Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 2026-04-02

Transparency matters to us. Here is exactly how we make money and how it affects (and does not affect) our reviews.

How We Earn Revenue

BestPatioUmbrella.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

When you click a product link on our site and make a purchase on Amazon, we earn a small commission. This comes at no additional cost to you.

How This Affects Our Reviews

It does not. Our testing methodology, scoring system, and rankings are completely independent of our affiliate relationships:

• We earn the same commission rate regardless of which product you buy.
• Every product goes through the same 100-point testing protocol.
• A product that fails our tests does not make our recommended list, period.

What This Means for You

Using our affiliate links is the simplest way to support our work. It costs you nothing extra, and it allows us to continue buying and testing patio umbrellas.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with FTC guidelines, we disclose our affiliate relationships on every page that contains affiliate links.
