Whoever said let a smile be your umbrella hadn't sat on a patio in the middle of a hot and muggy New Orleans summer afternoon. Perhaps you ought to let a patio umbrella be your umbrella.
Traditional umbrellas have a pole in the center and usually go in a dining table. That same umbrella can be used freestanding if you combine it with a heavy base,
When an umbrella has flaps, it is a garden style. Market umbrellas don't have flaps but do have vents.
Umbrellas come in small French Quarter balcony sizes and go up to estate sizes. Most open with a crank and tilt to provide more shade. Round is the most popular shape, but we offer square, oval, or rectangular shapes, too.
Expect traditional umbrellas to be in the low to moderate price range.
