Treasure Garden Umbrellas for your Patio
Some days in June don’t need a big plan, they just need shade and a cold drink close enough to reach without standing up. Here at Hodgson Light & Log, you can start on our home page and get pointed toward the outdoor pieces that make your patio feel like a destination, not an afterthought.
In this month’s blog, we’re highlighting Treasure Garden patio umbrellas, a summer-friendly upgrade that helps you beat the heat while you’re hanging out on the deck, by the pool, or around the table.
Shade and Style Coexist
If you’ve ever tried to enjoy lunch outside and ended up scooting your chair every five minutes, you already understand why the right outdoor patio umbrella matters. Hodgson’s shade guide notes that the right amount of shade over your patio setup can lower temperatures by up to 20%, which is a fancy way of saying your outdoor space stays usable longer when the sun is doing its Michigan midday thing.
Three Umbrella Styles
Instead of getting lost in options, think about how you actually use your space: dining, deep seating, or the “everyone crowds into the shady spot” problem. Hodgson Light & Log carries multiple styles and sizes, so you can match your layout without forcing it.
- Cantilever umbrellas (11” or 13”): Free standing with a pole attached at the top, creating the offset shade coverage people love for conversation areas.
- Collar tilt umbrellas (9” or 11”): Built for easier tilting, with a button near the crank so you’re not reaching up and wrestling it.
- Market umbrella: The classic look, available in aluminum or wood, with different mechanisms like cranks and collar tilts.
Upgrade Your Patio this Summer
Umbrellas shine when they’re paired with the right patio furniture layout, especially if you’re refreshing your outdoor living space for summer get-togethers. If you’re planning a full update, browse our patio furniture first, then choose umbrella coverage based on where people naturally gather.
