Patio Furniture and More

Offset patio umbrellas are exactly what they sound like: patio umbrellas with a base that is set off to the side, with an arm that extends the actual umbrella over your patio table.

The idea is pretty simple, as an offset patio umbrella frees you up from having a traditional patio table with the pole for the umbrella running up through the center. Many people believe that offset umbrellas give them a greater feeling of space and freedom, as the feeling that you’re sitting underneath an umbrella is reduced, not to mention that you can use the entire surface of your patio table with no obstructions getting in the way.

There’s not a huge difference in price between traditional patio umbrellas and offset ones, so it’s more a matter of personal preference and style, as far as which one you choose.
