Eye-Catching Deck And Patio Umbrellas, For Shade On Your Backyard Or Terrace

Tilted, hanging, wooden and thatched outdoor umbrellas to transform your yard into a Tiki bar.
Open Image Modal

In the warmer months, finding a shady spot to enjoy a drink is the simplest luxury. While you may be a regular at your local Tiki dive, these portable deck and patio umbrellas will transform your outdoor space into a dreamy cabana of your own. Forgo the crowds and tourists and kick back in your backyard (or the tiny city terrace Zillow said was “outdoor space”). Your outdoor umbrella will keep you out of direct sunlight, letting you enjoy the open air for hours.

From traditional thatched umbrellas to triple-tier umbrellas with wind vents , we’ve rounded up the best portable deck and patio umbrellas for making shade all summer long. We noted when a base was included, but spoiler alert: Most of them do not come with a base. In these cases, we listed the base the retailer recommends to make your summer shopping one step easier. 

Even if you’re jonesing to snag an umbrella, you may want to do some light measuring before making a purchase. Some of the umbrellas have a “tilt” function , allowing the shade to follow the sun, whereas others stand straight up , hang over or even lie flush against your building . Knowing what will work best for your outdoor space will help you find an umbrella and base that you love for many years to come.

Promising review:
"I never leave reviews, but this is by far the best swimsuit I have ever had. I have DD boobs and normally wear a size 8. I did what the other reviewers suggested and got a size down (so I purchased a size 6) and it fits perfectly! Also with having large boobs and chasing a toddler around, I was worried about the boob area not being supportive enough but this is the ONLY swimsuit I have worn that completely supports my boobs. It also came with two sets of straps with two places to put them. Overall, this is a great, cute, sexy, and supportive one piece." Hope Brown

"First off, let me just say that bathing suit shopping has always been an absolute nightmare for me. The top part of the suit is always too small and the straps always dig in. I found this while reading an article on BuzzFeed, clicked on the Amazon link, saw all of the positive reviews and decided to go for it. I cannot begin to explain how comfortable this is. The top part of the suit supports me very well AND even with the weight of my chest, the neck strap is comfortable and does not tug. I am absolutely amazed. I will be ordering more colors ASAP!"

It fit well, and it is super cute! It's not top-of-the-line quality but a far better product than I expected for the price. It might be an issue for someone who is busty as it doesn't have any support. Otherwise, I would highly recommend it, and I can't wait to take it out to the beach!" Lovabull Books

"I love this bathing suit. I am not one to show too much skin, so I was looking for a new bathing suit I would feel comfortable in while in Hawaii. The bottoms are cute little high-rise shorts that fit nicely. The top has a fun, flowy look that allows me to feel comfortable but look cute at the same time. It was also a nice top to just wear while walking along the beach and shops. I definitely recommend this for those looking to stay comfy and not worry about showing off too much skin!" Kassy

Left on Friday is a small woman-owned business creating swimsuits that are cute and can be worn for water sports. This suit is available in sizes SXXL and in 14 colors.

LOF is one of my favorite swimsuit brands. I've had their Party Waves style for a couple of years now, and it looks just as good as when I got it. I recently added this style (in the bright blue) to my swimsuit collection, and I can't wait to wear it this summer. All of the suits are soft and comfortable. You can tell just by touching it that they're made with high-quality fabric. And the suits stay in place. I love how this still is simple yet super cute. Yes, the suits are on the more expensive side, but I think they are worth it. You can wear them to swim, lounge, or even surf. They really can do it all.

Promising review: "The LOF Sunday Suit is by far the best one-piece suit Ive tried. I love the low cut on the top and the high cut on the legs. It's super comfortable to wear as a swimsuit or a even a bodysuit." Megan B.

"I was hesitant to buy a bathing suit from Amazon, especially because my bottom half is usually larger in bathing suit sizes than my top. After reading reviews and looking at people's photos of the suit, I decided to purchase it. I am so happy I did. I am so impressed with the quality. The suit is made out of a nice thick, comfortable material. If you are thinking about purchasing this, definitely do. You will be so happy with this suit!" Emma
