Large Shaded Area For Perfect Lounging
Abba Patio presents to your attention a large round cantilever patio umbrella that is designed to perfectly blend into any outdoor environment and nicely complement your garden or backyard. It is a perfect solution for an outdoor veranda or terrace in your country house. It will definitely help you spend your holiday with more comfort, as it will provide a reliable protection from the scorching sun, if it sizzles, and from the rain if it drizzles. This large 11-foot patio umbrella can shade the area of up to 95 square feet. It can accommodate a fairly large crowd of jolly guests sitting restfully on a sofa or other comfy outdoor furniture, hanging out by the pool or spa areas, as well as enjoying the meals around a big dining table with up to 8 chairs. In a word, this offset patio umbrella can offer a versatility of placement.
The convenient rotating mechanism features various tilts to keep you always in cool but regrettably does not allow rotating the canopy by 360 degrees.
The canopy is made of olefin fabric, a synthetic material derived from the polyolefin, which boasts exceptional strength and durability. In the process of its manufacturing, special stabilizers are added to the composition of the fabric to minimize the effects of sunlight damage. But olefin fabric is highly resistant not only to fading, but also to abrasion, stains, and deformation under the heavy rain.
All these factors make this umbrella an adequate shield for outdoor recreation and can guarantee its long and reliable service life under various weather conditions. Note, that the included storage case will safely and reliably protect your patio umbrella from mold, dust, and mildew when it is not in use.
It Won’t Fly With The Wind
The strength and stability of this umbrella are ensured by a sturdy aluminum powder coated pole that can effectively resist rust and corrosion. Hence, this patio umbrella is not afraid of rain and moisture. A thick oval tube will keep the canopy steady even in windy and inclement weather conditions. The sturdy anchoring cross base provides the umbrella with unfaltering stability. A large 11-foot canopy, supported by 8 aluminum ribs, can be easily opened and closed with the help of the convenient crank lifting system, which allows you to have full control over the canopy. A large number of ribs ensures the right folding of the umbrella without creating any wrinkles on the fabric. The 4-position vertical tilting function of the canopy will enable you to choose a preferred position and maximize the shaded area to accommodate all of your guests.
Secure Installation
This cantilever patio umbrella features a solid anchoring cross base, which assumes its placement as a stand-alone unit in your backyard or open-air terrace. Given its curved shape of the supporting pole, original design and considerable weight of the canopy, you need to take care of adding additional loads to the base. It can be concrete weights or paving stones (which can be purchased separately). For optimal stability and to make your umbrella securely fixed, the manufacturer recommends adding 4 plates with a weight of 30 pounds each (and a total weight of around 120 pounds). Provide yourself with quality protection from piercing sun rays and enjoy refreshing relaxation in the cool shade of the large cantilever patio umbrella from Abba Patio.
If you wish to bring some warmth and happiness to your backyard or patio, as well as unwind with family or friends after hard working day looking at the blazing flames, we suggest purchasing one of these amazing fire pits, which can also serve as a stylish decoration to any decor.

Everything Illuminated
The presented patio umbrella with lights is manufactured using high-quality materials and boasts an elegant modern design that will be a nice addition to a spacious backyard, garden, or any recreational area in the outdoor cafés, spa or countryside resorts. Placed on the terrace or by the pool it will provide you and your friends with comfortable protection from the scorching sun or the chilling rain and give you the pleasure of spending your time outdoors in any weather. With the help of this adorable patio umbrella, you will be able to create a truly cozy and enchanting atmosphere in your yard thanks to the lovely LED lights embedded in the umbrella ribs. The lights are powered by the integrated solar battery installed on top of the canopy. The battery accumulates enough energy during the day so that with the onset of the evening the illumination under the umbrella’s canopy can produce peaceful ambiance and ample lighting for a period of around 9 to 12 hours. Hence, it will allow you to stay all night illuminated by its soft lights and meet the sunrise with your loved one. Solar batteries will be amply recharged in the daylight even if it rains (since they are not afraid of moisture).
Therefore, this patio umbrella with lights will be ideal for evening gatherings with friends, parties by the pool, barbecues on the terrace or romantic dates, as its discreet amiable presence will naturally create a lively, warm, and engaging atmosphere in any environment.
Durable But Simple In Use
This model boasts an outstanding combination of convenience and latest technological solutions. This outdoor patio umbrella with lights is made of high-quality materials that will ensure its long service life. The pole is made of a solid aluminum alloy, resistant to oxidation and rusting even in the areas with heavy rain precipitation. The canopy is supported by 8 steel ribs pivotally secured to the central pole that do not allow the canopy to sag and feebly flap in the wind. The canopy can be opened in a breeze thanks to a convenient crank handle.
As for the canopy material, the manufacturer uses high-quality polyester with a density of 180 g. This fabric is known to have excellent hydrophobic properties, meaning that it excellently repels water and takes much less time to dry than other materials. Therefore, we believe it will ideally suit for use in the places with heavy rainfalls. Polyester is also a durable and strong material; it will firmly resist the abrasion and direct sunlight. Naturally, the bright colors can slightly fade away after prolonged exposure to the sun, but the fabric itself, its texture and density won’t be affected the least. Moreover, the fabric will become as good as new if you decide to restore its color with so simple but efficient solution-dyeing.
Also, this patio umbrella with lights stands out from the crowd due to its reliable tilting mechanism, which will allow you to adjust the position of your canopy and closely track the movement of the sun for optimal shading comfort. It can be easily accomplished by pressing a small lever and fixing the desired angle of inclination.
This patio umbrella comes without an anchoring base for installation, but you can purchase it separately. This type of patio umbrellas is not intended for use as a standalone shading solution but is usually installed in a designated hole in a patio table. Easy to use and install, it will offer you a pleasant spot for recreation and comfortable pastime outdoors on a hot summer day or evening.
In Case Of Uninvited Guests
In the evening time, any light source usually attracts the attention of various insects. And given that the distinguishing feature of this patio umbrella is lovely LED lights, it is very likely that flying insects will join your party as well. To protect yourself and your loved ones from annoying parasites, unpleasant bites, and irritating itching, we recommend you to have a look at our review of bug zappers, which will allow you to peacefully enjoy your evening without the uninvited guest.

Being so durable, aluminum umbrellas are nevertheless very lightweight. Therefore, the aluminum central pole with a rust-free bronze powder-coated finish and a diameter of 1 3/8inches is quite solid, sturdy, and highly resistant to bending and breaking. The canopy is made of one of the most common materials for outdoor shading – polyester, which is not afraid of moisture, precipitation, direct sunlight, UV rays, or artificial chemicals. It will reliably serve you for more than one season. Besides, the canopy is furnished with 6 fiberglass ribs for extra strength and features designated wind vents for improved stability of the whole unit.

Note, you can always enhance the stability of your umbrella by adding more weights to the base. If you decide to go for a flat iron base, for example, it will definitely make installing your market umbrella a breeze – put the empty base where you would like to install your umbrella and fill it with water or sand as needed. The total weight of the base can amount to only 30 pounds; it should amply suffice to secure your shading unit from flying away, given the lightweight construction of this model.
Stay Warm On A Chilly Night
A patio umbrella is an exceptional protection from both the scorching sun and drizzling rain. Only in its cooling shade, you will be able to find a rescue from the killing heat on a boiling hot day.

What is a Patio Umbrella
Since most of us have to work indoors, the best thing we can do is to spend every possible occasion outdoors in the fresh air. With patio umbrellas, neither drizzling summer rain nor blazing sun rays will be able to disrupt your delightful pastime in the open air. This accessory is an excellent solution not only for home use on a spacious patio, in the backyard, or by the pool, but also for use in the outdoor part of the coffeehouses, sidewalk cafes, and open-air restaurants. A nice umbrella for a patio can provide your guests or visitors with a comfortable cooling shade when sitting at the tables and enjoying a refreshing beverage or a delicious meal.
What Features to Compare
Types & Placement
When choosing a patio umbrella, the first thing you need to consider is where you want to place the umbrella. In view of its placement, you will be able to decide on other important factors and umbrella parameters.
The patio umbrellas can be generally divided into two main categories: traditional center pole (also called market) umbrellas, and cantilever (also known as offset) umbrellas. As for the former category, it is clear that these umbrellas feature a straight pole at their center and therefore can be mounted in a dining table or used as a standalone shade solution in-between the sunbeds or chaise longues. The latter category offers a perfect alternative to traditional units and includes umbrellas with a curved supportive pole located to the side of the canopy and sturdy anchoring base. Owing to their structurally sound and reliable design, they provide a comfortable shading of large and difficult-to-reach areas without obstructing the space with an obtrusive center pole in the middle. The heft of the offset models, inherent to their construction, makes them suitable for the windy or stormy weather.
If you selected a traditional market model, make up your mind on the type of the patio umbrella that will be most suitable for the location: a free-standing patio umbrella with an anchoring base or a table umbrella to insert in a patio table.
For a large and spacious area, you would probably need to go with a full-sized unit. However, if the place is really tight, then a thin rectangular umbrella or a half-canopy model will definitely be a good solution (as they can be conveniently located against a wall, window, or doorstep).
The canopy itself can be rectangular, hexagonal or round. When buying an umbrella, decide on the shape of canopy you prefer, as we believe it is purely a matter of aesthetic choice.
Size
Having made up your mind on the desired type of the patio umbrella and its placement you will be able to determine the appropriate size, i.e. the optimal height and canopy diameter.
We recommend taking precise measurements of the area that requires shading. So having armed yourself with an ordinary tape measure, you will be able to determine precisely the length and width of the territory. However, in addition to the size of the area to be shaded, also take into account the number of seats, chairs, or chaise-longues located there. For instance, if you decided to cast a cooling shade over an outdoor table of 6 feet in diameter, then we suggest adding some extra space of around 2 feet on each side, to get the overall dimensions of the area for shading. Hence, for a 6-foot patio table, the optimal canopy diameter is 10 feet; as it will nicely cover not only the entire table but also your guests sitting around it. As for the height, 7 to 9-foot patio umbrellas are generally considered tall enough (and yet not too tall) for effectively protecting your guests from the piercing sun rays. Note, there are models with non-adjustable and adjustable height available on the market. The latter ones will allow you to regulate the height in accordance with your needs and sun movement.

FAQ:
Q: Is my patio umbrella designed to shield me from the rain?
A: Most patio umbrellas feature water resistant fabric that excellently repels water, does not get wet, leak or drip under the rain. The fabric of the umbrellas is firm enough to protect you from light summer rain, but it is generally advised not to leave your umbrella open in the windy, rainy and inclement weather.
Q: How can I clean it?
A: Certainly, we recommend regular wiping of the ribs and canopy with a damp cloth from excess dust and dirt. It will make it look fresh and clean and stay as good as new. Should any dirt or stains remain stubbornly on the surface, you can always use some warm water mixed with liquid soap or washing powder and apply it with a clean cloth or soft-bristle brush. However, make sure your washing substance is free from harsh cleaning chemicals or any abrasive materials, as these cleaning agents can permanently damage the fabric of your patio umbrella. Note, that dirt and mud that staying on the canopy can get embedded in the fabric, causing the growth of mold and mildew especially if stored in damp places. Therefore, at the end the summer season, before taking your patio umbrella away and packing it for winter storage, it is highly important to thoroughly clean it, if you care about preserving its look and prolonging its life.
Q: Is it possible to use a patio umbrella in a cold season?
A: Why not? It is still essential to spend time outdoors even if the days are not as warm as they were in the summer. The patio umbrella will keep you warm in the colder months by preserving the heat under their canopy and precluding it from escaping upward. Hence, the air will be circulating under the umbrella, creating a thermo bubble that will definitely keep the air inside warmer than the air outside.
Q: What size of the umbrella for patio should I choose?
A: The size of the umbrella will depend on the dimensions of the area you would like to shade. If you are looking for a table patio umbrella, then we can offer you some general guidelines. At first, you need to take into account that the canopy diameter of your umbrella should preferably be 3 to 4 feet larger than the area to be shaded.
- 5 to 6-foot umbrella can shade a 30-inch (or smaller) café table and accommodate 2 to 4 people.
- 7-foot umbrella can complement a 36-inch (or smaller) café table with 2-4 people.
- 9 to 10-foot umbrella can shelter a 40-48-inch dining table for 4 to 8 people.
- 11 to 13-foot umbrella can be paired with 60-inch dining table and accommodate up to 10 people.
