If you're looking for an equivlent sized umbrella in a different shape, use this to determine what you're looking for:

  • 7.5' Octagon (8 Rib) Umbrella = 5.5' Square (4 Rib) Umbrella
  • 9' Octagon (8 Rib) Umbrella = 6.5' Square (4 Rib) Umbrella
  • 11' Octagon (8 Rib) Umbrella = 7.5' Square (4 Rib) Umbrella
