Upgrade Your Outdoor Shade This Season
A quality patio umbrella adds comfort, sun protection, and style to any outdoor space. Whether you’re furnishing a balcony, deck, poolside, or backyard dining area, the Outsunny collection at Aosom Canada offers a wide range of patio umbrellas designed to suit every space and budget.
FAQs
A 10–11 ft patio umbrella is ideal for most 6-person dining tables, providing shade that extends beyond the table edges. For rectangular tables, a square cantilever umbrella often delivers more even coverage and keeps every seat comfortably shaded.
A market umbrella has a centre pole that fits through a table, making it ideal for dining sets. A cantilever umbrella places the pole to one side, creating unobstructed shade over seating, loungers, or pools, but it requires a heavier weighted base.
Use a heavy weighted base, preferably filled with sand or water, to improve stability. In windy areas, add a wind strap or tie-down for extra support. Always close the umbrella during strong winds, storms, or whenever it is left unattended outdoors.
Clean polyester umbrella fabric with mild soap, water, and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and let it dry fully before closing. For mould or mildew, use diluted white vinegar first. Avoid bleach, as it can damage and fade coloured outdoor fabrics.
Close your patio umbrella whenever winds reach 20–25 km/h, during storms, or before leaving it unattended. Keeping it closed when not in use helps prevent damage, reduces UV wear, and extends the lifespan of both the canopy and frame.
