If you tend to sunburn rather than tan or don't deal well with higher temperatures, then you know that you need plenty of full shade nearby. With a UPF of 50+, this outdoor patio umbrella can protect your skin from sunburn even in the hot summer. An aluminum patio umbrella pole will be lighter, prettier, and, of course, more durable (the most important point) than a steel one. The 10 x 6.5-foot rectangle patio umbrella will fit a larger yard, but if you have a large family, buy one more or go to our larger outdoor umbrella. Please note that this patio umbrella does not come with a base. We highly recommend that you purchase a weighted outdoor umbrella base separately and fill it with water or sand for long, stable use.
