Umbrellas can create a paradise right in your own backyard. Chaise longue? Check. Cold drink? Check. Shady spot? See below. As more people move outdoors to entertain or just unwind, they’re taking along hefty market-style ­umbrellas normally seen at produce stands and outdoor cafes. Sunlight is something wonderful and we want to enjoy it as much as possible during summer, but a sunscreen is still important. An outdoor umbrella offers a pleasant shade, so you can enjoy the summer outdoor, on the deck or in the garden.
