Choosing the perfect patio umbrella size ensures optimal shade, stability, and style for your outdoor space. At Taizhou Qingkong, we specialize in high-quality outdoor umbrellas for homes, hotels, and businesses. Here’s a simple guide to help you pick the right size!


📏 How to Measure for the Ideal Umbrella Size

1. Determine Your Coverage Needs

  • Small tables (2-4 people)6-7 ft umbrella
  • Medium tables (4-6 people)8-9 ft umbrella
  • Large tables (6-8+ people)10-11 ft umbrella
  • Commercial spaces (restaurants, pools)11-13 ft+

2. Consider Umbrella Shape

  • Round umbrellas – Best for dining tables (even shade distribution).
  • Square/Rectangular umbrellas – Ideal for long tables or lounge areas.
  • Offset/Cantilever umbrellas – Great for flexible shading (no center pole obstruction).

3. Check Your Space & Base Stability

  • Freestanding umbrellas need a heavy base (50+ lbs for a 9 ft umbrella).
  • Table-mounted umbrellas require a proper hole size (usually 1.5”-2”).
  • Cantilever umbrellas need extra space for the offset arm.

🔍 Additional Factors to Consider

✔ Fabric & UV Protection – Look for high UPF-rated canopies.
✔ Wind Resistance – Reinforced frames last longer in breezy areas.
✔ Tilt Mechanism – Adjustable for sun movement.
