Patio umbrella

Post by madaboutangling »

Been searching for a new patio umbrella with cotton fabric so keeps out the sun. Leroy Merlin has them but have grey poles and want white pole. Jumbo and Intermarche has cheap light ones. Any ideas where to try please?

As you approach Lagoa on the N125 from Portimao pass the first roundabout where you exit for Jumbo & keep looking to your right. There is a posh garden furniture shop and next door to that a yard with patio furniture laid out. Turn right signposted "Golf" & then right again, this brings you to the yard.

Try IZI in Portamao, they had loads in April.

Thanks. Tried both but failed still to get one with a white pole that is heavy duty.

Thanks very helpful. The shop in Porches has very good top end items that are higher spec than I wanted and Casa had either polyester cheap ones for the beach or higher spec patio ones. I am looking for a non polyester/cotton one for the a small patio for our Rocha Brava garden.

Cheap no good. Good no cheap.

I bought a patio umbrella from Optimum 10 years ago and it is still as good as new!!

We purchased a large quality umbrella 'dark pole' from the Solgarve in Lagoa. We were going to purchase another smaller umbrella there €119 that had lots of spokes but them found it in Portimao in deBorla for €69 back in May. Probably by now you have something. My only one with a white pole was purchased in Intermarche in 2012.
