Outdoor Umbrellas

Outdoor Umbrellas for Patios & Entertaining Areas

An outdoor umbrella provides flexible shade without requiring a permanent roof or shade structure. Depending on the design, umbrellas can be positioned around patios, courtyards and entertaining areas to provide coverage where it is most useful.

Umbrellas for Outdoor Dining

Outdoor umbrellas are particularly useful around dining areas, helping create a more comfortable place for daytime meals and entertaining.

Pair your umbrella with furniture from our Outdoor Dining collection to create a dedicated alfresco dining area.

Poolside & Garden Umbrellas

Outdoor umbrellas can also provide convenient shade beside pools, within landscaped gardens and around relaxation areas. Their flexibility allows shade to be incorporated without dominating the surrounding outdoor space.

Combine an umbrella with Sun Loungers to create a comfortable poolside, deck or garden relaxation area.

Choosing the Right Outdoor Umbrella

When comparing outdoor umbrellas, consider the size of the area you want to shade, canopy dimensions, available floor space, umbrella configuration, construction materials and the type of base or support required.

The position of the sun changes throughout the day, so consider how the umbrella's placement and adjustment features will affect shade coverage across the area you want to protect.

Outdoor Umbrella Bases & Stability

Correct support and stability are essential when using an outdoor umbrella. Base requirements vary according to the size and design of the umbrella, so always follow the manufacturer's specifications for the appropriate base, mounting method and operating conditions.

Outdoor umbrellas should not be used in unsuitable wind conditions and should be closed or secured according to the manufacturer's instructions when not in use.

Shade for Outdoor Lounge Areas

Outdoor umbrellas can also provide shade around lounge and conversation areas. Combine them with Outdoor Sofas to create a comfortable space for relaxing and entertaining during the day.

Outdoor Umbrellas vs Other Shading Options

Umbrellas provide flexible and relatively compact shade, while other outdoor shading solutions may be better suited to covering larger or more permanent entertaining areas.
