Kinds of Umbrella Stands include the following:

Center umbrella stand

• A center umbrella stand is the base of a traditional patio umbrella.
• It can also be used with a patio umbrella table.
  
• The umbrella goes through the hole at the center of the table through the tubular hole at the base of the stand.

• A side post umbrella is made with an arm on the side where the umbrella is attached.
• It provides more space and shelter since the umbrella is set up on the side.
• It does not block the view of those seated around it. It is also less of a hindrance when serving drinks or food.
• It has a massive base that allows the umbrella to hang over the table without falling over.

• A ground stake umbrella stand is more of a stick than a heavy base.
• It is meant to be planted into the ground so it can stand vertically and hold up the umbrella.
• It is commonly used in gardens and farms.

• A bolted umbrella stand is made to be bolted on the ground.
• It becomes a permanent structure once installed.
• It is less likely to fall over even with strong winds.

Materials used:  Choose an umbrella stand that does not rust such as aluminum or concrete. If you still want to get a metal umbrella stand, make sure it is coated to make it rust- and corrosion-resistant.
