Large Patio Umbrellas with Cantilever
The Large Patio Umbrellas with Cantilever will be for the person that has a lot of room and can weigh down the base of this Umbrella, This style of Umbrella does not have the same support as a regular table umbrella. The base is made to put additional weight to keep the umbrella steady. Some will have built-in slots to have patio stones installed, some will tell you to put sandbags on the legs. I prefer the patio stones as they are more pleasing to the eye. If you are not going to move your Umbrella, you can have it permanently installed with bolts or concrete. The base will have to have something to keep it secured to the ground when opened.
The good part of this type of shade is that the table will not have anything on it to keep you from seeing the person across from you. You can also use this type of shade for a seating area with a sofa and end tables, it is not just for dining. Put the base behind the sofa and open it when needed.
Now let us look at the different options available. For some of my other shade options see my post here.
Jordan Manufacturing 10′ Offset Umbrella
Jordan Manufacturing 10′ Offset Umbrella
The Jordan Offset Umbrella is made with a black steel frame and polyester shade. The shade will raise and lower with an arm on the main pole. Four concrete blocks will need to be purchased for weight to hold the Umbrella in place or it will have to be secured to a solid surface.
The shade will come in ten colors(royal blue, natural, green, red, khaki, navy, olive, orange, and yellow). The shade will be 10 foot wide and 9 foot tall at the top of the frame.
This Umbrella does not tilt. Some minor assembly will be required before use. Weighs about 33 pounds, it is easy to move from one location to another if not bolted down. Cleaning with mild soap and water is all that is need for the upkeep of your Umbrella.
10′ Deluxe Polyester Offset Patio Umbrella

The Deluxe Offset Umbrella has a polyester shade that comes in seven colors (tan, light green, black, dark green, beige, red, and blue). The opening angle of this umbrella can be adjusted with the easy operating crank with a locking lever, which does not tilt.
Need to make sure that you have the base secured with weight or bolted to the surface. Slight wind will make this Umbrella very unstable without the proper base.
Total height will be about 8 feet, so a 6-foot person can still walk under it. The frame is made from steel with a coated paint.
Trademark Innovations 10′ Hanging Offset Patio Umbrella
The fabric for the shade is made from a 200g polyester material, one of the heaviest on this page. The shade only comes in a tan color. The height of the shade can be adjusted by a lock lever when cranking it opened or closed. It does not tilt.
The frame is made from aluminum and has a steel base and ribs. The easy assembly will have you ready for shade in less than 10 minutes.
The base is made to have patio stones put in it for weight. If this umbrella is not weighted properly it will tilt in very little wind.

The arm will raise and lower the shade with a crank. The aluminum frame is built with sections to accept patio stones (must be purchased separately) for weight to control the fixture during windy days.

Conclusion
I do like the size of the Large Patio Umbrellas with Offset shade. The largest problem is in securing the base to a solid surface. This can be done in a number of ways, it is the most important step in enjoying your umbrella. Using patio stones is the easiest to move and relocate. Having it bolted to a deck or concrete structure is a more permanent installation. Sandbags are another option, it does look bad for your guest.
Having a choice on what materials, type of operation, and colors are just some of the options for each of these Umbrellas. For those who can use a smaller market umbrella, see my post here.

Nice article on these umbrellas. I gotta say I have seen a lot of umbrellas in my time. (19 years) and this is a new one. I like that your the go to guy for abstract umbrellas. This would look cool in my room.. just because it kinda looks like a lamp but it’s not. I don’t know.. i guess i’m still trying to digest the look of this umbrella.. so would you get this umbrella.. or wrap it up and put it under the tree this year, any thoughts?
Billy,
This would be a big thing under the tree this year. If you had your tree in an outdoor room you could sit it under this umbrella for protection from the snow. If you want it under the tree I will have to check my naughty and nice list first.

Oh one these umbrellas would be fantastic beside the pool with a couple of sun lounges underneath (and me on one sun lounge of course)! Christmas is coming…
Kim,
If you put one by the pool make sure it is stable. The base can be bolted to the concrete deck around the pool. If yo wish to have the Umbrella more mobile you can use paver stones and move the Umbrella any position that you want.
You can always include this in your letter to Santa.

Hi, I just want to say thank you for this post. I didn’t know much about umbrella for the patio, this will be very helpful when I will buy my own house.
Diyanne,
There are many things on this site that will be helpful when you buy your new house. Come back before you move in to check out what I have added.

I have never heard of an offset umbrella until now. I live in Kansas where it gets very windy I had an umbrella blown over last summer and break the glass top on my patio table.
I think that your umbrellas that you can permanently bold down are hold down with something heavy is the perfect solution to my problem.
Thank you so much for making this blog!
David,
Just make sure the shade is down when it really windy. The frames of the Offset Umbrellas can only hold so much in the windy situations.

Hello here. As I live in Midwest at this time, umbrellas are the dream for me. You can ask why? Because it is cold, windy and some snow will show up any day pretty soon.
Otherwise, thinking about Southern States in USA, such as Mississippi or Florida, your described umbrellas are worth to consider about it.
I think that is best umbrella is this, which stays straight and does not require additional base. Especially when the wind blows up, it can be a disaster when a umbrella looses balance.
You have here great selection of outdoor items. I wish that your visitors and customers would be happy with information provided here. It is good to read descriptions and choose a best umbrella which fits our needs.
All the best, happy writing, Nemira.
Nemira,
I too live in the Midwest, does not keep me from thinking what I want for Christmas or springtime for my outdoor space. I think the southern states will make use of these types of things all year long.

Hello John. To start with, I am person who disregard in cleaning in umbrellas. That’s because I never have thought of how important maintenance is.
That being said, it is really important for it to clean with soap and water even if the weather is fine and sunny?
I notice that they come in shape and sizes. I guess it goes down ultimately what’s the main purpose to have, like dining or just sit down and have a breather.
Tar,
Any item that is used in the outdoors will need cleaning from time to time. This will keep the fabric from deteriorating over time. Soap and water is the recommended cleaning material for most outside items.
The size and shape of your umbrella is going to be determined by the space and use of the umbrella. If you have a small space, they even make a half umbrella. See my post on that here.
