A patio umbrella is an excellent addition to any outdoor space. However, patio umbrellas are prone to being knocked over, damaged, or blown away in strong winds. The best way to keep your patio umbrellas safe is to secure them with a solid umbrella stand. You can also find umbrella stands with a hollow design that you fill with water or sand for security and stability. Explore the following selection of solid and hollow patio umbrella stands to find the ideal model for your outdoor area.
