Enhance your outdoor dining experience with a table and chair set that pairs beautifully with a matching patio umbrella. This convenient collection has been designed for easy maintenance so that you can continue to enjoy dining alfresco year after year.
There are two primary styles of patio umbrellas: centre pole and cantilever models. Cantilever umbrellas feature offset masts that minimize intrusion into their coverage area while centre pole models are perfect for smaller seating arrangements and tables.
Table
An outdoor dining table and umbrella are an invaluable asset to any outdoor space, offering ample opportunity for hosting formal dinner parties or casual lunch gatherings with family and friends. They’re even great for creating cozy reading nooks in the shade! Whichever use you intend to put it to, be sure you pick a table that best meets both your needs and budget!
First, decide how many people you intend to seat at your table, then select a dining table that can accommodate them all comfortably. It is best to choose an umbrella five feet wider than the table to ensure optimal shade coverage without gaps appearing between seats.
Consideration must also be given to the size of your patio when making design choices. A larger area can easily accommodate a table and umbrella set up while smaller patios may work better with a bistro set-up.
If your patio table lacks an umbrella hole, a clamp may be the solution to keep the umbrella secure against windy conditions. When selecting one of these clamps, ensure it can hold firm against winds that blow hard enough to send flying leaves flying by!
An alternative option for shade structures that require extensive setup time is a freestanding table with an umbrella hole built-in. Such tables are easier to move than pergolas, making them suitable for shading multiple locations around your patio or garden. They may provide ideal alternatives.
Maintaining patio furniture requires consideration of its maintenance needs for each lifestyle. If you don’t have much spare time, choose materials with easy upkeep such as synthetic rattan weave that resist stains and scratches that you can clean with mild detergent and garden hose. Also make sure the fabric can stand up against UV damage as well as frequent washings – for example rattan is great choice since its surface requires less upkeep than wood or metal patio sets.
Chairs
Chairs that come with patio umbrella sets add the perfect finishing touches to a stunning backyard oasis. Not only can they tie everything together visually, but they provide comfortable spots where you can sit back and relax with friends. Many feature weather-resistant fabric upholstery for easy maintenance while some also boast high back support to provide optimal support as you lounge around in your backyard retreat.
Most outdoor dining chairs feature a center hole designed to accommodate most table umbrellas, making them the ideal choice for patio dining sets with attached umbrellas. Some chairs even feature a swivel base for maximum shade control – these allows for precise adjustment between chair’s angle and tilt of umbrella!
Our selection of outdoor furniture features an assortment of chair styles and materials to accommodate any backyard decor. Some pieces are crafted of rattan for texture and warmth in any space, while HDPE material makes these sturdy chairs extremely resilient against cracking and chipping; each chair can support up to 300 pounds for relaxation purposes.
Or you could choose a set that comes equipped with its own outdoor umbrella to save time and effort on hunting for matching chairs. Our large umbrellas come in multiple sizes to provide shade coverage ideal for your patio layout – the last thing you want is buying something too small; that will limit how much shade is provided by this outdoor canopy. It is important to measure your patio before purchasing larger models in order to ensure you purchase one with appropriate dimensions.
Make an elegant seating area by selecting a patio umbrella with a rectangular canopy for an elegantly designed seating area. These types of umbrellas work well with rectangular dining tables and extending sofas; typically about 7 feet wide they help create a cohesive look on your patio. Or choose an octagonal umbrella suited for bistro sets and smaller seating spaces.
Umbrella
An outdoor umbrella is an essential patio accessory, protecting back decks and poolside lounge areas from the harsh sun and summertime showers. The best patio umbrellas also make an elegant addition to their surroundings with vibrant hues and eye-catching patterns to complement other pieces of outdoor furniture. Ashley offers several choices of classic canvas Sunbrella umbrellas or contemporary Belgian design style options to give any room its own vibrant personality – whatever fits best with your lifestyle and home environment!
A patio umbrella that’s too small will not provide sufficient shade and may create an unsightly mess in your backyard, while too-big umbrellas could obstruct tree coverage or limit views from outside your house. To find the ideal size, take measurements along both length and width dimensions of your layout with a measuring tape to find out.
Make the most out of your outdoor furniture by opting for a patio umbrella set that comes complete with both a base and pole. A base helps protect against strong winds by stabilizing your umbrella from blowing away or toppling over, keeping it stable so as to not cause water damage when rain starts falling. A pole provides stability so as to allow you to use different positions when setting up umbrellas on tables or chairs underneath it.
Sets that come equipped with an easy crank system make deploying your umbrella quickly. Some models even include tilting mechanisms so you can customize its shade coverage throughout the day.
Make the most out of your new patio furniture investment by investing in high-quality umbrellas that are built to last. Look for frames featuring powder-coat finishes to protect against weather damage and rust; additionally, UV-resistant canopies prevent fading over time and protect skin from harmful sun exposure. Lastly, choose an umbrella featuring an infinite collar tilt feature, so that adjusting its canopy at will throughout the day becomes effortless.
Base
Patio umbrella bases come in various sizes, styles and finishes to complement your backyard decor. Selecting the appropriate base is key to providing adequate shade from sun rays while holding up heavy umbrellas safely – placing an inappropriate one could cause it to collapse onto someone underneath it and cause injury or harm. Many bases come equipped with four user-friendly connecting plates for quick assembly.
