In summer, outdoor umbrellas are essential features in commercial plazas, parks, sales centers, and residential villas. These umbrellas provide ample shade, enhancing comfort in outdoor areas. Offset patio umbrellas are known for their large canopy, typically starting at 2 meters wide, requiring a sturdy base for stability and wind resistance.
A popular variation of the offset umbrella is the banana umbrella. This cantilever design offers wide coverage and frees up space under the canopy—perfect for arranging tables and chairs comfortably. The banana umbrella’s sleek, elegant design makes it ideal for leisure and hospitality settings. Common sizes include 2.7m and 3m in diameter, available in a variety of colors to suit different aesthetics.

Types of Bases for Offset Patio Umbrellas

This practical base offers mobility and stability. It can be filled with water or sand and comes with wheels for easy movement, making it suitable for areas that require frequent repositioning.
