and specs

• Frame: Rust-free, powder-coated steel frame (pole and ribs)
• Canopy: 240gsm olefin 
• Colors: Brick red, cast slate, cream beige, forest green, navy blue, mocha, and turquoise, azure blue, orange, and rose red

• Price:  $89.00

Older versions

There are 2020 versions of the above umbrellas, which we don’t intend to review since, after our rigorous assessment, the 2021 upgraded versions are superior in every sense. Therefore, we don’t see the point in covering them.

Instead, we recommend you buy the upgrade versions and be on the lookout if there will be better versions in 2022.

Wikiwiki umbrella bases

If you have purchased any wikiwiki umbrellas and need a base, we recommend buying from the same manufacturer for compatibility reasons. Here is what they have:

1. Wikiwiki B08PT48225 230 lbs. Filled Cantilever/Offset Hanging Umbrella Weighted Base Plate Set

Wikiwiki 230 lbs. Offset Hanging Umbrella Weighted Base Cantilever Patio Umbrella Water & Sand Filled Weights Plate Set intended for use with Wikiwiki H and S umbrella and not the M series.

However, you can use this cantilever umbrella base with any other brand with a cross-base, up to 40 inches long, and it will fit closely and well.

The base is brown, has a charming appearance and a patterned texture to minimize slipping, and the HDPE plastic used to make it is durable and weather resistant.

Additionally, each plate has a water port and screw cap that is watertight to ensure no water leakages and reduces evaporation. It is well-rated, and many people highly recommend this base.

However, contrary to what Wikiwiki says, there are few complaints of leakages and that the screw cap isn’t watertight. Also, the base looks enormous, and it is cumbersome to fill it with sand since the filling ports are pretty small.

Finally, when filled with water, sand or sand and water, this base weigh 130lbs., 195 lbs3, or 230 lbs., respectively, and it measures 20.1″ long by 20.1″ wide by 2.6″ high.

Price: $139.00

2. Wikiwiki 80lb filled Umbrella Weighted Base Patio Market Umbrella Weights

Wikiwiki 80lb filled Umbrella Weighted Base Patio Market Umbrella Weights is a charming cone-shaped base with a concave-convex body.

It has a watertight screw cap, handgrip design for portability, and durable and sturdy construction made with weather-resistant HDPE plastic to ensure it lasts long.

The stand is compatible with Wikiwiki 7.5-10ft, 9ft 2-tier, or 9ft 3-tier market umbrellas and 6.6x 8.8ft rectangular market umbrellas.

We love the multiple size design and the fact that it can hold 2-2.4 inches pole without buying any other accessories.

Finally, it is 45 lb. when filled with water, 65 lb. when filled with sand alone, and 80 lb. when filled with sand and water and measures 21.9 inches in diameter and 11.4 inches high.

Price: $59.99

3. Wikiwiki 4-Piece Offset Hanging Umbrella Weighted Base Cantilever Patio Umbrella Weights Plate Set

This heavy-duty, sturdy, weather-resistant, and durable base fits cantilever umbrellas with a cross-base or crossbar specifically for the Wikiwiki M series.

It measures 39.2″ long x 39.2″ wide x 5.1″ high, with each rectangular plate measuring 9.8 inches by 39.2 inches by 5.1 inches.

We bet you will love the brown color, watertight seal (doesn’t leak), durable and weather-resistant HDPE plastic construction, and the slip-resistance matte surface pattern or finish. Also, it has handles/handgrips for easy filling and carrying

Wikiwiki 4-Piece Offset Hanging Umbrella Weighted Base Cantilever Patio Umbrella Weights Plate Set weighs 340lb when filled with sand and water, 280lb when filled with sand alone, and 190lb when filled with water.

Price: $159.90

4. Wikiwiki 26 lbs. Outdoor Patio Umbrella All-Iron Weight Base

This all-iron, antirust, heavy-duty base is a perfect choice for people who need a low-profile base for their market umbrella. It is powder-coated to prevent corrosion, features a lovely design and will last longer, and it is not bulky, i.e., it measures 14.2″ long X 14.2″ wide X 13.9″ high. 

Also, it will fit most umbrellas, including those with 2-2.4-inch poles without additional accessories or tools, thanks to the ring and gasket that allows it to fit various pole diameters.

Finally, while Wiki says that this base is compatible with Wikiwiki 7.5ft, 9ft, 10ft, and 6.6fy X 8.8 ft market umbrellas, we don’t think it is heavy enough to stabilize them. You need a heavier base, even if you use it with a table.

Price: $109.99

Wikiwiki umbrella covers review

Wikiwiki has three beautiful umbrella covers available in beige and brown or grey and army green to help protect your umbrella when it is not in use.

These covers have a UV-resistant, fade-resistant, wear and tear-resistant 600D oxford fabric with a PVC backing to ensure they are strongly waterproof and will last for a very long time even in changing weather conditions.

They also have various features such as the bottom adjustable drawstrings to secure the cover to the canopy, an Inner pouch for accessories storage, auxiliary folding fiber rod to help you install the cover

Finally, they are easy to clean. Just wipe it with a damp cloth, let it dry and keep it in its 600D Oxford fabric bag that comes with this cover.
