FAQ
-
What size patio umbrella do I need?
The size of your patio umbrella is determined by the space you want to cover. As a general rule, select an umbrella that is at least two feet larger than the space you want to shade.
-
What materials are your porch umbrellas made from?
Our models are made from high-quality materials, including durable aluminum frames and UV-resistant, water-repellent polyester canopies designed to withstand outdoor conditions.
-
How do I fix a patio umbrella crank?
If the crank mechanism isn't functioning properly, first ensure it's not obstructed by debris. Lubricate the moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant. If issues persist, consult the manufacturer's manual or contact customer support for further assistance.
-
How can I prevent my patio umbrella from blowing away?
Ensure your umbrella is equipped with a sturdy base of appropriate weight. For larger umbrellas, bases weighing between 50 to 75 pounds are recommended. Additionally, closing the umbrella during windy conditions can prevent damage.
-
How do I clean my patio umbrella?
Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance and longevity of your patio umbrella. Gently brush off loose dirt, then spot-clean stains with mild soap and water. Allow the umbrella to dry completely before closing or storing it.
-
Will my patio umbrella rust over time?
The patio umbrella's frame is made from durable materials to resist rust. However, exposure to moisture and salty air can lead to rusting over time. We recommend regularly inspecting the frame and wiping down metal components to prevent rust buildup. A protective cover can also help shield it from the elements.
-
Can I leave my outdoor patio umbrella outside during winter?
It's not advisable to leave your patio umbrella with base outside in winter, especially in areas with heavy snow or freezing temperatures. To extend its lifespan, store the umbrella in a dry place or cover it with a protective cover during the off-season. If you must leave it outdoors, ensure it's securely anchored, and consider using a protective cover to shield it from harsh weather.
-
What types of bases are available for outdoor porch umbrellas?
We offer a range of patio umbrella bases to suit different needs and styles. Our selection includes water-filled bases, which provide excellent stability, and traditional stand bases that are sturdy and versatile.
-
How heavy should a patio umbrella base be?
The base weight should correspond to the umbrella's size. A base weighing 65 to 75 pounds is recommended for a 10 ft patio umbrella. Larger umbrellas may require even heavier bases for added stability.
-
Can I use a patio umbrella without a base?
Using a patio umbrella without a proper base is not recommended, as it can lead to instability. Always ensure your umbrella is securely anchored with an appropriate base to prevent accidents.
-
What is the difference between a cantilever patio umbrella and a traditional patio umbrella?
A cantilever patio umbrella features an offset design, allowing for more flexible placement and providing shade without a central pole. Traditional umbrellas have a central pole and are typically placed through a table's umbrella hole.
-
What size patio umbrella do I need for a rectangular table?
For a rectangular table, we recommend selecting a patio umbrella that is about 2 to 3 feet wider than the length of your table to ensure ample shade. A 9ft patio umbrella is a great option for most rectangular tables, providing ample shade. For smaller tables, a small patio umbrella may be sufficient to meet your needs.
-
How long will the lights on my patio umbrella last?
The patio umbrella with lights comes equipped with 32 LED solar lights, which can last anywhere from 9 to 12 hours on a full charge, providing long-lasting illumination for your outdoor space. The solar panel charges the rechargeable battery throughout the day, so there's no need for electricity or power cords.
-
Can I use a large umbrella for patio in windy conditions?
While large patio umbrellas can withstand mild winds, it's important to secure them properly with a heavy-duty base. For added stability in windy areas, you can also choose to buy extra weights to provide additional support and keep your umbrella secure.
-
Can I change the canopy on my patio umbrella if it gets damaged?
Yes, we offer replacement tops for our patio umbrellas in the accessories section of our website. If the top is damaged upon arrival, please contact our customer service team for warranty inquiries and assistance. We will help you with the process to ensure you get the proper replacement.
-
What color patio umbrella is best for sun protection?
Darker colors, such as navy blue, black, and charcoal, typically offer better UV protection as they absorb more sunlight. Lighter colors like beige or white patio umbrellas can reflect sunlight, but they may not provide as much UV protection.
-
Can I customize my patio umbrella?
Yes, we offer customization options for some of our patio umbrellas. You can choose from a variety of colors, patterns, and sizes to match your outdoor decor or branding needs.
