The Difference Between a Patio Umbrella & Market Umbrella
A ground level outdoor space that’s typically used for dining or recreation and often adjoining a residence or building is considered a patio. Patio umbrellas are usually utilized in backyard patios or for commercial purposes such as those found in restaurants or hotels to cover outdoor tables, playgrounds or for poolside lounging.
A market is generally a location where buyers and sellers meet to exchange goods or services, such as a farmer’s market, flea market, craft event, or trade fair. Typically used for temporary spaces, a market umbrella is placed over table, kiosks or stands to offer shade and rain protection for goods, sellers, and their customers.
However, although the purpose and location of the two may be very different, the terms patio umbrella and market umbrella are often used today interchangeably. In their design and construction, market umbrellas and patio umbrellas are now indistinguishable.
