    96 Degrees in the Shade

    Posted June 30, 2009 by maureen

    Has the sweltering heat gotten to you yet?  Here in Southeast Texas, it certainly has!  And although our region is known for barbecues & outdoor grilling, all I can think about is an ice cold lemonade, a cool breeze & shade.  The heat is definitely on, but these fun and functional outdoor umbrellas will definitely help.

    Ballard Designs Tilt Umbrella: $359

    We live near the gulf so once in a while, a breeze comes.  A tilt umbrella will certainly help that umbrella stay in place.

    Europena Sun UMbrella

    Frontgate European Sun Umbrella: $699 on sale (Was: $999)

    Have to be different?  Umbrellas don’t have to be in the middle all the time.

    Half Umbrella

    Half Umbrella Grandin Road: $299

    Ok, so not everybody has a huge yard, some of us have very small balconies or patios.  No problem!  The half umbrella is designed for your outdoor space!

    Solar Powered Umbrella Plow & Hearth: $149.95 (Umbrella); $79.95 (Base)

    It looks like a regular umbrella but Plow & Hearth’s version is the eco-friendly kind.  No need to put outdoor lanterns, this one already has lights installed in it!

    So, enjoy summer & stay in the shade!

    These outdoor garden umbrellas are really great, they are modern and stylish and would certainly improve the look of any ones patio furniture.

    I really like the red umbrella as like the way the stand is off to the side rather than in the center, this is a very good idea.

    Thanks for the blog about these, it is proving to be a real help for me as I am now looking to purchase something very similar.
