A Harken, yacht quality, double-pulley system can aid in the ease of opening and closing our umbrellas. If added to your umbrella order, a solid double braided nylon rope coupled with the Harken pulley system allows the umbrella to be easily pulled open. This provides easy access to the hold up pin hole, and is an almost mandatory neccesitty for our larger umbrellas or for people who desire easy and simple operating handling. Also included is a Sunbrella bag (same color as umbrella cover) to hold rope when umbrella is opened.
