The Purple Leaf 3.3 x 3.3 M Cantilever is the best outdoor umbrella for most Australian backyards, from about $559.00: the highest rated pick here at 4.8 stars and the only one with a listed 240 gsm yarn dyed canopy. The Grand patio 3.3M Cantilever from about $249.99 delivers a listed 8.8 square metres of shade for less than half the money and carries by far the most feedback at 3,368 ratings. The Giantex 9ft is the cheapest way in at about $73.95. On five of the seven picks the base is a separate purchase, so budget for it before you compare prices.
