Think about where/how you'll store it in the off season. If it will stay in the yard (vs garage or shed) get a cover so birds don't get inside. Don't store it flat on the ground, we ruined one that way.

Right now I have a double umbrella, Summit Living brand from Walmart, in a base I weight with sandbags.

Start with Costco store and online.

A long time ago house beautiful recommended the basic pottery barn umbrella, it was about $100, it lasted 12-15 yrs. We’re on our second one now

We bought one from room and board that I think is the Treasure Garden one. Did lots of research to get something solid- wire cutter has a write up.

You're really, really overthinking this.

Treasure garden tilting umbrella.

We have this umbrella which is large and can rotate so easily - to move shade over the table, over the kids playing in the sand box, or rotate to block where the sun is

I suggest getting the cover or adding a cover

Bump!

For the first time ever, we have a usable backyard. It's exciting!

There are so many umbrellas out there - it's overwhelming. Any suggestions on what to stay away from, or what to use?

Or a specific recommendation? We'll need something off-center probably. Like 10ft.
