“After reaching into a wasp nest, I wanted to create an improved patio umbrella that allows you to easily access the crank handle when opening the umbrella. My design also enables you to inspect the underside of the umbrella before placing your hand underneath to crank the handle. No need to risk unseen critters or insect nests. Also for taller folks, no need to bend over backwards to find the handle." David Niemeyer.
