I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this situation, and what size would you recommend. I'm thinking 9 x 12 cantilevered. Is that too big?
The patio lounge chairs are directly in front of the lanai; the table and chairs are on the right in that little extended area, and the sun comes in from the right as you're sitting in the lounge chairs and covers the whole table and chairs.
Thanks for any opinions/experience.

We did the same thing at our CYV between the villas. Our afternoon sun was brutal. This works great. It does rock in wind so never leave it up when not there. We filled the base with 175 lbs. of play sand. Purchased the 10' umbrella and stand on Amazon.
