Patio umbrellas and bases
Know the wind, the sun and the curb line
Read the frame line first, then the seat: aluminum, resin, synthetic teak and coated steel all live outside. A few models are marked for covered patios only, so put those under a roof or an awning. Slatted seats shed a shower faster than solid ones, and a stackable chair cuts the nightly breakdown in half.
Buy the base with the canopy: the patio umbrellas and bases here run 7.5, 9 and 11 feet, and each freestanding umbrella base lists the canopy sizes it accepts.
Plan the umbrella and its support
Check the listed umbrella, base, and table-hole details as separate components unless a listing explicitly includes them together. Follow the product instructions for installation, use, and storage.
Check the stated use
Read the listed indoor or outdoor use and the material details for each product. A patio photograph or a similar-looking finish is not a substitute for the product description.
Shade for the two-tops and a base heavy enough to hold it. 13 items here: aluminum umbrellas in 7.5, 9 and 11 feet, a 9-foot wood umbrella, freestanding bases in steel, concrete, cast iron and stainless steel, and umbrella table bases at table and bar height. Decide canopy size first, because every freestanding base lists the sizes it will take.
Canopy, pole and lift
Every umbrella here has a 1 1/2-inch pole. The aluminum models come in three canopy sizes with fiberglass ribs; the 7.5 and 9-foot sizes push up, and the 11-foot adds a pulley lift. A 9-foot aluminum umbrella stands 103 inches tall with 83 3/4 inches of clearance under the canopy. The 9-foot wood umbrella has wood ribs and 77 inches of clearance. Measure those numbers against your tallest server and your door swing: 77 inches under the wood canopy, 82 to 85 under the aluminum ones.
Canopy fabric, plus the pole finish on the aluminum models, is chosen on the product page, from three fabric lines with dozens of colors. Get a fabric swatch before one canopy color covers a whole street front.
Bases that hold
A canopy is a sail. The base keeps it on the ground.
- Steel, 50 pounds, for 7.5 and 9-foot canopies
- Concrete and steel with casters, 75 pounds, for 7.5 and 9-foot canopies
- A cast iron umbrella base, 95 pounds, for 7.5, 9 and 11-foot canopies
- Stainless steel with casters, in 20 or 24-inch squares, for 7.5, 9 and 11-foot canopies
Each base lists its own canopy sizes, and the steel and concrete bases stop at 9 feet. Casters help on a sidewalk where the umbrella moves with the sun. On a roof, take the heaviest base the canopy allows, and fold every canopy down when gusts start or the last table leaves.
Through the table or beside it
Umbrella table bases put the pole through the tabletop: square and round styles at 28 inches for dining and 41 inches for bar height. Pair them with a top from patio tables with umbrella hole. A freestanding base beside the table leaves the top whole and lets one canopy shade two tables. Our guide to the standing umbrella base weighs the four against each other.
Close the canopy whenever the patio is empty, and store it dry at season end; a wet canopy folded away stays wet. Bases start around $121, umbrellas from about $220.
Shopping bases with other hardware? Accessories collects them. Mark each umbrella's spot in an outdoor plan, so the canopy count matches the table count before you send the order.
