Patio Umbrellas – The ‘Offset’ Patio Umbrella
Apart from the large, ‘Market’-type umbrellas that are also ideal for an outdoor pool, hot tub or lounge area, there is a type of patio umbrella, referred to as a ‘Cantilever’ patio umbrella, or ‘Offset’ patio umbrella.
Offset patio umbrellas offer more headroom, as they do not have the central pole seen in most standard-type, patio umbrellas. Instead, offset patio umbrellas are supported at the top and on two sides. Offset patio umbrellas have many benefits, one of which is that they can be angled or turned 360 degrees to counter direct sunlight, at any time, from sunrise to sunset.
If you have a very large patio table, or hot tub, you and your family or guests, can have all the shade you need by simply turning your patio umbrella, or even your offset patio umbrella, to the desired angle. Another benefit is that both will allow you to spend a longer time outdoors during summer … and what better way to spend many long hours having lots of fun in the sun.
