Find Great Patio Umbrellas to Add to Your Outdoor Furniture
When the weather starts to get warm, there's a rush to rediscover all the great outdoor spaces around your home. The patio and backyard, which were patiently waiting for your attention throughout the cold, winter months, now spring to life with unbridled activity. It's time to get out and soak up the sunshine!
But, if you're going to be spending significant portions of your day outside, you'll need a little something to keep you from absorbing too much of the sun's rays. A patio umbrella will not only provide a cool shaded area for you and your house guests to enjoy, but it also makes a stylish addition to your backyard.

Choosing the Best Spot for Your Outdoor Umbrella
A patio umbrella is an essential backyard accessory that will keep you and your guests cool and comfortable during the high heat of the summertime. That said, is there an optimal place to put these useful accessories to enjoy their benefits?
Realistically, you can put outdoor patio umbrellas a number of different spots in your backyard. However, when choosing the best location, make sure to leave enough space from walls, windows, tree branches, and other hazards for the umbrella to open unencumbered.
Yard umbrellas come in different shapes and sizes, with some of the most popular measuring 108 inches (9 feet) in diameter. You'll want to leave at least 5 feet of open space from the center of the canopy.
Once you've chosen the right size, what are some of the most common backyard locations for an outdoor umbrella?
If you love having summer dinners out in your backyard, an outdoor table umbrella makes a ton of sense. You can also add it to your poolside table.
Yes, you'll probably want to stretch out for some tanning action when you're sitting out by the pool. When you're tanning though, sometimes you want to give your skin a break. When that time comes, it's always a good idea to have some ready-made shade at your disposal.
A patio umbrella is also a perfect accessory for an outdoor sofa or sectional on a patio table. Try to match the size of the sofa to the wingspan of the canopy, so you can enjoy a great book or a conversation with your guests in the comforts of cool shade. The strong steel ribs of our umbrella's construction can protect your umbrella even in the harshest of windy conditions.
Want to enjoy the fruits of your gardening efforts? A garden umbrella for the green thumbs is a prudent choice. Place your gardening umbrella near your potted plants to decorate your table and provide some shade for plants that don't like being saturated in sun throughout the day.
Don't forget to add an umbrella stand to your patio if you don't have one already or don't have a stand in your table.
