The Double Offset Patio Umbrella

The Double Offset Patio Umbrella

The first option in the multi canopy patio umbrella is commonly referred to as the Double umbrella. This shade umbrella features one pole with two umbrella canopies off of the single post. This allows for double the shaded area. The benefit to this umbrella is not losing the space that a second post and base would occupy. This patio umbrella is featured in two sizes, a 10×20’ and a 13×26’. Therefore, with the 10×20’ patio umbrella, there are two 10×10’ canopies from the single post. And in the 13×26’ Double umbrella there are two 13×13’ umbrella canopies from the single umbrella post. The Double Umbrella is a very popular commercial patio umbrella, as it doubles the shaded area.

vulcano_arcainiAlthough, the cantilever patio umbrella is becoming increasingly popular these days, many still are unfamiliar with this terminology. The cantilever umbrella is also referred to as the offset patio umbrellas. Simply said, the cantilever umbrella is a patio umbrella that has the umbrella post located to the side of the sunshade. Therefore, the sunshade is offset from the pole, hence the other name for these umbrellas is offset patio umbrellas.
