Patio Umbrella

FAQ

What size patio umbrella should I buy?

Choose a canopy at least 2 ft wider than your table or seating area on each side. A 7-9 ft umbrella suits most home patios, while larger dining areas need 10 ft or bigger.

What's the difference between a market umbrella and a cantilever umbrella?

A market umbrella has a center pole that runs through the table's umbrella hole. A cantilever umbrella offsets the pole to the side and leaves the space under the canopy open.

How do I keep my patio umbrella from tipping over in wind?

Use a base weighted for your umbrella size, close the umbrella during storms or high wind, and consider anchoring larger umbrellas.

How long do patio umbrellas typically last?

Patio Kingdom patio umbrellas are backed by a 5-year warranty. Closing the canopy in bad weather and covering or storing it in the off-season helps it last.

Can I leave my patio umbrella outside all winter?

Yes. Aluminum and fiberglass frames resist rust and cold. Closing the canopy and covering or storing the umbrella in winter still extends the fabric's life.
