Umbrella for patios are just large versions of the standard hand held type. They will come in variations of shapes, sizes and colors. There are many different types that you can choose from.

Types of Patio Umbrellas

Market Umbrella for Patios

These are great for outdoor table settings that have a hole already made in the table, typically market umbrellas are of lightweight materials and are very easy to handle. They are also available in free standing and come in a wide range of colors and fabrics.

Offset Umbrellas for Patios

As the name says the umbrella is offset from the centre and this allows a lot more room directly underneath. The pole comes offset to one side and not at the centre of the umbrella. This will work well if your table does not come with a hole in the middle of the table. A plus point is they can help to shade an area if you have just sitting and no table as they are freestanding.

Gazebo Patio Umbrella

These are much the same as your market type, but they have netting that comes down the sides, this netting is used to stop insects and bugs from entering. The netting is machine washable and the umbrellas will fold down to a relatively small size.

Where to Buy your Patio Umbrella.

There are many online stores that you can purchase your umbrellas and with a little bit of time and effort you will be able to find the right one for your garden. Other alternatives are department stores, and home and improvement stores.
