California Umbrella Patio Umbrellas

It?s the time of year when things are getting desperate. If you can?t figure out how to keep your guests cool during summer dinner parties or grilling sessions, then you won?t be able to get friends to stay over your house at all. Believe me, I ran that risk last night, where even the slightest boiling of water in my 3rd floor, un-air conditioned apartment resulted in us packing up the dinner picnic-style and moving out to the waterfront bay down the street. It was all in good fun, though not the most convenient, as we didn?t have a proper bathroom or trashcan, but it ended with some fun pick-up wiffle ball games and a good view of sunset.I digress. Basically the moral of the story is that, at this time of year, even if you?ve gone the whole summer without sufficient cooling devices, you need them now almost definitely. And luckily, a lot of fans, umbrellas, and cooling devices are on sale because it?s so late in the season!Top picks on sales and clearances for patio umbrellas:California Umbrella SMCU758: $165.00, marked down from $194.12Oxford Garden 6 ft Market Umbrella: $111.97, marked down from $159.95Umbrella Source 6ft Lifeguard Umbrella: $221.22, marked down from $292.50Find more affordable patio umbrellas. ... more
