Patio umbrellas are outdoor shading devices designed to provide protection from the sun and light rain. They typically consist of a fabric canopy supported by a central pole, which can be anchored in a base or table. Available in various sizes, shapes, and colors, patio umbrellas enhance outdoor spaces like patios, decks, and gardens. These umbrellas can be easily opened and closed, making them convenient for temporary use. Many models feature adjustable angles, allowing users to tilt the canopy for optimal sun coverage throughout the day. Patio umbrellas are often made from weather-resistant materials to ensure durability in outdoor conditions.
