With the power to block out the light so you're cool in the shade and safe from sunburns, umbrellas are essential additions to any alfresco ensemble. Take this one for example: designed to live outdoors, it is constructed from weather-resistant materials that don't mind UV light beaming down or rainstorms rolling through. This umbrella stands 8'6'' tall and its canopy spans 11' in diameter, plus it offers a versatile solid hue.
