The 10 Best Outdoor Umbrella Stands

10. TropiShade Bronze

Thanks to its solid cast iron body, the TropiShade Bronze (about $82) provides plenty of weight to keep your umbrella in place, even during strong winds. It features a classic Rococo design and a 20-inch diameter that won’t interfere too much with nearby chairs or table legs.

9. EasyGoProducts Universal Offset

Using water as a ballast, the EasyGoProducts Universal Offset (around $147) serves as a cantilever, so you can position your shade over a seating area without an obtrusive pole getting in the way. Its built-in wheels allow it to be moved around a patio with ease.

8. Best Choice Rattan

If you don’t want to mount your umbrella in the middle of a dining table, the Best Choice Rattan (about $83) gives you the flexibility to place it elsewhere. It offers a spot to put your drinks in addition to camouflaging the hardware beneath its attractive wicker facade.

7. US Weight

Available in black, bronze, white, silver, and beige finishes to match your decor, the US Weight (about $49) comes prefilled for stability. If you prefer to have it shipped empty, you can add your own ballast when it arrives, such as gravel or sand..

6. Giantex Cast Iron

Add a vintage touch to your garden with the Giantex Cast Iron (around $43), which features a looping floral design. It has been treated to look weathered, though it’ll keep its good looks throughout many seasons of harsh rain or sunlight.

5. FiberBuilt Base

The 55-pound FiberBuilt Base (around $104) is made of durable concrete and can accommodate poles of up to 1-3/4 inches in diameter. Its a fairly sleek design that is available in black, bronze, beige, or white, and is simple to put together.

4. Abba Steel Patio Planter

For a nontraditional and portable take on the concept, try the stylish Abba Steel Patio Planter (about $119). Once you fill it with up to 150 pounds of soil, and your choice of grass, plants or flowers, you’ll have an attractive mobile garden with built-in shade.

3. Abba Patio Round

The elegantly fluted Abba Patio Round (around $63) is available with a black or bronze finish that should fit in with any outdoor decor, both with a base that can be weighted with water. This eco-friendly selection is made from recycled plastic,

2. Shademobile Rolling Base

The Shademobile Rolling Base (appx. $145) has four small wheels built into the corners to allow for easy relocating around your deck or patio. If you’re worried about high winds, you can fill it with up to 125 pounds of sand or other heavy ballast to ensure it stays put.

1. TropiShade Steel Plate

The TropiShade Steel Plate (appx. $79) features a low-profile, flat design that keeps it from intruding upon legroom beneath your dining table. To ensure stability when freestanding, you can add bricks or sandbags to it, though it already weighs a hefty 36 pounds.
