In the Shade of a Patio Umbrella at Christian's Outdoor Office
You're not alone— many people, just like you, feel frustrated with patio umbrellas that fail to deliver or are difficult to use.
Maybe you’ve had to toss out more than one umbrella in your search for something that actually lasts. Or perhaps you’ve nearly given up on finding one that keeps its color for more than a single season—without ending up with faded, zebra-like stripes or annoying creaking noises in the wind.
Then there are the common frustrations—cracked ribs, flimsy tilt mechanisms, and handles that break after a few uses. Every time, it feels like you’re paying a premium for poor quality.
And next summer? Another $99 on a new umbrella because last season's just didn’t hold up.
Does this sound familiar?
If any of this sounds familiar, then you’re exactly who we had in mind when creating the Baser patio umbrella and cantilever umbrella.
Like you, I grew tired of seeing patio umbrellas that couldn’t survive a single season. Whether it was broken frames or faded fabric, the search for a durable, stylish, and reliable patio umbrella felt endless.
With this frustration in mind, I set out to create an umbrella that finally checks all the boxes:
- Built to Last: Baser umbrellas are designed to handle sun, wind, and rain without breaking or fading.
- Effortless Shade: Enjoy perfect shade that’s easy to adjust and simple to use.
- Timeless Design: A sleek, minimalist look that complements any outdoor space—all at a fair price.
So, if you’re looking for an umbrella that can handle everything summer throws its way, with fabric that maintains its color and quality season after season—look no further than a Baser patio umbrella.
But I can get 3 of the cheap patio umbrellas
We are always completely honest at Baser - so yes, a Baser patio umbrella is more expensive than the cheap patio umbrellas and cantilever patio umbrellas.
And yes, all patio umbrellas look a bit alike, so what's the big difference? The difference is tangible.
Because you'll end up with patio umbrellas that feel insecure, creak, and squeak in the wind, with a quality that you can see is dubious at first glance.
And you’ll quickly notice that the fabric fades in the sun and fails to provide the UV protection needed for you, your kids, or your family.
Or the "fantastic" crank breaks, and no matter how much you desperately turn the handle, the patio umbrella won't go up or down.
Until the cord snaps, and you can't return the patio umbrella because the seller says YOU BROKE IT, which is completely absurd.
So yes, a Baser patio umbrella and cantilever patio umbrella are more expensive, but you'll also be happy with them. Guaranteed.
And you will be because our patio umbrellas last.
Forget about rust and broken ribs or handyman fixes when the cheap patio umbrella breaks.
Baser has the best patio umbrella for summer at a really good price and with the right quality.
Secondly, we have an insane "we'll buy your product back if you're not satisfied" guarantee!
Yes, we'll buy back your Baser patio umbrella, and yes, I'll also pay for the return shipping if you don’t think the Baser patio umbrella is right for you.
You can read the whole guarantee below, and quite honestly, if you have a problem, you write to Christian(@)mybaser.com, and we'll fix it.
But I'm absolutely sure that you'll be very happy with your Baser patio umbrella because it's just as good as our Baser patio umbrella base, and our customers like it 😄
Is There Really Such a Big Difference?
Yes.
The cheap patio umbrella loses its color after just one season, fading from its beautiful charcoal to a dull, striped look.
The crank creaks and struggles to open fully, often getting stuck at three-quarters open.
And that "premium" cantilever umbrella you bought three years ago? One rib, thin as a soda can, has snapped. After hours of trying to repair it, you realize it’s beyond saving.
That’s how most reviews of cheap umbrellas sound—and they’re everywhere:
The fabric on cheap umbrellas fades quickly, turning this charcoal umbrella to a washed-out purple with stripes.
0.04 inch / 0.1 mm - THAT'S HOW THIN the ribs are on cheap patio umbrellas.
The thickness is comparable to that of a soda can.
This Is Exactly What We've Solved,
Not by just covering up flaws but by building a high-quality patio umbrella from the ground up. We've focused on premium aluminum frames and fabrics for lasting durability.
Whether you need a quality patio umbrella for your garden or a sturdy beach umbrella, we have you covered.
So, It’s Really, Really Good.

What Size Patio Umbrella Do I Need?
Choosing the Right Size for Optimal Shade
Picking the right umbrella size depends on the space you want to shade. For dining tables or lounge areas, a 9-10 foot umbrella often provides enough coverage for tables seating 4-6 people. If you have a larger area or want maximum shade, consider a 10x10-foot cantilever umbrella.
At Baser, we recommend selecting a smaller, well-designed umbrella over an oversized one that may be awkward to open and unstable in the wind. Remember, an umbrella with tilt and height adjustment allows you to get the most flexible shade all day without needing a larger size.
How Do I Keep My Patio Umbrella from Tipping over?
Securing Your Umbrella in Windy Conditions
To prevent tipping, it’s essential to choose a stable base. For smaller umbrellas (8 feet or less), a 66 lb base may suffice. Larger umbrellas (10 feet or more) generally need an 88-110 lb base, especially in windy areas. In very exposed areas, like rooftops or open plains, consider a Baser base with weight bags, adding extra weight and stability.
Baser’s unique design, free from wobbly tubes and rust-prone parts, provides a firm hold in all conditions. Our weight bags & bases are easy to move while offering the solid support needed to keep your umbrella steady.
What to Look for in a Quality Patio Umbrella
Avoid Common Mistakes When Choosing Your Umbrella
To ensure long-lasting shade, avoid umbrellas with flimsy frames, wobbly connections, and thin, fade-prone fabric. These common issues can lead to a short lifespan and poor performance, especially in windy conditions.
Look for umbrellas with sturdy frames and durable fabrics that can handle the elements. High-quality materials and design mean your umbrella will stay functional and look great for years to come.
What Is the Best Material for a Patio Umbrella?
Materials That Last in Sun and Rain
For the frame, aluminum or fiberglass are excellent choices—they’re rustproof and strong, with fiberglass offering added flexibility in high winds. For the canopy, solution-dyed acrylic fabrics like Sunbrella® are best for color retention and UV protection. Sunbrella is the most branded fabric in the world for umbrellas, which speaks to its quality but also comes with a high price tag.
At Baser, we have developed our own acrylic fabric called Velius™. Here, you get the same high quality at a different price point, making it a fantastic alternative.
Baser’s ReSun™ fabric, made with 100% GRS-certified recycled plastic bottles, provides excellent durability, vibrant color, and over 98% UV protection. With Baser’s eco-friendly materials, you get a patio umbrella that’s both reliable and sustainable.
We know that some prefer or advertise steel frames; however, steel is much heavier and prone to rust, especially in outdoor settings. Even worse, some umbrellas use a combination of steel and aluminum, which we never recommend due to the increased risk of corrosion. For lasting durability, Baser recommends aluminum or fiberglass frames that offer strength without the rust.
How Do I Clean and Maintain a Patio Umbrella?
Keeping Your Umbrella Looking New
To keep your patio umbrella in top shape, regular cleaning and the right protection are essential. Start with mild soap and water, gently scrubbing away dirt with a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can weaken the fabric over time.
When your umbrella isn’t in use, a cover is the best way to protect it from sun, rain, and dust. Baser’s double-layer patio umbrella cover offers superior protection, shielding your umbrella from UV rays and moisture to extend its lifespan and maintain its vibrant look.
Our double-layer design allows airflow while keeping out moisture, preventing mold and mildew. During the off-season, store your umbrella in a dry, covered area, and make sure it’s completely dry before covering to avoid mildew buildup. With Baser’s patio umbrella cover and simple cleaning steps, your umbrella will look like new season after season.
