FAQ
How do patio umbrella lights work?
Our patio umbrellas with solar lights, such as the 11ft 3-tiered model, use solar energy. Panels on the pole's top collect sunlight and store it in batteries. This stored energy then powers the built-in LED lights for nighttime use, offering an energy-efficient lighting solution.
What is the best shape for a patio umbrella?
The ideal shape depends on your area. For long tables, our rectangular solar patio umbrella provides excellent coverage. For smaller spaces, a round or square umbrella, like our 9ft 3-tiered solar patio umbrella, is a great fit. Consider your table and space dimensions to choose the most suitable shape.
Should I close my patio umbrella every night?
Yes, it's best to close and secure your patio umbrella at night to shield it from wind and weather. To further protect it and extend its lifespan, use our waterproof patio umbrella cover. This cover, available in various sizes and colors, will protect your umbrella from moisture, dust, and other elements when not in use.
How to choose the right size for my patio umbrella?
To select the right size, measure your table or seating area. Our 10ft square solar patio umbrella provides ample shade for larger spaces, while our 9ft solar patio umbrella is suitable for more compact setups. Generally, aim for an umbrella that extends at least 2 feet beyond the area you want to cover.
How long do patio umbrellas last?
With proper care and stability, your patio umbrella can last 5-10 years. Consider using an umbrella stand base such as our patio umbrella sand bags. It will provide a strong base, protecting your umbrella from wind damage and extending its durability.
What color patio umbrella keeps you cool?
For cooler shade, opt for light colored patio umbrellas, as they deflect sunlight and minimize heat absorption. While darker colors such as Terra patio umbrella or black patio umbrella with solar lights offer superior UV protection, they retain more heat. Ultimately, the best choice balances heat reflection, UV protection, and your aesthetic preferences, with light colors being preferable for maximum coolness.
How do you wash a patio umbrella?
Apply a mixture of warm water and gentle soap with a soft cleaning material. For stains, try diluted vinegar. Always let it fully air dry before closing, especially if it has solar lights.
Can I use my patio umbrella with lights near a pool?
Absolutely! Our patio umbrellas with lights are designed for safe use near pools.
What other products does The Display Outlet offer to complete an outdoor setup?
To complement your patio umbrella setup and enhance your outdoor space, we offer a range of solutions. For those with pools, a common addition to patios, we provide the submersible dirty water pump and sand filter with valve for pool & spa to maintain water clarity. Additionally, our XL large pool float storage bin helps keep pool areas organized and clutter-free, ensuring a more relaxing and functional outdoor environment.
Do outdoor patio umbrellas with lights work in winter?
Outdoor patio umbrellas with lights remain functional in winter, though solar-powered models may be less efficient due to reduced daylight. For reliable lighting, consider our string lights for metal patio umbrellas, which provide alternative power options and customizable lighting for year-round enjoyment.
