Why the Laurel Steel Patio Umbrella Belongs in Your Outdoor Space
The Laurel by Frankford Umbrellas delivers a traditional patio umbrella experience built on proven steel construction combining flexible lift options and premium fabric choices that adapt to residential patios and commercial dining settings alike.
A Versatile Shade Solution for Any Outdoor Setting
The Laurel's three lift configurations manual, manual with push button tilt, and crank with push button tilt make it one of the more adaptable traditional patio umbrellas in its class. Whether outfitting a single residential table or a full commercial dining terrace, there is a Laurel build suited to the operational style and budget of the setting.
Steel-Reinforced Durability That Outlasts Standard Patio Umbrellas
Where most traditional patio umbrellas rely on aluminum ribs that bend under wind stress, the Laurel's 5mm steel ribs hold their shape through sustained outdoor use. Combined with a spring-activated steel ledge, stainless steel hardware, and non-twisting end tips that protect the canopy fabric from tearing, the Laurel is built to maintain its appearance and structural integrity long after lower-grade alternatives would need replacing.
