What is the difference between a patio umbrella and a market umbrella?
1 Answer
The difference between a patio umbrella and a market umbrella comes down to function. People typically use patio umbrellas to provide shade in outdoor living spaces, such as patios, pool areas and decks. Less likely to be found outside of homes, market umbrellas are for shielding outdoor vendors, their wares and their customers from the sun. As a result, market umbrellas tend to be thicker and larger than patio umbrellas, and they often feature weighted bases to keep them upright. Find a variety of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
