Cantilever patio umbrella: how the offset design works
A cantilever patio umbrella holds its shade out over the seating from a pole that stands beside it. That leaves the space under the shade open, so chairs and tables can sit anywhere under it.
Every umbrella on this page uses this offset design, and the shade on each is fabric. Because the shade is not centered on the pole, you can aim it where the sun is strongest, and some models tilt to do so more precisely.
Offset patio umbrella sizes for your seating
An offset patio umbrella should cover your seating with room to spare. Umbrellas here measure 104.3 to 129.9 inches across, with heights from 88.9 to 108.7 inches, and nominal sizes include 9x11 ft and 10x10 ft.
As a rule, choose a size that extends about two feet past the edge of your table or seating group.
Cantilever umbrella base and weight
A cantilever umbrella base needs to be heavy, because the shade sits off to one side and levers against the pole. Bases are usually filled with sand or water, or built from weighted blocks.
Check each listing for the base type and weight, and follow the manufacturer's weight guidance for your umbrella size.
Cantilever umbrella features: tilt, double roof and lights
A cantilever umbrella can offer extras that follow the sun and extend your evening. Some models have tilt to angle the shade as the sun moves, and a few have a double roof or built-in lights.
Fabric colors include beige, gray, blue, red and brown, and most frames are metal, in aluminum on some models and steel on select ones.
Cantilever umbrella cover and winter care
A cantilever umbrella cover protects the folded umbrella from dust, sun and rain between uses. Close and secure the umbrella whenever it is not in use or when wind picks up.
For winter, clean and dry the fabric, fold it, and store the umbrella in a dry place or keep it covered. Dry fabric resists mildew, so avoid putting it away damp.
