Beautiful shade. Bold purpose.
Countless people with disabilities — especially those who are deaf or hard of hearing — are routinely shut out of the job market. They’re denied opportunity, overlooked, and too often stripped of dignity. That injustice stirred a powerful question:
What if we could build a company that not only designs beautiful outdoor products, but also opens doors for those long left behind?
From that vision, Patioslife was born — not just as a brand, but as a mission. Here, a premium umbrella isn’t just a well-crafted piece of shade —
It’s a symbol of shared humanity, purpose, and lasting social impact. Every umbrella opens a door — for dignity, opportunity, and change.

Our Mission
To bring joy to outdoor living, while creating meaningful, dignified jobs for individuals with disabilities — people too often overlooked, yet full of strength and purpose.
We proudly employ over 50 individuals with disabilities, many from the deaf and hard of hearing community, through long-term partnerships with local programs. They’re essential members of our team, contributing across operations and customer support.
Every product we create carries a story — a story of empathy, resilience, and hope.
Join us in making shade more than just shelter. One umbrella. One story. One life at a time.

More Than a Team, But A Mission
John, Derek, and Luis are part of our logistics crew, ensuring every order gets where it needs to go. All three are members of the deaf community, and proud to wear the Patioslife name. “It’s not just a job — it’s a place where we feel seen,” they told us after this hike, where they bonded over nature and purpose.

A Voice That Listens
Meet Dora, one of our incredible support team members. She joined us through a local job access program and quickly became known for her calm presence and thoughtful coordination. Fluent in ASL, Dora plays a key role in bridging communication between our hearing and non-hearing staff, helping ensure everyone on the team feels connected, respected, and included.

Shaded Moments, Shared Joy
On community days, our team volunteers to host local families for a bit of fun under the sun — and our umbrellas. Here, Marcus (warehouse team lead) helps kids enjoy the shade while their parents learn about inclusive hiring. It's a reminder that good design can bring people together, in every sense.
Our Impact in Action
-
Empowering the Overlooked
Through a long-term partnership with local government programs, we actively hire individuals with disabilities — especially those who are deaf or hard of hearing. While often left out of traditional hiring systems, they are at the heart of our team, contributing to everything from customer service to warehouse operations.

A Small Thank-You to Those Who Serve
We believe in giving back to the people who give so much — to their communities, their students, and their country. That’s why we’ve partnered with GovX to offer an exclusive 10% discount to active military, veterans, first responders, and educators. It’s a small gesture of appreciation, but one we’re proud to offer.

Built to Give Back
With every order, 3% of your purchase goes directly toward welfare programs that provide critical aid, daily essentials, and job support for people with disabilities.
Because real change doesn’t happen in words — it happens through action.
And it’s your support that makes it all possible.

Shading the Planet, One Umbrella at a Time
At Patioslife, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword — it’s woven into everything we do. From choosing eco-friendly materials to reducing our environmental footprint, we’re serious about protecting the planet we all call home.
With every umbrella you purchase, you're helping us give back. We support reforestation projects that fight climate change, restore wildlife habitats, and protect precious water sources.
Small choices can make a big impact. Join us in building a greener, more sustainable future — one umbrella at a time.

Crafted to Endure, Designed to Impress
At Patioslife, every detail matters. From precision-welded frames to fade-resistant canopies, our umbrellas are built to weather sun, wind, and time — all while looking effortlessly elegant.
Our engineers sweat the small stuff: smooth-turning cranks, wind-vented tops, and marine-grade finishes that stay beautiful season after season. Each umbrella is rigorously tested for wind resistance, UV protection, and real-life outdoor durability.
The result? Shade that not only turns heads on day one — but still stands strong on day 1,000.
