Tips to look for a patio umbrella

It helps to know what characteristics to look for while looking for a patio umbrella. The following elements should be taken into account while choosing a patio umbrella: 

• The type: Market umbrellas and cantilever umbrellas are the two primary varieties of patio umbrellas. The straight pole of a market umbrella frequently passes through a table. Cantilever umbrellas, which are frequently used to shade chairs in the absence of a table, feature an offset pole. Market umbrellas are typically less costly than cantilever umbrellas. 
• The size: Most patio umbrellas are between 6 and 11 feet long, allowing them to shade tables with two or eight chairs. Nine feet is one of the most popular and adaptable sizes, and it can shade a table with four to six chairs. 
  
• The material: UV and fade-resistant materials are the finest for umbrellas. These elements may contribute to the umbrella's longevity and aesthetic appeal. The industry standard for umbrella fabric is a market umbrella with weather-, UV-, and stain-resistant.
  
• Tilt and lift mechanism: Take into account the umbrella's opening mechanism and tilting capability. Though some umbrellas open manually or using a pulley system, most umbrellas open with a crank. Certain umbrellas tilt with a button, while others tilt automatically or using a crank. 
  

What is the ideal size for a patio umbrella?

Generally speaking, a table with four to six chairs can be covered by a nine-foot umbrella, a table with six to eight chairs by a ten-foot umbrella, and an eleven-foot umbrella. 

Which material of a patio umbrella is the most durable?

Seek for strong, rust-resistant materials such as coated steel and aluminum for the frame. Our specialists highly recommend Polyester materials for the canopy.

Which color of patio umbrella blocks the sun the best?

Black is the ideal umbrella color for sun protection since dark colors both absorb and filter more UV radiation than lighter colors.
