If you will go to the beach for a holiday and want to bring a suitable umbrella, you can choose the beach umbrellas:
|

If you just want to place the umbrella in your backyard, garden, patio or the deck, the normal outdoor umbrella, umbrella with solar lights and offset umbrella all will be OK. You can choose as your preference and budget.
3. Q: After viewing your website, we found that some umbrellas come with the stands or bases, but some not. If we buy one without bases, what kind of base or stand is suitable?
A: The outdoor offset umbrellas usually have the cross stands, but you still need a weighted base to secure it
For instance:
If you buy this offset umbrella
10 ft Pool Umbrellas with 32 LED Lights Solar Powered Offset Umbrella
Here is a matching weighted base you can choose:
4PCS 238lbs Square Patio Umbrella Base
The bases should be similar to this one to secure this umbrella.
| Pros: These kind of weighted bases can be filled with sand or water up to 350 lbs, make the umbrella sturdier. |
If you buy this umbrella
Giantex 10 ft Patio Umbrella with 112 Solar Lights
The pole diameter of the umbrella is 38mm, as long as the base can accommodate the diameter of the pole is slightly larger than this, such as 48mm, and the heavier the weight, the better.
In addition, if you want to move the umbrella from one place to another, you can choose a base with movable wheels, easy to move without efforts.
4. Q: What if the lights can’t light up?
A: 1. Check if the film on the solar panel has been torn off.
2. Check if the connecting wire between the solar panel and the umbrella is properly plugged in.
3. Check whether the daytime lighting time is sufficient and whether the switch is charging in the off state.
4. Finally, check that the switch is turned on when using it at night. A new umbrella can light up for about 4 hours when fully charged in the sun, and its storage capacity gradually decreases over time. The light up time will become shorter and the light will dim in the later stage.
If you check as above steps but the lights still don’t work, there are 2 reasons leading to this issue:
- The lights are defective:
Solution: The light string needs to be replaced.
- The solar panel is defective
Solution: Replace the solar panel
