What SIZE of umbrella are you looking for? We hear that question a lot.
First you need to know that the size of an umbrella is determined by the shade diameter. To choose
the correct umbrella size, first determine the size of the table or area to
be shaded. The general rule of thumb is the umbrella should be about 5 feet
larger than the area to be shaded. For example, a 48-in. table should
have a 9-ft. umbrella or larger. Here is a helpful guide for choosing an
umbrella for a table.

Helpful Hints
If there's a chance for bad weather in your near future, Odyssey Homestore® recommends closing the shade of your patio umbrella
or storing it in a sheltered area if possible. Be sure to completely close your
umbrella into its locked position, and secure ties (if any)
around the shade. Also, check that your patio umbrella is securely
positioned in its umbrella stand. If sheltering your umbrella isn't an
option, we suggest using a patio umbrella cover to protect your
investment. Storage is the best solution during bad weather or if you live in an area where winters are severe. When
doing so, store your patio umbrella in an upright position rather than
on its side, which can cause warping of the ribbing. Even in storage, a
protective patio umbrella cover is advisable, as it offers an effective
defense against dust, dirt, mildew, and insect damage.
