Yes, you can just purchase the patio umbrella without having to buy a new set as long as the patio table has a whole cut out for an umbrella. I purchased my patio umbrella at Target.
I do believe you can find a patio umbrella that doesn't attach to a table. A good place to start looking would be your local discount store like Walmart. Where you place a patio umbrella has more to do with the umbrella base or stand than it does the table. A table does help to stabilize the umbrella but it is not necessary. By getting a heavier umbrella stand or even a rolling umbrella stand you can place your outdoor umbrella any where you want to.

A patio umbrella is a great way to keep you cool in the sun when sitting out by your yard. A typical patio umbrella can be inserted through the center of a patio table. There are also market umbrellas you can consider getting. These umbrellas have a swivel motion on its pole, which allows you to tilt the umbrella in any direction you please. This makes it more efficient as you can move the umbrella directly in the direction of the sun to block out its rays.
