Market Umbrellas

Q: What’s the Difference Between a Market Umbrella and a Tilt Umbrella?

Market Umbrella : A classic, straight-pole design that’s perfect for creating stable shade in outdoor dining or lounging areas. Ideal for spaces where you don’t need to adjust the angle of the shade. Tilt Umbrella : Offers all the benefits of a market umbrella but with added flexibility. With an adjustable tilt mechanism, you can easily angle the canopy to block the sun as it moves throughout the day—great for spaces where the sun’s position changes often. Both are stylish, sturdy, and made to last. It just comes down to whether you need that extra level of shade control!

Q: Fiberglass Ribs vs. Aluminum Ribs: What’s the Difference?

Both fiberglass and aluminum ribs are excellent choices, offering durability and long-lasting performance. Here's the key difference: Fiberglass Ribs : The better option for windy conditions . Fiberglass is more flexible, allowing it to bend and absorb wind without breaking. For high-wind areas, we highly recommend our Push and Pop™ umbrellas, designed for superior performance. Aluminum Ribs : Sturdy and lightweight, aluminum ribs are great for general use and provide reliable stability in calmer weather. In short, fiberglass is best for wind resistance, while aluminum is a solid all-around option.

What Does the 10-Year Limited Warranty Cover?

We stand behind our products with a 10-Year Limited Warranty that covers frames, accessories, and Terylast fabrics against wear and tear. For Sunbrella fabrics, we offer a 5-Year Limited Warranty.

Please note: Our warranties do not cover purposeful damage or natural disasters (we wish we could protect against hurricanes, but nature has its own plans). For a full breakdown of warranty details, click here.

How Fast Can I Have My Umbrella Set Up?

We know you want shade, fast! If the product is in stock, it ships out within 24 hours, and with FedEx Ground, you’ll have it in 3–5 business days. Need it even faster? No problem—express delivery options are available at checkout.

All our umbrellas are designed for hassle-free setup:
