# How to Get an Umbrella to Tilt
Giant outdoor umbrellas are incredibly useful for providing shade in a sunny environment. However, this usefulness is limited by the angle of the sun and the angle of the umbrella. While changing the sun's path across the sky is impossible, getting your umbrella to tilt is not. You can have an adjustable umbrella in a matter of minutes.

2
Place the bottom of the umbrella in the pot, and tilt it to the desired angle.

Fill the pot with sand until the umbrella is able to remain in the desired position without you holding on to it. The weight of the sand and the plant pot should hold the umbrella in place.
