A quality patio umbrella will help you get the most of your outdoor environment, providing relief on hot summer days with a welcome bit of shade for your patio set. The experts here at Umbrella Specialists are standing by to help you with finding the right one for you and your family.
Picking the right outdoor patio umbrella begins with selecting the right size for the area you are looking to shade. Most umbrella canopies have a diameter of 6 feet all the way to 13 feet. Another decision is if you want a crank or push umbrella. Crank umbrellas make it easy to raise and lower the umbrella’s canopy, while a push umbrella will mean a little more work to manually lock the canopy into place.
The type of umbrellas you buy might also be affected by where you intend to put it – will it be in a table? Or will it be placed near or between chaise lounges? Perhaps you want it to shade part of your pool? Choosing between a center pole (usually placed in a table or between two chaises) and a cantilever (offset) umbrella that can be used in a variety of locations on your patio is often the first decision to make.
What shape to choose is another factor – round (octagon), square or rectangle are the typical choices one must make.
Other important considerations are the colorfastness of the canopy material, and whether it’s UV and water-resistant. Whether you invest a little or a lot in your new patio umbrella, one thing is for sure: you’ll enjoy all the shade and convenience the right umbrella can offer.
Here are 5 of the best outdoor patio umbrellas for 2020:
Bambrella Levante Round Bamboo Center Pole Patio Umbrella is Bambrella’s best selling model. The Round Bambrella Levante is a beautiful umbrella made using a single piece pole for extra strength and durability. It has simple clean lines and a contemporary feel of stainless steel and natural bamboo.
This umbrella has it all, strength, style and functionality:
If you are looking for an umbrella that is a little more versatile than a traditional center pole umbrella, the Levante Side Wind collection from Bambrella may be the perfect shade solution. Depending on your patio or an outdoor area like a deck or balcony, one of these bamboo umbrellas can give you shade in multiple locations without ever having to move the umbrella itself!
This is because the Levante Side Wind cantilever bamboo umbrella is engineered to rotate 360° about the base. With it’s high design, this offset umbrella is crafted so that one can easily tilt the canopy up to a 45° angle.
So this side pole umbrella can provide shade for a table and chairs (as pictured below) and as the sun moves in the sky, can be rotated and tilted to provide shade on another area of your patio.
Or use it to shade a double chaise lounge (second photo) and also block out sun in the nearby pool just by tilting the canopy!
If you are looking for value at a modest price point, look no further than this traditional patio umbrella from Fiberbuilt.
These light-duty 7.5-foot hexagonal Patio umbrellas feature market style spun poly canopies, and a two-piece, 1.5″ diameter aluminum pole with a .065 (1.65 mm) wall thickness. Can be used for both in-table and freestanding use. These budget-friendly market style umbrellas provide years of shaded comfort to backyards and pool decks. (Not designed for high wind locations).
Featuring powder coated frame for a long lasting and fade resistant finish, these umbrellas are available in either a white or champagne bronze pole finish. Chose from 6 vibrant furniture grade acrylic fabric canopies designed to resist mold and fading. These umbrellas carry a 5-year warranty on the fiberglass support ribs and a 1-year upholstery warranty. A push button tilt mechanism allows for two different tilt angles.
