In this article, I’ll explain what a cantilever umbrella is, and why they are the ideal solution to creating a budget patio.

Having a patio is a great asset to a home, not only does it enhance the appearance and the value of a property, it is an area where, especially in Australia, you will find you and your family spending a lot of time. But the expense of most Patio options is what makes home owners put off creating such a space. The good news is I’m here to tell you there is a very affordable option available to create a budget patio; cantilever umbrella, but what is a cantilever umbrella exactly?

A cantilever umbrella has a very strong base with a pole or rod that curves a little as it reaches the top; what makes it unique is that the pole is located on the side. When it comes to regular umbrellas, the pole is located in the center, in which case any table below would need a whole in the center to accommodate the umbrella pole. The good thing about a cantilever umbrella is that you can place any table, or object you like below with no obstructions. By having a side pole, it means you’ll have uninterrupted patio space below for a table setting, lounge chairs or anything you want to use your patio space.
