Please find below several square market umbrellas in increasing size, from 6 foot up through 10 foot. Umbrellas like these are generally very good for providing shade and rain protection. If you have a square table which you’re looking to provide shade for, a square patio umbrella can be a very good choice. They can also sometimes hug more closely to a flat wall than a more round umbrella could.

10 square offset market umbrellas:

When getting into the larger sizes the base has to become heavier and often wider to support the increased weight and wind load of the larger umbrellas. An alternative is to affix (e.g. via bolts or screws) the square market umbrella pole to a deck or other fixed object which can withstand the load.

Below please find a selection of blue patio umbrellas, in a variety of sizes and styles. Most require a separate base to hold the umbrella upright.

Blue patio umbrellas can be lighter shades like sky blue, all the way to darker shades like navy blue. The darker shades tend to hide any dirt or stains which may occur with use. Putting on an umbrella cover can avoid most problems. Good luck in your search for blue market umbrellas.

Several examples of black market umbrellas which can be ordered online through Amazon are shown below.

Black market umbrellas can give a modern, stylish appearance to a back yard or patio, and provide great shade at the same time. While not a very common color of patio umbrella, patio umbrella parts for such umbrellas such as a black replacement canopy can also often be found online.

Mesh patio umbrellas can be very useful for keeping bugs away. Examples of such umbrellas and screen / net add-ons include:

Lists of patio umbrella parts don’t typically include the mesh as a part of the market umbrella. But a mesh can definitely be a very welcome addition to a market umbrella used in an area with lots of flying insects or bugs.

For smaller spaces or some types of tables, small patio umbrellas are the best choice. In these smaller sizes both square and the typical 8 rib varieties of umbrella are available. Here are examples of a 6 foot diameter and a 4.5 foot market umbrella.

Please keep in mind that small patio umbrellas do provide less shade than the larger 9 foot variety.

Bright and bold, red market umbrellas are an excellent addition to a backyard or patio.

Several examples of red market umbrellas are shown above. The information on this page may also be of interest to those searching for a red patio umbrella or a red outdoor umbrella.

Several factors influence the price of a market umbrella, and should be considered when deciding on cheap market umbrellas, and deciding if the umbrella is in fact a good value. The size of the umbrella, the quality of its construction, the materials used, and the features (e.g. whether it tilts), whether it has built in lights, etc… Smaller and less robust umbrellas are typically cheaper. If an item ships free that can be a big savings.

In my opinion a 9 foot or so umbrella at $50 or under qualifies as a good deal, though the quality should be considered before deciding if it is a good value. Some examples of fairly inexpensive market umbrellas as of the time of writing this post are shown here:

Good luck on your search for cheap market umbrellas. Patio umbrellas really are a functional, good looking addition to a back yard or patio.

When selecting lights for your market umbrella, keep in mind there are a few different types. Some are of the led variety, while others are the typical mini-light type. As for powering the lights, most are plug in, but solar lights for umbrellas are becoming popular as well. Battery powered umbrella lights can also be found.

Some umbrellas come with the lights already attached. To add lights to the ribs of an umbrella, a product such as the following can often be used.

Another type of light for umbrellas attaches to the pole, a critical patio umbrella part. An example of this is shown next.

Good luck finding your lights for umbrellas.

Striped patio umbrellas are visually interesting.  I find the multiple colors in these umbrellas make it easier to match to a variety of outdoor furniture, and the stripes tend to hide dirt, or other debris that may fall on the umbrella. Stains are also less noticeable on this type of umbrella. Two examples of large, 11 foot striped umbrellas are shown below.

Smaller striped patio umbrellas can also be found, such as these next ones:

When selecting such an umbrella, I suggest noting the colors already present in your patio, and selecting a striped umbrella which coordinates well with those colors. Please also note that most umbrellas which are ordered online typically don’t come with the base or stand included. So unless you plan to support the striped patio umbrellas using a patio table with a central hole in the middle, a base may be needed.
