Let’s take a look at some benefits of patio umbrella:

• Easy To Setup: Patio umbrellas are very easy to set-up. Assembling the umbrella involves placing the base at a point and simply fastening the canopy over it. Thereafter, you can move the umbrella wherever you want to use it.
• Mobility: The best part about patio umbrellas is that they are designed in such a way that they can be easily moved from one point to another without making elaborate changes. Also, they do not require special tables with holes drilled into them either.
• Flexibility: The umbrellas are designed in such a way that they allow for user-flexibility. The user is not bound by a specific set-up of furniture and can add or withdraw seats as required.
• 360 Degree Coverage: The 360-degree coverage allows for easy tilting of the umbrella canopy. You can enjoy shade all day on sunny days by simply tilting the angle of your patio umbrella as per the direction of the sun. The feature is also helpful in shielding rain.
• Easier To Store And Re-Use: Modern patio umbrellas are easy to store as they are not stuck to a particular table. For storage, you have to close the umbrella and move it to the storage place. When needed again, simply place it at a point and open it.
• Easy To Operate: Operating a patio umbrella is extremely easy due to features like slider mechanism, smooth hand crank operations and 360 degree rotation.
• Great For Pools: Patio umbrellas are perfect for outdoor pool areas. These versatile umbrellas can be used for providing shade over both the pool and lounge chairs.
• Suitable For All Seasons: A good patio umbrella can be used throughout the year irrespective of weather conditions. Their canopies are crafted for high-performance in all weather conditions.
• Easy Maintenance: The canopies used on patio umbrellas are made from a colorfast material which is easy to clean. Mild soap and water will suffice the purpose of cleaning the canopy.

• Size: Your patio umbrella’s size should be proportionate to the size of the table over which it will stand. Also, it is important to make sure that the canopy of umbrella covers the table completely and the base of umbrella is heavy enough to stay in place. Assess your hardscape and softscape before buying a patio umbrella. Also consider where the roof of your house ends, the location of an outdoor kitchen/grill, and see whether the space is sufficient for a large or small outdoor umbrella.
• Types Of Patio Umbrellas: Common types of patio umbrellas are sunshades, market umbrellas, pagoda, cantilever, logo umbrellas, commercial-grade umbrellas, etc. Some patio umbrellas come with additional perks like luxury drapes for added privacy. It is important to note that patio umbrellas differ from beach umbrellas and can’t be used inter-changeably.
• Material: When buying a patio umbrella, consider the material used on its frame. Look for one made from a weather-resistant and durable material such as aluminum, outdoor-tolerant wood, fiberglass, etc. Modern umbrellas are made from UV-resistant fabrics which come in an assortment of textures, colors, finishes and prints.
• Mechanics: If you want your patio umbrella to be open throughout the season, then the low-tech pulley type umbrellas are the best for you. They have large attached pin locks to keep them firmly in place. The expensive variants of outdoor umbrellas have cranks and tilt possibilities, push buttons, and more features. Cantilever Patio Umbrellas are the deluxe version of outdoor umbrellas as they offer an increased range of motion and are extremely sturdy for the outdoors.
• Shapes: Outdoor umbrellas come in many shapes, the most common one being the round shape. However, market umbrellas are octagonal, and others are rectangular for providing more shade.
• Climatic Conditions: For windy areas, an umbrella should have replaceable canopy ribs, it should be flexible, have a large diameter pole and an extra-heavy base. If you are near the ocean or on high altitudes, opt for one with an aluminum pole as well as UV-resistant and mildew resistant canopy fabric.
• Budget: Never compromise on quality just for a cheaper patio umbrella. Stretch your budget to buy an umbrella with a tough canopy fabric, strong pulley systems, endurance and durability.
