Don't buy cheap China Custom Sunshade Parasol

Adding the right shade products to your outdoor space is an important decision. Umbrella experts are always on call and can help you find the right person for you and your family.
When making this important purchase to add the perfect umbrella to your outdoor terrace, balcony, terrace and pool area, here are some important notes/tips.
Quality/Budget
Regardless of your budget, the first thing to consider is quality. In a nutshell: This does not mean that you have to spend a lot of money to buy a good thing, but the old saying "you got the money to pay", especially when umbrellas are usually exposed to wind, rain, and rain. , Rainy days, rainy days, rainy days, rainy days, rainy days, rainy days, under the sun, and in some cases, salt air.
No matter what your budget is, make sure that the brand is behind its products. Many of the "super deals" you see in large stores and even online stores are not as good as they seem. If you've ever thought about buying a cheap patio umbrella from a large store, you may have learned this lesson the hard way: the canopy fabric is faded and torn, the canopy ribs are broken and cannot be replaced, the pulley system is tied or broken, and lightweight The base of the umbrella is not enough to prevent the umbrella from flying up and coming out of the yard. If the terrace is where you plan to spend any truly good time, buy umbrellas that can withstand all kinds of climate changes and provide shade for the days to come.
Climate/Wind Resistance
What type of climate do you live in?
Windy areas-the umbrella canopy is no different from the sails on a boat, so there are some factors to consider in windy areas. A gust of wind can bend or break the ribs of the canopy, break the rod or pull the umbrella from its base and cause them to fly down three doors. If you live in a windy area, please consider the following:
Buy a high-quality umbrella with replaceable canopy ribs, a large diameter pole and an overweight base.
Please close your umbrella when not in use. Umbrella covers can really help increase the service life of the canopy.
Seaside area-If you live near the ocean, please consider using an umbrella with aluminum poles, which will not rust or deteriorate due to humid and salty air. Look for a canopy made of fabrics that are UV-resistant, mold-resistant and easy to clean.

High altitude-Higher altitude means closer to the sun, and more intense rays are shining on the roof of your umbrella. Over time, this may cause fading and accelerated deterioration. All of our umbrella covers are designed for strong outdoor sunlight, but especially Sunbrella fabrics are known for their long-lasting color and UV protection, and provide a 5-year warranty against fading and mildew. The warranty period of the pile fabric is 2 years.

Depending on where you live, the wind speed factor will be different. However, this is probably the most important consideration when choosing an umbrella, because if it can't withstand the wind volume in your area, then the color is actually not important! Therefore, with this in mind, please choose an umbrella that will not open when the strong wind blows. Getting the right foundation is equally important and will be discussed here.

Coverage and size-what do you want to block?
Whether you plan to cover an entire table or just a chair, you want to cover the other two feet on each side. Therefore, if you have a round table with a diameter of 48 inches, you need an umbrella with a diameter of at least 8 feet. This is just a general guideline.
For a table of 2-8 people, a traditional market umbrella may be the best choice. The center pole of these umbrellas passes through a hole in the center of the dining table and is fixed to a weighted base. These umbrellas have ribbed awnings that can be opened and closed by cranks or a simple pulley system. The maximum diameter that can be provided is 13 feet, and many market umbrellas have a tilt function, which can provide the best shading effect throughout the day. Canopies are available in a variety of fabric grades and colors.

Tip: To get proper coverage, choose an awning with a diameter that is 5 feet larger than the area to be covered.

Note: the diameter of the umbrella/the size of the pole: make sure that the umbrella obtained has a size that fits the hole of the table to be inserted. Although the standard umbrella hole of most patio tables is about 2 inches, some tables have larger holes and standard umbrella holes. The umbrellas on these tables will move too much. On the contrary, some umbrellas have only large diameter poles and cannot be placed on standard tables.
Depending on the area to be covered, a cantilever (also called an offset umbrella) may be an ideal sunshade solution. Not only can these umbrellas rotate on their base to provide shelter in adjacent areas, but they can also be tilted a lot, allowing you to change the angle of the canopy as the sun moves.

height
Although the average height of most outdoor patio umbrellas is 7 or 8 feet, if you are taller, or someone in your family is taller, you may want to be taller. Many center-pole umbrellas have the option of a "pole-height" pole, which increases the height of the canopy to fit the pole or high-top table.
Tilt method
During the day, as the position of the sun in the sky changes, it is important to be able to change the position of the umbrella roof. Generally, you can choose between collar tilt, crank tilt and button tilt. These differ in terms of ease of use. One of our outdoor experts can help you choose the right person for you.
As mentioned above, offset/cantilever umbrellas can provide inclined coverage, and like standard center pole umbrellas, there are different methods of heading functions.
material
There are several basic materials for umbrellas: aluminum, natural bamboo and wood (teak).
Aluminum: Aluminum umbrellas are rust-free and can provide different finishes from chrome appearance to powder coating colors (bronze, black gold, etc.). These durable products can withstand the harshest environments.
Bamboo: Unlike wood, bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world, capable of growing on 80% of the world's surface. Sustainable and renewable bamboo will minimize the impact on the environment, and there is no illegal logging or deforestation. They are resistant to warping, splitting, rot, mildew and mildew, and will not chip or leach.
Wood: Umbrellas made of wood can use various types of hardwood, including teak. A good wooden umbrella will have up to six layers of marine-grade varnish to protect and beautify the wood. Teak has excellent durability, beauty and strength, and is one of the best umbrella materials. Teak requires little or no maintenance, depending on the appearance you want. If left untreated, it will weather into a silver gray, but it will maintain its durability and strength for years to come. Treating it with teak oil, varnish or other finishes will keep it in the new bright honey golden color.
Fabric
Don't forget to use the new umbrella with other patio furniture. You don’t have to match everything exactly, but remember the other content so that your new umbrella doesn’t conflict.
