You can escape the heat underneath this bright red Sunbrella canopy at Crate & Barrel. Although umbrella stands tend to last, covers do not. The Sunbrella acrylic fabric, however, is designed for the outdoors and blocks 98% of the sun’s harmful rays. It is also fade- and mildew-resistant and comes with a five-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Regularly $189, the umbrella cover, designed to fit 9-foot round frames, is now $99 as an Internet-only purchase. The umbrella frame ($120) and base ($99.95 to $129) are sold separately.

Crate and Barrel is also offering up to 20% off on selected outdoor patio sets. (800) 967-6696.
