A large, outdoor umbrella on the patio can lend shade and create a small retreat from the weather and the sun while providing additional decoration to your back yard. Although you can purchase an outdoor umbrella in a number of designs, styles, and colors, the umbrella stand itself is invariably the same. Not only this, but they can be boring and sometimes downright ugly. Luckily, with a few ideas and a little imagination, you can spruce up your outdoor umbrella stand to compliment the rest of your patio furniture.
The stand for an outdoor umbrella is generally made of either concrete or a heavy metal. Both of these options lend themselves equally well to any kind of decoration that you want.
Metal stands offer more versatility in terms of decorating than concrete stands. They are particularly well suited for decorative painting. Begin by thinking about what kind of design you want to have on your outdoor umbrella stand. A good source from which to draw inspiration is the umbrella itself. Pick out colors, designs, or small motifs that you can use for artwork on the stand. Once you’ve decided that you want to paint on the stand, plan out your drawing on paper before buying any paint. Make sure that your design will fit and that it will tie in nicely with the existing outdoor furniture. When you’re happy with the design, use a permanent felt tip marker to draw your design. If you make a mistake, you can always paint over it. Once you have the outline of your design on the stand, fill in your design with color. You will want to use an enamel paint that is weatherproof. Once your design is complete, let it dry completely before installing the outdoor umbrella.
If you have a concrete stand, you can also paint these, but you will need to prime them first so that they can accept paint without absorbing too much of it. Another way to decorate concrete umbrella stands is to cement decorative tiles, shells, or beads onto the base in mosaic patterns.
Finally, if you’re not the artistic type, you can always cut out a piece of weather resistant fabric to drape around the stand as a decorative skirt.
The cost for a sturdy outdoor umbrella stand should be around $50-60. A good place to shop for one would be Walmart or Target. Both stores are showing umbrella stands on their websites.
Outdoor umbrella stands are available almost anywhere! You should be able to find a decorative, but still fashionable replacement in many different sizes.
Umbrella stands outdoor decorations are pretty and functional. They hold an umbrella in place in the center of a table. Without a weighted stand, the wind can catch the umbrella and cause your table to flip over. If you have a glass or lightweight metal table, this can damage or break your table. Umbrellas should be properly secured into the stand to prevent damage.
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.
When it comes to durability of the outdoor umbrella, it depends on the brand. If you bought the cheapest umbrella I m sure it is not as durable as the expensive one. But you can also get good deal.
I would recommend the Tahiti stands and also the Tahiti umbrella. This patio furniture can be found at Sears. The Tahiti stands only cost $99.97. The Dakota umbrella costs a little more, but I would also recommend the Dakota umbrella.

Taking care to clean your furniture will make it last longer.
A great tip to get the most out of your umbrella stand is to take down the umbrella stand, along with your patio umbrella, when you are not using them. This will help keep the patio umbrella stand and your patio umbrella safe from damaging winds. When you are ready to use them, simply break them out and enjoy a nice day outside.
