Patio umbrellas are great for any outdoor space where you will have people spending time. The shade from a patio umbrella protects from the sun and makes it more comfortable to enjoy outdoor activities. And while the umbrella itself gets all the attention, the umbrella base is an essential component of any patio umbrella set up. Find umbrella stands for increased stability and other patio essentials at Ace.  

Are Patio Umbrella Bases Universal?

Although they serve the same function, patio umbrellas are not universal. The type of outdoor umbrella stand you choose will depend on the model of your umbrella and where you plan to use it. There are three main types of umbrella bases, including:

  • Freestanding Patio Umbrella Stand: A freestanding patio umbrella can be placed anywhere you need extra shade. This is a versatile stand with plenty of options available.
  • Tabletop Umbrella Stands: A tabletop umbrella stand both supports your umbrella and also serves as a convenient side table for your patio. You can find tabletop stands in many sizes and shapes.
  • Offset Umbrella Stands: Stands designed for offset or cantilever umbrellas are designed with the off-center nature of this umbrella in mind. They are broader than a normal stand with extra base plates for stability.

What Kind of Outdoor Umbrella Stand is Best?

When it comes to the materials your umbrella base is made from, determining which is best will depend on your specific needs and preferences. You can pick different materials for your patio umbrella stand, each with its own qualities, including:

  • Resin: A resin base is durable and resistant to inclement weather. Resin umbrella bases are easy to clean and store when not in use and are typically filled with sand or water. Because they do not peel, rot or rust, you can confidently place them wherever without worrying about stains.
  • Steel: Umbrella stands that use steel or other metals are highly durable and efficient at keeping your umbrella stable. Keep in mind that steel can rust.
  • Cement: A cement umbrella stand is a much heavier base stand option but provides increased stability. It is durable against the elements and resists fading.
  • Granite: Weather-resistant and highly durable, granite umbrella holders are solid options for poolside umbrellas, with no-rust benefits ensuring they leave no stains.

Additionally, you can find patio umbrella base stands constructed of EnviroSTONE, which is durable, strong and made from environmentally friendly materials. This type of outdoor umbrella stand is 100% rustproof, meaning no stains on your deck or patio.

How to Choose the Right Patio Umbrella Base

Before you invest in a new umbrella holder, look at the following list of factors that will help you decide which one is best for your needs.

  • Opt for a rust-free option if you are worried about staining your wooden deck or patio.
  • Determine the necessary weight for your umbrella stand by multiplying the umbrella’s canopy width by 10. For example, a 10-foot umbrella canopy will need at least a 100lb umbrella base.
  • If you live in a high-wind area, invest in a heavier outdoor umbrella stand to help secure your umbrella during storms.
