patio umbrella

Outdoor table canopy

A patio umbrella is a large umbrella mounted on a stand or through a table, providing shade for outdoor seating areas.

Unlike handheld umbrellas, patio umbrellas are stationary fixtures: We sat under the patio umbrella drinking lemonade.

Most have a crank mechanism for opening and closing, and some tilt to track the sun.
