Hot, sunny days are perfect for swimming in the pool or stretching on your favorite lounge chair. But without a well-placed parasol, even the most equipped deck or terrace will feel uncomfortable. Whether you are looking for a simple market umbrella for a small restaurant, or a large cantilever offset umbrella that shades the entire seating area, GVM-US can meet your needs. Here are a few key things to consider when shopping for a patio umbrella:
# What do you want to shade?
For tables for 2-8 people, choose a traditional market umbrella. The center pole of these umbrellas is installed through a hole in the center of the dining table and placed on a weighted base. These umbrellas have ribbed awnings that can be opened and closed by cranks or a simple pulley system. Many umbrellas on the market are available in sizes up to 16 feet in diameter. With tilt function, it can provide the best shading effect throughout the day. Canopies are available in a variety of fabric grades and colors.
For larger dining tables or entire seating areas, cantilever umbrellas work best. This type of patio umbrella has a heavy pole (mounted on a very heavy base). A long arm extends from the pole to fix the canopy to one side. This allows you to keep the pole outside while covering a large area, rather than in the center of the canopy. Cantilever umbrellas are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. Can provide tilt function, and there are many kinds of fabrics and colors of the awning.
# What type of climate do you live in?
Windy areas-Umbrella-shaped canopies are no different from sails, so you need to pay attention to the location of strong winds. The gust of wind can bend or break the canopy ribs, break the poles, or pull the umbrellas from the base to make them fly down from the three doors. If you live in a windy area, you need to consider the following:
Buy a high-quality parasol that has flexible, replaceable ribs, a large diameter umbrella pole, and an overweight base. Please close the umbrella when not in use.
Close to the ocean-If you live close to the ocean, consider a parasol with aluminum poles. It will not rust or deteriorate due to humid, salty air. Look for canopies made of Sunbrella fabric that is UV-resistant, mildew-resistant, and easy to clean.
High altitude-higher altitude means closer to the sun and more intense light shines on your canopy. Over time, this can lead to fading and accelerated deterioration. All of our umbrella canopies are designed for strong outdoor sunlight. Sunbrella fabrics are especially known for their long-lasting color and UV protection.

# What is your budget for your umbrella?
Like most things, with a parasol, you can get value for money in terms of quality and longevity. If you have ever wanted to buy cheap parasols from a large store, then you may have learned a bitter lesson. The awning fabric is fading and torn, the awning ribs are broken and cannot be replaced, the pulley system is tangled or broken, and the lightweight umbrella base is not enough to prevent your umbrella from floating in the yard. If your deck or terrace is where you plan to spend any truly good time, invest in a parasol that can withstand all factors and provide shade for the years to come.
