Patio umbrellas are great additions to any outdoor setting. They protect you from the sun’s harmful U.V. rays and help you enjoy your outdoor furniture for longer periods of time. Table top or market style umbrellas as well as cantilever umbrellas have matching accessories that will extend the life of your umbrella as well as compliment your umbrella. Below are some accessories you can consider when purchasing your umbrella:

Patio Umbrella’s

Patio umbrella’s serve several purposes including protecting our skin from harmful UV exposure, providing shade solution on a sunny day, or adding a vibrant colour to your outdoors.

Umbrella’s come in a variety of sizes starting with the standard 9′ and moving to 10′, 11′, 10′x13′. Choices of colour are endless including new for 2010 Capri Blue and Tangerine by Sunbrella.

Cantilever umbrellas are offset to your patio furniture. They generally have large cantilever arms that retract and rotate allowing a versatile and functional umbrella. These umbrella’s to came in a range of sizes including 10′, 11′ and 13′. Again choose what colour suits your decor.

Accessorizing you umbrella has been made easy, here are some suggestions:

Patio Umbrella Base:

Umbrella bases are sold separate from the umbrella and there is a selection of bases to meet your needs. The umbrella base must be heavy enough to support the umbrella and keep it from falling over in a “regular” wind. Note, your umbrella should always be closed, if not disassembled, when not in use.

Umbrella bases come in a variety of materials including, concrete, plastic, cast iron and marble.

Cantilever umbrella bases must be filled with sand in order to provide maximum stability. Water is not recommended as it evaporates over time and can leave your umbrella vulnerable to being knocked over.

Patio Umbrella Cover:

To preserve the life of your umbrella, consider a protective cover. When your patio umbrella is not in use and dry keep it covered when possible. This will keep the fabric cleaner and reduce the natural fading process.

Patio Umbrella Lights:

Enjoy your patio when the sun sets by adding an umbrella light to your collection. Umbrella lights are fastened to the umbrella pole and operate on LED lights. You can increase or decrease the lighting.  Our Vega Lights come equipped with a rechargeable battery and charger, giving you years of ambient lighting.
