			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Elegant collections of tightly woven polyethylene resin, weather resistant, no-maintenance outdoor wicker patio, garden and <a href="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wicker-deck-furniture/">deck furniture</a>, with large bistro-style armchairs in a rich mocha color priced as low as $150, including thick cushions; sophisticated sofas and sectionals starting at $390 and matching side tables for under $100. </p>
<div class="alignright"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DStrathwood%2520wicker%2520furniture%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0005.jpg" alt="wicker deck furniture" title="deck-furniture-0005" width="250" height="236" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-739" /></a></div>
<p>Choose the affordable Cypress series of outdoor <a href="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/outdoor-rattan-all-weather-wicker-furniture-and-cushions/">wicker furniture</a> in bistro designs that incorporate flat-weave construction that won’t fade, rot or disintegrate with rain or UV exposure, or select luxury items from the Camano collection. Camano wicker patio furniture includes coffee tables that start at $150, sectional sofa pieces that start at $280, luxurious lounging chairs for $370, two-seater sofas for $390 and matching arm chairs for about $280. </p>
<p>The comfortable outdoor wicker sofas, sectionals and arm chairs are all crafted from the latest flat resin-wicker with weather-resistant wooden legs and deep seat cushions covered in white cotton outdoor fabric with zippers for easy removal. </p>
<p><strong>1. Affordable Wicker Deck Furniture from the Strathwood Cypress Collection</strong></p>
<div class="alignleft"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DStrathwood%2520wicker%2520furniture%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0001.jpg" alt="deck furniture" title="deck-furniture-0001" width="250" height="207" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-740" /></a></div>
<p>The Strathwood collection of wicker deck furniture is in the bistro style, somewhat contemporary by design due to the resin wicker-like weave that’s flat and comes in a rich mocha color beautifully accented with white cushions. Although synthetic resin is not the classic material used for wicker, the resemblance to traditional woven patterns is remarkably well done. Yet the factors that make natural wicker deck furniture impractical, like its susceptibility to rotting, getting moldy and decaying quickly, are completely eliminated since resin is not only maintenance free but fully resistant to outdoor weather. It won’t fade in the sun, won’t retain humidity, mold, mildew or get eaten by termites. The pieces of deck furniture that have a framework with the wicker woven over or around it, are also weather-resistant, crafted from sturdy aluminum with wooden legs that are treated for durability and resistant to UV rays and moisture. </p>
<div class="alignright"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DStrathwood%2520wicker%2520furniture%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0002.jpg" alt="deck seating" title="deck-furniture-0002" width="250" height="225" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-741" /></a></div>
<p>Perhaps one of the most appealing extra features of the Strathwood Cypress collection is that their loveseats, lounges, armchairs, and sofas come complete with deep seat cushions in treated white cotton fabric – ready to use in comfort. Many of the affordable products, such as those in other leading deck furniture lines, are sold without cushions or pads, and therefore the initial savings are lost when pillows, pads or cushions must be bought separately. And the outdoor cushions that come with the pieces aren’t cheaply made, but crafted from thick 4 inch polyurethane foam that has a nice bounce and keeps its shape. The covers are all slipped onto the foam inserts with a neat side zipper, so washing is easy – just unzip, wash, dry and replace!</p>
<div class="alignleft"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DStrathwood%2520wicker%2520furniture%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0003.jpg" alt="wicker furniture" title="deck-furniture-0003" width="250" height="177" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-742" /></a></div>
<p>The two feature items in the Strathwood Cypress All-Weather Wicker Bistro Collection is the Armchair, which costs just $149.99, and the bistro table, which is priced at only $109.99. </p>
<p>Despite the price of these items, customers all rave about the sturdiness, and elegance, of the Cypress collection of deck furniture. The two styles of flat woven all-weather resin wicker, namely the Strathwood Cypress and the Camano series, go so well together that the pieces can be mixed and matched with ease. Both come in the warm mocha brown color with contrasting white cushions. </p>
<div class="alignright2"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0004.jpg" alt="" title="deck-furniture-0004" width="219" height="225" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-743" /></div>
<p>The table that goes with the Cypress line is an ideal size for placing between two chairs on a deck or even with a pool-side bistro set. It’s 17 by 21 inches high and is really light – just over 7 lbs. </p>
<p>When Strathwood says that they test their deck furniture for endurance, they’re not kidding. Each item is sturdy and practical, designed to be used by people who live in their outdoor spaces and appreciate finely crafted products that last. </p>

<p><strong>2. Camano Collection of Luxury Outdoor Wicker Furniture</strong></p>
<div class="alignleft"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DStrathwood%2520wicker%2520furniture%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0008.jpg" alt="Strathwood wicker furniture" title="deck-furniture-0008" width="250" height="254" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-744" /></a></div>
<p>Strathwood’s Camano collection of outdoor wicker furniture is extensive and luxuriously crafted with attention to detail. The weave is solid, the wooden legs are finished in a rich cherry tone, and the cushions are thick and comfortable. </p>
<p>The mocha brown color of the resin all-weather outdoor wicker furniture in this series is elegant and works well with most classic or modern themes that are wood, wrought iron, accented with natural fibers, white cotton and bamboo or contemporary sleek chrome, white lacquer and glass. </p>
<p>The Camano pieces we suggest are:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Strathwood Camano All-Weather Wicker Arm Chair</strong>
<div class="alignright2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DStrathwood%2520wicker%2520furniture%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0007.jpg" alt="wicker deck chair" title="deck-furniture-0007" width="235" height="183" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-745" /></a></div>

<li><strong>Strathwood Camano All-Weather Wicker Side Table</strong>
<p>Customers agree that this collection looks more expensive than it actually is. It’s also extremely stable and comes with nice little extras like castors that won’t scratch wooden decks and a sturdy inner aluminum frames that are resistant to rust. The table is 19 X 19 and 13 inches tall but weighs under 10 lbs.   </li>
<div class="alignright2"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0010.jpg" alt="" title="deck-furniture-0010" width="240" height="203" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-747" /></div>
<li><strong>Strathwood Camano All-Weather Wicker Sofa</strong>
<p>Outdoor wicker furniture doesn’t get better or classier than the Camano sofa designs that not only come with a beautiful flat weave finish (in a deep mocha brown) but also include white cotton cushions. The all-weather wicker is resin so it won’t disintegrate or rot, while it looks like natural fiber that’s been woven in a delicate, yet sturdy, flat pattern. Finished with wooden legs that are high density and stained a cherry tone, the sofa is ideal for patio, garden or poolside. Wash the sofa and wipe the cushions, but otherwise there’s little maintenance. The sofa measures 54 X 30.75 inches and weighs about 45 lbs. This piece is for sale online.</li>
</ul>
<p>The sectional sofa and chairs in this collection are beautiful, albeit a little more expensive, yet well worth it since they offer durability and quality. Take a look at the sectionals in the Camano collection:</p>
<p><strong>3. Camano Sectional Seating, Sofas and Chairs – Distinctive Wicker Patio Furniture</strong></p>
<div class="alignright2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DStrathwood%2520wicker%2520furniture%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&#038;tag=patiocovers00-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0011.jpg" alt="" title="deck-furniture-0011" width="200" height="200" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-748" /></a></div>
<p>Wicker patio furniture that’s totally weather resistant and comes in unique sectional designs is what the Camano collection by Strathwood is all about. Start with the  Wicker Sectional Sofa Seat that’s acts as a center piece and build outward from there. The center sofa section costs $279.99 and comes with deep seat cushions in white cotton with a 4 inch foam insert. </p>
<div class="alignleft2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DStrathwood%2520wicker%2520furniture%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0012.jpg" alt="deck sectional chair" title="deck-furniture-0012" width="194" height="163" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-749" /></a></div>
<p> Add a left or right sectional chair to create a variety of shapes that fit your space. Each left or right piece cost $299.99  </p>
<div class="alignright2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DStrathwood%2520wicker%2520furniture%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0013.jpg" alt="wicker lounge sofa" title="deck-furniture-0013" width="196" height="270" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-750" /></a></div>
<p>Complete your customizable sectional sofa design by adding two center pieces, one or two left or right sections or placing one of the sectional lounge sofas alongside the set to create an L or large U shape. The 63 inch long All-Weather Wicker Sectional Lounge Sofa is one of the most expensive pieces in the collection &#8212; $469.99, but also comes with the lounge cushions, so is still more reasonable than other pieces of cheaper wicker patio furniture.  </p>
<p>The matching tables start at around $150, but you can choose to pair the Cypress tables with the Camano seats since the Cypress tables cost under $100 (and are a little smaller). </p>
<div class="alignleft2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DStrathwood%2520wicker%2520furniture%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0014.jpg" alt="pool side wicker furniture" title="deck-furniture-0014" width="261" height="185" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-751" /></a></div>
<p>Pool side wicker patio furniture sets can be arranged in unique ways by choosing two lounge chair sectionals and a center piece to make a U-shaped double lounger. Another way to get a similar design, but save some money, is to buy the two lounge chairs and instead of using a center section, choose a wicker table for about $100 and place lengthwise between two loungers. Mix and match with the Cypress Bistro chairs and tables for a variety of seating options. </p>
<p>Although natural wicker isn’t the best choice around a pool, the Strathwood resin, all-weather wicker patio furniture doesn’t need to be kept dry to avoid mildew or rust, therefore it’s an ideal choice for anywhere that may get wet, like a pool or garden. Which brings us to consider wicker pieces for the garden.  </p>
<p><strong>4. Durable All-Weather Wicker Garden Furniture</strong></p>
<div class="alignleft2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DStrathwood%2520wicker%2520furniture%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0016.jpg" alt="wicker lounge chair" title="deck-furniture-0016" width="240" height="240" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-752" /></a></div>
<p>There’s a unique piece of all weather wicker garden furniture in the Camano collection made by Strathwood that’s simply called the Sun Lounger Chair. This piece costs $369.99.  The lounger measures just over 81 inches in length, which is almost 7 feet, but due to the positions, the actual measurements when extended are just over 73 inches which means that someone who’s over 6 feet tall may need a longer model. While this may be an issue, people who are average height find the chair comfortable and the adjustable positions flexible for reading / tanning. </p>
<p>The lounger is designed to be used without cushions because the wicker weave offers a comfy bit of bounce, and the engineering of the chair is such that it offers lumbar support and comfort without extra padding. This piece of wicker pool / garden furniture comes assembled ready to use. You can order this item in two colors: mocha brown that matches other pieces in the series or a honey color that’s lighter for pairing with natural wood furniture you may already own. The honey colored version is slightly cheaper, priced at $349.99.</p>
<div class="alignright2"><div id="attachment_753" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 306px"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DStrathwood%2520wicker%2520furniture%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0017.jpg" alt="" title="deck-furniture-0017" width="236" height="170" class="size-full wp-image-753" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">pool furniture</p></div></div>
<p>The lounge chair is great for a garden area or a pool, even on a deck, because it comes with a series of rubber wheels for easy movement. Shift your lounger so you get the sun, or turn it to stay in the shade throughout the day. This is one of the reasons we believe this item is an ideal piece of wicker garden furniture – it’s easy to move and adjust. Order your outdoor wicker now and qualify for free shipping within the United States. </p>
<div class="alignleft2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DStrathwood%2520wicker%2520furniture%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&#038;tag=patiocovers00-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0018.jpg" alt="" title="deck-furniture-0018" width="240" height="240" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-754" /></a></div>
<p><strong>5. Extra Outdoor Wicker Items</strong></p>
<p> The Camano collection includes some other outdoor wicker items that are made from the same all weather resin. One is the Wicker Storage Box  that’s ideal for keeping cushions, pillows and blankets on a patio deck. The outdoor wicker box measures 41 X 21 inches and is 22 inches high, so can accommodate large seat cushions. This box costs $199.99 and can be ordered online. </p>
<div class="alignright2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HVCEHY/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000HVCEHY"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/deck-furniture-0019.jpg" alt="wicker bin" title="deck-furniture-0019" width="222" height="238" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-755" /></a></div>
<p>A practical piece of outdoor wicker furniture that you may not immediately think of is a trash bin. Nevertheless, this bin is large and is camouflaged beautifully by being covered with the all-weather wicker that matches the Camano sets. This isn’t just a garbage can, but a large bin that measures 15.5 X 15.5  inches and is 31.5 inches tall, which can be used for storing dry towels or for tossing wet towels after a swim. In fact, it can be used to store or collect a variety of items that are used outdoors: garden tools, fertilizers, peat moss, compost or soil mixtures that you may need to have handy for working but prefer to keep out of sight. This practical outdoor wicker trash bin by Strathwood costs $119.99. It can be ordered online, and will require assembly when it arrives. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Buy classic cast stone / cast iron umbrella stands between $25 &#8211; $60; shop for umbrella base innovations like the Rolling Umbrella Base by Shademobile. Stop top-heavy market or garden umbrella from toppling in the wind by choosing the best freestanding bases engineered to withstand summertime gusts. </p>
<h3>The latest Umbrella Stand Innovation by Shademobile</h3>
<p>While nothing can beat the look of the cast iron classic umbrella bases, the innovative umbrella stand designed by Shademobile has been rated one of the top models for several reasons. </p>
<div class="alignright2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DShademobile%2520umbrella%2520stand%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&#038;tag=patiocovers00-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/umbrella-stand-0002-300x262.jpg" alt="" title="umbrella-stand-0002" width="270" height="236" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-687" /></a></div>
<p>First, the umbrella stand, although being made of  polyethylene, weighs 23 lbs empty, yet can be made to support top-heavy market and garden umbrella shades by adding 12 bricks or 85 lbs of sand, or combining 12 bricks and 35 lbs of sand to have a total weight of 125 lbs so it’s unlikely any umbrella will get blown over in the wind. The high density polyurethane base is especially designed to be filled with sand and/or bricks, and comes with a diagram of how to fit the bricks inside the polyurethane base.  </p>
<div class="alignleft2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DShademobile%2520umbrella%2520stand%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&#038;tag=patiocovers00-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/umbrella-stand-0001.jpg" alt="" title="umbrella-stand-0001" width="240" height="203" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-688" /></a></div>
<p>Second, and most importantly, the Shademobile umbrella stand is genuinely “mobile” because it has four wheels that roll smoothly over any hard surface, ideal for around a pool, or for adjusting shade where required on an outdoor <a href="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/">patio</a> or <a href="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/deck-design-practical-diy-decking-kits/">deck</a>. The wheels are engineered to roll, but two of them can be locked into a set position, so the base stays where you want it. Another feature of the Rolling Umbrella Base is that it comes in two colors, black and sandstone, both made from polyurethane; maintenance free, and designed not to crack even when exposed to steady UV rays.  </p>
<div class="alignright2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DShademobile%2520umbrella%2520stand%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&#038;tag=patiocovers00-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/umbrella-stand-0003.jpg" alt="" title="umbrella-stand-0003" width="240" height="200" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-689" /></a></div>
<p>Customers who’ve bought these rolling umbrella stands have been delighted with their functionality, stating that each of the features work as the manufacturer claims, including being able to support top-heavy umbrellas in gusts of wind. The wheels, which roll without leaving marks, do indeed move across a deck easily, and the locking device works like a charm. Many buyers have commented that the umbrella stand withstands gusts of seaside wind without toppling their large garden umbrella, and others are delighted with being able to move the stand as the sun’s position changes throughout the day. However, the best testimonials are from high-end hotels, international resorts and spas who have switched from using regular cast iron or other umbrella stands to the high-density rolling ones by Shademobile. Some of the places where these umbrella stands are used include the Westin Diplomat Resort &#038; Spa, the Long Beach Yacht Club, the Marriott Desert Ridge, Oregon Hot Springs and the Ocotillo Golf Resort, amongst many others. Although being tough, high-tech, models suited for commercial use, these unique stands are available to the general public and can be ordered online. </p>
<p>Take shade to where you need it most, with the stable, durable and portable Shademobile Rolling Umbrella base that’s also affordable. Choose the 1.5 inch umbrella stand or the 2 inch model, and select black or sandstone. The 1.5 inch design costs $139.99 (and you may qualify for free shipping depending on where you live). </p>

<h3>Classic Garden Umbrella Stands in Cast Iron / Cast Stone </h3>
<p>The classic freestanding garden umbrella with an iron base has become better than ever since manufactures are now offering powder-coated models that are rust free. Although the coated iron or cast stone designs won’t leave rusty patches on your deck or poolside, they maintain the characteristic ornate motifs of the original round and square bases, which is what gives them their charm, especially when paired with wrought iron bistro furniture or traditional wooden garden furniture sets. The cheapest models are priced at around $25 and go up to about $60. Here are the best ones we recommend and those we believe don’t offer good value. </p>
<p>1. While the cheapest umbrella stands are those made from ceramic, and cost just $16 or less, and can be filled with sand or water, we don’t recommend them because they tend to be unstable. It’s well worth the extra few dollars to buy a heavy duty cast iron model even if the ceramic ones appear sleek and go with the decor. </p>
<div class="alignleft2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DDC%2520America.umbrella%2520stand%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/umbrella-stand-0004.jpg" alt="" title="umbrella-stand-0004" width="215" height="220" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-690" /></a></div>
<p>2. The most affordable and top rated umbrella stand designs that are rust proof and made of cast stone, and have a powder coated finish, are those crafted by DC America. One is the 18 Inch Cast Stone Umbrella Base that costs just $24.59 and is available online. The 24 inch model, also sold online through DC America, costs $54.99. Both are made from composite materials that are rustproof and have a bronze powder coating for durability and require little or no maintenance. One of the features of the DC America umbrella stands is that they adapt to different size umbrella poles because, although the hole is large, it comes with ring adapters to fit most standard market and garden umbrella models. </p>
<div class="alignright2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DDC%2520America.umbrella%2520stand%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/umbrella-stand-0005.jpg" alt="" title="umbrella-stand-0005" width="215" height="202" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-691" /></a></div>
<p>Customers who’ve purchase this product state it’s a very sturdy base that can withstand wind gusts without affecting the umbrella stability and that assembling the umbrella into the stand is quick and straightforward. Customers who have attached 6 feet and 9 feet umbrellas have found it to be ideal even when set up in costal areas where sea breezes are frequent and have been problematic for other lighter bases. </p>
<div class="alignleft2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3DDC%2520America.umbrella%2520stand%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Dgarden&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/umbrella-stand-0006.jpg" alt="" title="umbrella-stand-0006" width="210" height="210" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-692" /></a></div>
<p>DC America also has a variety of other models to choose from, some with cast iron motifs on square and round bases, others sleek and contemporary. One of the classic square models is the UBP14181-BR Square Cast Stone Umbrella Base that costs just $34.99. A benefit of ordering from DC America is that a variety of pole sizes can be used in the same stand. There’s an adjuster inside the pole holder that can be made to fit the standard 1.5 inch poles or the less common 1.4 inch or 1.9 inch umbrellas poles. The square stand is a dark bronze color and is antique looking, more so than pictured, which is great for classic outdoor areas. </p>
<p>DC America also manufactures market and garden umbrella designs that work well with their stands, such as <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BOWL5Q/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=patiocovers00-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B001BOWL5Q">La Quinta Umbrella</a> that can be ordered online. </p>
<div class="alignright2"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BIXANU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=patiocovers00-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000BIXANU"><img src="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/umbrella-stand-0008.jpg" alt="" title="umbrella-stand-0008" width="210" height="210" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-693" /></a></div>
<p>3. Another of the top rated umbrella stand designs are those crafted by Strathwood, makers of fine metal and wooden garden furniture. They carry the Ryer Umbrella Base that’s priced at $59.99 and is ideal with standard 1.5 inch market umbrella poles. It’s a sturdy stand, but doesn’t have an adjustment for other umbrella sizes, so unless you have a 1.5 pole, it won’t work. We recommend the Strathwood collections because they receive exceptionally good customer ratings and offer a large range of outdoor furniture and even bench and swing cushions as well as unique eucalyptus wooden garden furniture that’s durable and eco-friendly. If you’re contemplating buying <a href="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/pool-furniture/">pool furniture</a>, benches, tables and dinning sets or lounge chairs, as well as garden umbrellas and stands, then buying through Strathwood is a wise choice. Shop online by browsing the classic and contemporary collections.</p>

<p>Although a garden umbrella is ideal shade over a table, beside a lounge chair or on a deck, many people require a little more protection from UV rays. To explore <a href="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/shade-cloth-for-custom-patio-covers/">shade cloth</a> alternatives instead of complete <a href="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/patio-covers-screen-rooms-and-enclosures/">patio covers</a>, or to see what’s available in shade canopy designs for shade structures instead of roofing systems, take a look at suggestions in related posts. </p>
<p>Sunshades and triangular <a href="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/affordable-shade-sail-designs/">shade sail</a> kits can be a solution to overexposing  yourself and your furniture to unnecessary UV rays. <a href="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/garden-canopy-portable-garden-gazebos/">Garden canopy</a> structures and even <a href="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/portable-party-pop-up-gazebo-canopies-tents-and-kits/">pop up gazebos</a> offer solutions for shade and insect protection, especially with models that have sidewalls or mosquito netting. For information on pop up <a href="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/outdoor-gazebo-designs/">gazebo kits</a> and other shade structures, please refer to articles where you can shop for recommend items. </p>
<p>We understand that during summer months an outdoor space must be comfortable. That’s why we’ve searched for outdoor seating pads and <a href="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/two-and-3-seater-bench-cushions/">bench cushions</a>, as well as the top <a href="http://outdoorpatiocovers.net/garden-hammock-chairs-and-traditional-mayan-rope-hammocks/">garden hammock</a> designs to enhance your space. We’ve scoured the world and found authentic Mayan hammocks, made by native artisans in the Yucatan and Central America. We’re also found top outdoor fabric manufactures that craft stain resistant, non-fading materials to cover pillows, cushions and swing seats.</p>
