Umbrellas attached to tables typically use a base or stand that secures them securely and prevents them from tipping over during windy conditions. Most bases are composed of heavy materials like iron, concrete or stone – some even feature hollow sections which can be filled with water or sand for additional weight – while some are built into the ground or mounted onto walls for greater stability and safety.
When not in use, freestanding patio umbrellas should be stored in a dry environment to protect their fabric from damage and keep looking its best for longer. Fabric covers should be regularly washed to reduce mildew and mold growth, while furniture covered in non-washable materials should be regularly brushed or vacuumed to remove dust or debris.
Outdoor umbrellas with metal frames or parts must be stored in a dry environment during their off-season storage period to protect them from rusting, as this metal may corrode over time in humid environments. A garage, shed, or basement would be an ideal location. Alternatively, try wrapping their bases/stands in plastic (e.g. large paint drop cloth) in order to prevent corrosion.
