Furniture Fashion has shown our readers some outstanding patio furniture that will no doubt make the leisure times much more fun, and here is another great find. The folks at D'firo Designs have added a new twist on the otherwise typical patio umbrellas we use to keep us cool and out of direct sunlight. The Vizor has a unique oblong shape that puts you in the shade as the suns position changes, unlike the typical round umbrellas that offer protection from over head sunlight. In addition a rope and pulley free system allows you to open the Vizor in an "easy, effortless, and efficient manner". The signature handle turns a patented internal extension-retraction mechanism, allowing the Vizor's longest rib to clear your table in a closed position, keeping the handle easily accessible. The internal components are durable, smoothly operating, and will provide years of maintenance-free operation. The Vizor shade system offers maximum shade with 9', 11', and 16' foot octagonal options as well as tilting and cantilever features that allow for convenient positioning.
