Outdoor Umbrellas

Cantilever umbrellas are designed to be used over outdoor sectionals or sofa sets, however, they can also be used to provide shade for patio dining sets that don't have an umbrella hole. Having a shady spot outdoors for your friends and family is a necessity, and these outdoor umbrellas are also beautiful accents in your backyard that will instantly improve the appeal and create an inviting place to gather outdoors. Cantilever umbrellas are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to meet all your outdoor shade needs.

PatioProductions.com offers cantilever, also known as offset or side post umbrellas that are made with quality materials that will withstand the elements. From aluminum frames with a powder coated paint finish to rugged outdoor fabrics like Sunbrella, O'Bravia, and Recacril, with just a little bit of care your offset umbrella will keep you cool in the shade for many years. These outdoor umbrellas can be mounted into the ground, concrete or wood deck, and there are also non-permanent umbrella base options to keep your new cantilever umbrella secure. Many of these umbrella bases include wheels, so you can easily move the offset umbrella into the desired spot in your backyard.

What's the difference between Market and Cantilever Umbrellas?

Market umbrellas are classic-style umbrellas that you'll often see standing in the middle of a patio table. The stem of the umbrella is situated in the center of the canopy. These are often featured in outdoor bistros, commercial settings, and other "en plein air" establishments.

Cantilever umbrellas, on the other hand, are offset behind or beside the patio furniture. You'll often find cantilever umbrellas in modern outdoor spaces. The umbrella is suspended over the seating area with a sort of crane or curved arm. In this way, cantilever umbrellas provide plenty of cool shade without being intrusive. This type of umbrella is perfect for a poolside patio arrangement.

Our side post cantilever umbrellas are designed to conform to the highest quality standard. They are specifically built to withstand the worst that nature has to offer, as they are water-resistant, fade-proof, and heavy duty.

The material used for our umbrella canopies is similar to canvas, but sturdier and more waterproof. They require minimal maintenance, and the umbrella frames are crafted in aluminum to be sturdy enough to last a lifetime.

How to keep your cantilever umbrella in tip-top shape:

First, we recommend that when you are not using your patio umbrella that it is kept in the closed position, this will prevent wind damage when those unexpected gusts occur. All offset umbrellas have ties on the canopy to keep it secure, and oftentimes a protective cover is included which helps to keep the umbrella secure and clean. The umbrella canopy fabric can be hosed off, and a solution of mild dish soap and water can be used to clean stubborn stains. Use a soft cloth with water to remove dust and dirt from the aluminum frame.

Following these simple steps will keep your umbrella in great condition for years to come. The durability of our umbrellas make them a perfect addition to any residential or commercial space. Our commercial patio umbrellas are particularly equipped to handle excess wear and tear! Weighted bases are available for those who live in windier climates.
