THE BEST OUTDOOR PATIO UMBRELLAS FOR YOUR BACKYARD

THE BEST OUTDOOR PATIO UMBRELLAS FOR YOUR BACKYARD

|

Spending summer outdoors is only enjoyable if you have a shady retreat nearby. The easiest way to create shade on your deck, patio or in your backyard is to add a patio umbrella. Patio umbrellas come in a variety of sizes, styles and materials so you can pick the best one for your lifestyle and location.

Choosing the Right Patio Umbrella

There’s a lot to think about when choosing the best patio umbrella for your space. First, determine the size you need.

SIZE: The size of your umbrella will determine the type of base you need to keep your umbrella steady through various weather conditions. Looking for an umbrella to shade your outdoor dining space? Follow this pro tip from The Home Depot: "Your umbrella should extend over the dining table by at least two feet on each side for optimal shade." Umbrellas start around five feet in diameter and can reach 15 feet or more.

TYPE: Next, determine the type of umbrella you need for your space and lifestyle. There are a few main types to consider: market umbrellas, cantilever umbrellas, rectangular umbrellas and umbrellas with lights. Market umbrellas, or patio table umbrellas, have a pole in the middle and will fit through the hole in an outdoor dining table. Cantilever umbrellas attach to a pole on one end, making them ideal for outdoor seating areas. Rectangular umbrellas have more diameter, so they can cover large outdoor seating and dining areas. There are even patio umbrellas with built-in solar-powered LED lights perfect for nighttime use. You may find several styles combined into one powerful umbrella if there are several features you love.

ACCESSORIES:  Once you’ve determined the size and style of your patio umbrella, you'll need to grab a few accessories. Most outdoor umbrellas don’t come with bases, so you’ll need to buy that separatelyFollow this pro tip from The Home Depot: "To find a freestanding umbrella base with the proper weight to hold your umbrella, multiply the diameter of your umbrella by 10." That means that for a seven-foot-wide umbrella, you’ll need a base that weighs at least 70 pounds. Umbrella bases come in a variety of styles and materials, too, from heavy cast iron to water-filled. Bases start around $30 with high-end models hitting the $150 price point.

PROTECTION: Whether your outdoor space gets hit hard by the sun or receives a lot of rain, you'll want to protect your investment with an umbrella coverCovers are typically weather-resistant with zippers or Velcro for extra protection and only cover the fabric umbrella (not the stand or base). Prices for covers start around $15 and go up to $75, so they're a worthwhile add-on when you buy an umbrella.

Now that you know what you need, it's time to start shopping! We've started the process for you by picking the best outdoor patio umbrellas for a variety of spaces and purposes.

Love the material of this umbrella. Feels like canvas. Very sturdy and I think it will hold up well. I purchased the Navy. Hopefully it will not fade. So easy to crank up and down. Great price for the quality of this umbrella. Highly recommend!

Paula Jane,

Very sturdy!

Laura H.,

So far so good.

Bob,

The last umbrella I had did not have the tilt option and that was important to me when I was looking for a new umbrella. To make the most of the umbrella’s shade, the tilt option is necessary in my location. It has been a great purchase at a reasonable price.

Amy,

I usually dont write reviews, but I actually like this Umbrella. Its the color I want. I should have got the stand with it also.

Ruff Toyz,

I needed something for a tight area on my deck. I bought this in lime green. I LOVE it. It is easy to maneuver, and it is very effective in blocking the sun for our deck.
