Pros
Cons
Bigger Is Not Always Better with Patio Umbrellas
Large patio table umbrellas are harder to move around and operate. They take up lots of space, which can be especially true on a typical sized deck.
Larger umbrellas also tend to be more expensive. The center pole needs to be stronger and taller, there is more fabric and all the mechanical parts needed to open and close the umbrella need to be stronger.
What Are the Different Sizes of Patio Umbrellas?
Outdoor umbrellas come in three basic shapes - round, square and rectangular.
A rough idea of Patio Umbrella Sizes can be seen below:
Small Umbrellas: | 5.5 - 7 feet |
Medium Umbrellas: | 7.5 - 10 feet |
Large Umbrellas: | 10.3 plus feet |
Looking at these size guidelines this Flame & Shade umbrella is right on the middle of small and medium. Depending on the marketing materials many manufactures still consider this a small table umbrella.
