Hello everyone,
We are planning to use portable patio umbrellas for our terrace (10 x 4 m [33 x 13 ft]) so they can be adjusted according to the sun’s position. However, to make them windproof, you need heavy bases, which then makes them less portable. Are we mistaken about this?
As an alternative, we are considering two large umbrellas fixed into the ground along the long edge of the terrace. The umbrellas should also be tiltable. This way, we could properly shade the entire terrace, and since they would be set in concrete, stability should not be an issue.
(1) What do you think? Are there portable umbrellas that actually work well? It wouldn’t help us if we have to worry about them tipping over in even the slightest wind.
(2) Which brands would you generally recommend? I prefer to buy quality once and don’t have any knowledge in this area, so I’m not concerned about the price.
(3) What about the sleeves? I thought I could pour a “standard sleeve” in concrete this year and choose the umbrella next year. Apparently, there is no standard, so I need to know which umbrella to get beforehand. Is that correct? I would prefer not to be tied down at this stage.

I have an MDT 5x5m (16x16 ft) model here, which is sufficient for various tasks. I would definitely recommend it.With a dimming function?
