Perhaps the umbrella that came with your patio furniture needs to be replaced. Maybe your outside table doesn’t have a place to hold an umbrella. In each of these cases we’ve found the perfect table umbrella for you, and even have a recommendation for a good umbrella holder that will turn any table into a backyard oasis. Here are some of the best table umbrellas.
Sunnyglade 9’ Outdoor Table Umbrella
Shade in a variety of colors
The polyester canopy of this umbrella is supported by eight ribs.
Pros:
- 13 color varieties to choose between
- Sturdy construction and wind vent keep umbrella secure
- Easy to open crank
Cons:
- Umbrella can catch the wind if not properly secured
There is a wind vent at the top that gives the umbrella stability without allowing rain to drip inside. The entire umbrella measures 9-feet in diameter, which covers tables designed to sit up to six people. The canopy is opened with a crank and will tilt with a push of a button. The pole is 7.5 feet tall and will fit in patio tables or freestanding bases with holders that are 1.5 inches in diameter. A base doesn’t come with this umbrella.
Blissun 9ft Solar Umbrella
Day and night fun
This table umbrella has 32 LED lights attached to the eight ribs supporting the 9-foot canopy.
Pros:
- 12 color varieties
- 4 LED lights powered by solar panels
- Massive 9 foot diameter
Cons:
- Color can fade quickly
As the sun sets, the lights use stored solar power from the included solar panel to turn on and provide light to your backyard party. Even without using the lights, this canopy covers most patio tables and gives decent shade when needed. You can tilt the canopy to block out the sun during different times of the day. The canopy is designed to block harmful UV rays, plus it’s waterproof. There is a single wind vent to help with stability.
Sunnyglade 7.5’ Table Umbrella
Good for smaller tables
This Sunnyglade table umbrella is smaller than others by the same company, so it’s better for patio tables that fit four chairs.
Pros:
- 15 color varieties
- Large 7.5 diameter is great shade for a table
- Polyester fabric is easy to clean and treat
Cons:
- Can snap in wind if not properly secured
However, it can be used with a freestanding base, too. The canopy is 7.5-feet wide and is supported by six metal ribs. You open this umbrella with a crank located on the lower half of the pole. There is also a button you can push that tilts the canopy to provide optimal shade despite the direction of the sun. It’s easy to take apart this umbrella for longer-term storage.
Blissun 9’ Aluminum Umbrella
Lightweight design
This aluminum umbrella from Blissun doesn’t weigh a lot, so it’s easy to place on your patio table and then take down to store later.
Pros:
- 15 colors varieties
- Easy to clean polyester fabric
- 9 foot diameter provides plenty of shade
Cons:
- Color fades quickly if left open nonstop
Despite its lightweight design, the Blissun table umbrella is sturdy and will stay put when placed in your table’s holder. The 9-foot canopy comes in several fun, solid, and striped colors and is supported by eight ribs. You open the umbrella using a crank and can tilt the canopy by pressing the release button. It doesn’t come with a stand, so it is a good replacement umbrella for patio furniture that is already designed to hold a table umbrella.
Blissun 22 lbs Heavy Duty Umbrella Base
Hold it right there
Use this heavy-duty umbrella base to make any table into a shaded one.
Pros:
- Available in two sizes
- Hefty resin construction
- Adjustable to the thickness of the umbrella column

You can also use this base to place any table umbrella on the ground and provide shade anywhere on your deck or patio.
