An offset patio umbrella can provide a large and convenient area of shade in yard or on a deck. Offset patio umbrellas rely on a balance mechanism to remain standing. This means that the umbrella needs to be properly installed and unfolded before it can be used. There are many different types of offset mounting mechanisms. Some must be attached to a stable structure while others can be placed directly in the ground. An improperly installed offset umbrella can become a dangerous hazard in the wind.

Yes, these offset umbrellas, particularly name brand products like the Southern have very sturdy, and potentially intricately designed, umbrella bases. However, these are not good for boats, where high winds and an unbalanced base is not a good idea.
I found a website that seems like an ideal website in order to fit your needs. There are many websites to choose from, but this one seems like the best. The url for this website is http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/offset-patio-umbrella
It is very difficult actually to mend a torn umbrella, the material and time required to fix the umbrella often outweighs the benefit/savings of not buying a new one. To save yourself time, and prevent stress, just buy a new umbrella.
