What Are The Tips For Consumers Before Purchasing Market Umbrellas?

On a hot summer day if an individual wants to sit out in his yard or by the swimming pool in his favorite lounge chair or want to spend some quality time on his deck, then he can be completely uncomfortable if it is not covered by an umbrella. Whether the consumer is looking for simple market umbrellas for his outdoor dining area or a large umbrella to cover his entire patio seating area then here we will be discussing on some important tips that a consumer needs to keep in mind before buying such umbrellas.

What is the purpose or what should be provided a shade?

The first and foremost question that a consumer needs to ask himself is what the actual use for that umbrella is. A traditional market umbrella would be best choice for covering a dining table for two to eight people. These kinds of market umbrellas have a central pole which is mounted in a hole of the dining table and the entire weight rests on its base. These work on a very simple pulley system. The size of such kind of umbrellas would be up to 16 feet diameter. The biggest advantage of such canopies is that they are available in a variety of colors and fabric materials.

On the other hand, when we talk about large dining tables then a cantilever umbrella would be best, serving the purpose. This features a very heavy pole which is mounted on a heavy base and holds the umbrella with long arms from the side unlike the traditional market umbrellas. They are also available in many sizes and shapes and an extra feature of such market umbrellas is that it can be tilted easily and covers a large space.

What is the size or area that needs to be shaded?

If an area needs to be covered by market umbrellas, then the size and shape would matter the most. For instance, if round dining tables needs to be provided with a shade, then choosing octagonal shaped umbrellas would look aesthetically nice. On the other hand, if it is a square or rectangular table then choosing a square or 4-sided Polygon as the shape for the umbrella will be ideal. If cantilever umbrellas need to be installed, then it generally depends upon the shape of the area. If the consumer wishes to cover the area with cantilever umbrellas, then the ideal diameter would be 5 feet.

There are three broad categories under the climatic condition, windy areas, areas near to a water body or ocean and areas on a high altitude. For the first instance if the area is prone to fast flowing winds, then it requires certain considerations for buying market umbrellas. The gush of wind would tend to bend or even break the ribs and pull down the pole from the base. If a consumer still wants to install market umbrellas in these windy areas, then they must make sure to buy a flexible umbrella that has replaceable ribs and large pole on which they can easily detach in times of high-speed winds.

Coming to the second condition that is the house is next to a water body so the umbrellas must have an aluminium pole which will not get rusted or damaged because of the moisture in the air. The fabric of such canopies should be UV protected and easy to clean.

Lastly, if the areas are on high altitudes, then they are closer to the sun and direct rays would affect the consumers’ eyesight. For such situations the umbrellas should be designed in such a way that it could reflect the sun rays and does not get worn out with the intense sun. They usually have a 5-year warranty.
