Patio Umbrella Stands ~ Buyers Guide
Do you Need a Patio Umbrella Stand/Base?
The type of patio umbrella stand or base you need will depend upon how you intend to use your umbrella.
Standard bases can be used with a table or with a freestanding umbrella, as well as specialty bases such as a deck and dock base, or a spa mount base. For standard outdoor umbrella bases you will need to choose the weight of the base. This is determined by the size of your market or patio umbrella and if you are using the umbrella through a table or free standing.
 The guide below will help you to select a patio umbrella stand for your patio umbrella. To choose a base, consider these questions:
- What size is your patio umbrella shade?
- Is the patio umbrella positioned through a table, or is it free-standing?
- Is the patio umbrella pole "oversized" (2" diameter pole or greater)?
