Outdoor shades keep patios, decks and pool areas cool and protected from direct sun. This collection focuses on patio umbrellas, mainly cantilever (offset) umbrellas from 10 to 15 feet, with weighted or wheeled bases, 360-degree rotation, tilt settings, double tops and solar LED lighting options, plus a large rectangular market umbrella with base.

How to Choose the Right Outdoor Shades

  • Size the canopy about 2 feet wider than the area you want to shade; a 10 to 11 foot umbrella covers a table for 4 to 6.
  • Choose a cantilever umbrella to keep the pole off the table, or a center-pole style for a dining table with an umbrella hole.
  • Use a heavy base; models here include bases rated from about 320 to 350 lb, and wheels make moving them easier.
  • Look for 360-degree rotation and multiple tilt positions to follow the sun.
  • Pick fade-resistant fabric with a UPF rating and a wind vent or double top.
  • Solar LED lights add evening use without wiring.

Outdoor Shades FAQs

What size patio umbrella do I need?

Measure the table or seating area and add about 2 feet on each side. A 10 to 11 foot canopy suits most 4 to 6 person tables.

What is a cantilever umbrella?

A cantilever or offset umbrella hangs from a side pole, so the shade covers the area without a pole in the middle.

How heavy should an umbrella base be?

Large cantilever umbrellas generally need several hundred pounds of base weight. Follow the manufacturer's rating and close the umbrella in high winds.

Why do patio umbrellas have vents?

A vent or double top lets wind escape through the canopy, reducing lift and helping keep the umbrella stable.
