Fun and colorful umbrellas make outdoor furniture ensembles complete. Properly securing the umbrellas is an important safety precaution. This will protect them and help prevent them from falling. Stands will provide the anchor and support that umbrellas need. They are not only functional, they're also attractive decorative accents. Stands are available in several durable materials and a variety of styles to fit most outdoor umbrellas.

Types
Before shopping for a stand, it is important to know how the outdoor umbrella will be used. Will it be used through a patio table? Will it be free-standing? Will it be used with an off-set umbrella? Depending on the umbrella's use, there are several types of stands available.

Stands are heavily weighted at the base, but some require mounting to a deck or concrete. They are generally made of steel or cast-iron, but some are also constructed of heavy-duty plastic. When choosing a stand, consider local weather patterns. If there is a tendency for strong winds, a very heavy or mounted stand might be the best choice.

Styles

Many popular models feature textured earth tone finishes. Bases are available in many patterns and designs. It is easy to match one to existing patio furniture.
