One is over our patio table and the other is near our pool and that one is actually the one we use the most, since we actually sit out there. </p> <p>I just got a catalog from Ballard Designs and they have a ton of cute options, I've heard those are great too, as are the ones from Frontgate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/good-patio-umbrella#post-2742955 Fri, 02 Jun 2017 07:03:20 +0000 PinkElephant 2742955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone purchased a patio umbrella they love recently? I"m looking for one umbrella to fit our rectangular patio table, and possibly another one to go over a kiddie pool. I know nothing about umbrellas, and am a little baffled by all the features - do we want it to tilt? auto tilt? Is it cool to have solar LED lighting inside, or is that a gimmick that attracts bugs? Is it better to have an umbrella that goes through the table, or the (pricier) offset kind? You can also tell me if you bought something you wish you hadn't!</p> <p>I'm looking for something large and good quality - probably not the $500+ industrial/resort umbrellas, but probably better than Target quality (unless you tell me you got something awesome there, in which case I'm open!) Bonus points if it comes in a cabana stripe or cool geo pattern.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
