Double Vented Patio Umbrella Reviews

Updated: January 30, 2019     Eric Clark

Patio umbrella vents help keep an umbrella stable and upright, even in windy situations. Most patio and market umbrellas have a single wind vent: a flap of fabric at the top of the umbrella that is designed to allow wind to travel through the umbrella and to prevent lofting of the umbrella. Some umbrella designs feature double wind vents, which allow a significantly greater amount of air to flow through the canopy. A Double vented patio umbrella is generally more expensive than a single vent patio umbrella, and are often built with higher quality components and materials than single vent patio umbrellas are.

Vented Patio Umbrella Guide: Keep Your Umbrella From Sailing Away!

Updated: August 8, 2018     Eric Clark

Patio umbrellas are essentially large fabric sails attached to a base weight and maybe to a table. Strong wind gusts can do great damage to a patio umbrella (and to those sitting nearby, if the umbrella lofts at the wrong time!) Due to this issue, most market umbrellas sold are vented in some way. A vented patio umbrella is designed to allow air to flow through the umbrella, and exit out through the vent. This helps keep the umbrella stable during gusty conditions and also encourages fresh air to flow around the umbrella, keeping the air cool and comfortable.

The Patio Umbrella Cone: Keep Your Umbrella Stable!

Updated: August 7, 2018     Eric Clark

The Patio Umbrella Cone
The Patio Umbrella Cone

Patio umbrella poles are usually a good deal smaller than the opening supplied in a patio table. This difference means that it is easy to insert the umbrella into the table, but it also means that there is often a large gap between the shaft and the table. This opening can cause the umbrella to lean awkwardly, to rub against the table edge, to make annoying noises, and can scratch the finish off of the umbrella pole. The easiest fix for this is the patio umbrella cone!

These clever little devices fit around your patio umbrella shaft and create a solid, snug connection between the patio table and the umbrella.

This article looks closely at the patio umbrella cone and reviews a few different brands of these clever little devices.

Wooden Market Umbrellas Reviewed

Best Wooden Market Umbrella

Wooden market umbrellas provide a timeless air to your patio or garden space. The simplicity of the design, the lack of a crank mechanism, and the beauty of real wood make these umbrellas quite compelling. Also, the price point is frequently surprisingly good, compared to aluminum and metal umbrellas of similar quality. After examining the product lines of several wooden market umbrellas, we have determined that the best wood patio umbrella is the TropiShade 11′ wooden market umbrella.

It’s huge, and looks great, at an unbeatable price point. The fabric is a high quality Olefin material, and the umbrella features 8 ribs and 4 pulleys to make opening and closing easy.

Articulating Patio Umbrella Reviews and Information

Updated: January 22, 2019     Eric Clark

An articulating patio umbrella can bring an unmatched sense of style to a patio or garden space that is simply not possible with typical patio umbrellas. The cantilever design of these umbrellas, coupled with tilt and rotation functionality, makes them incredibly versatile and useful. After a thorough review of the market for articulating patio umbrellas, we have determined that the best articulating patio umbrella is the Sorara TrueShade Plus 10′ rectangular offset umbrella.

It has outstanding control and configuration functionality and is built with only the highest quality materials.

Unfortunately, it comes at a very high price! Also, it is only available in a single color option, which many buyers will not be thrilled by.

No products found.

That said, this is an outstanding offset umbrella, with Sunbrella fabric, an aluminum frame, and all the tilt and rotation functions you could want.
