Shading Solutions

Patio Umbrellas are essential to any outdoor living space as they provide much needed shade on a sunny day and offer a nice touch of color to any outdoor area. Outdoor patio umbrellas are used in front yards, back yards, poolside, and in the middle of an outdoor dining set as an outdoor table umbrella.
Before purchasing a patio umbrella, consider the size you will need, the style of umbrella, and what features are most important to you. Outdoor patio umbrellas range from 2 metres up to 10 meters, with products available at every size in between.
Outdoor patio umbrellas sometimes include special features that are beneficial when the sun is moving throughout the day or when you want to move your patio furniture. Tilting umbrellas are the most common feature with outdoor umbrellas, which are designed to block the sunlight as the sun travels across the sky. Tilting mechanisms include collar tilt, manual tilt, push button, and rotational.
There are also several types of lift mechanisms available to best suit your needs. Outside umbrellas, the lift mechanism options are push-up, crank, pulley and pin, or lever and latch. Other popular features of patio umbrellas include swivel, lighting, collapsible storage, and wind vents.
