Sometimes one prefers the style of a more standard market umbrella base. These sort of bases can sometimes be used as an offset umbrella base if selected carefully for weight and stability, and depending on the size and weight of the offset umbrella itself.

Patio umbrella parts such as these type of inground stands tend to work best with smaller shade umbrellas. They might not be a good choice for a monster 11 ft market umbrella, both due to the pole diameter of very large market umbrella being too wide, and the high wind load large umbrellas place on their stand.
