Patio umbrellas offer much more than just protection from the sun—they also bring that extra flair to your outdoor space. Make your patio pop with umbrellas in colorful patterns or bring an island vibe to your backyard with
beach umbrellas. Our selection will help you choose the best outdoor umbrellas for a cool patio experience.
Patio Umbrella Size Matters
An umbrella that’s too big can feel like it takes up all the space in your yard. An umbrella that’s too small won’t provide sun protection for everyone. Follow this simple rule: your patio umbrella extends over your patio table by 2 feet on each side.
Small patio umbrellas are 7 feet in diameter and under and work well in compact patio areas or decks. Medium patio umbrellas are 7.5 to 10 feet in diameter, while large and extra-large patio umbrellas have a diameter of 10.5 feet or more.
Patio Umbrella StylesChoose from styles and materials that match your outdoor space and decor. Patio umbrellas are freestanding with poles in the middle or to one end. This patio furniture addition comes in black, neutral, metallic and bright shades, with multiple fabrics and design options.
Rectangular umbrellas pair well with longer patio dining tables and solar lighted umbrellas will light up the outdoors as the sun goes down.
Cantilever umbrellas are ideal for homes with large outdoor dining areas or sectional seating.
Market umbrellas are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes.
Sunbrella umbrellas are colorful and vibrant, made with high performance, fade- and mildew-resistant fabrics.
For minimal outdoor decorating, skip all the guesswork and select a patio umbrella set so everything matches. You can even choose a solar-lighted umbrellas or
patio umbrella with lights built in, for a dazzling nighttime look.
Patio Umbrella Stands & CoversThe size of your outdoor umbrella or table umbrella will determine the weight and design of the base needed to keep the unit upright and steady on your patio or deck.
Patio umbrella stands are designed to keep your umbrella anchored and in place during strong winds and storms. A patio table umbrella made to go through the hole of an outdoor dining table needs a secure
umbrella stand, even if it’s being steadied by the patio dining table itself. We offer stands made of wood, plastic or metal, all designed look great with your patio umbrella and the rest of your outdoor furniture.
A 20- to 30-pound stand is sufficient for most patio umbrellas. For large canopies and umbrellas, consider a heavy
cast iron umbrella stand designed to withstand the strong winds. Whatever type of base you choose, all our umbrella stands are rust-resistant and ideal for all-season weather.
If you plan to move your patio umbrella on a consistent basis, choose umbrella stands with wheels built in. They let you roll your umbrella from one place to the next to enjoy shade by the pool, fire pit, grill and more.
We make it simple to choose and fit your lifestyle. Our standard and decorative umbrella bases typically do not require assembly and are measured and designed to fit most patio dining tables.
