If you want to provide shelter in an outdoor space, outdoor parasols are an economical and practical choice. Your area should be both practical and beautiful. An umbrella gives you diversity. You can choose to open or close it. They come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes, so you can freely get the most suitable for you.
Umbrella canopy
This is the most important part of the parasol-its sunshade! The fabric needs to be fade-resistant and able to withstand the strong ultraviolet rays of the sun. If you use fabrics with the right characteristics, you can choose any color to match your area without worrying about discoloration due to sunlight.
Size
Make sure the size fits the terrace area. You have many different options, single, double or even triple canopies to choose from!
Umbrella Pole
There are different types of poles for patio umbrellas-center poles, offset poles (often called cantilever umbrellas) or wall-mounted systems.
Center Pole
The center pole umbrella is very suitable for the table area. The integrated pole can sit in the center of the table, this is the most traditional patio umbrella.
Offset Pole
Finally we have an offset umbrella, or cantilever umbrella! This is an elegant and practical option. People can provide shade away from the poles so that they can easily move under the canopy. This kind of umbrella can usually rotate 360 degrees. As the latest umbrellas in the neighborhood, they are quickly becoming the most popular choice.
Easy to use
You need to consider ease of use when choosing a parasol. Is it easy to operate-up and down? Make sure you see how it works. Usually the supplier should have a video explaining how to use their umbrella. What needs to be kept in mind is the quality and strength of the materials used. Generally, systems based on ropes or pulleys may be damaged outdoors, making the opening mechanism fragile and fragile.
Patio offset umbrella base and fixture
The base of the parasol is also very important. The base needs to firmly fix the umbrella in the proper position to withstand strong winds, and will not tip over or cause danger to people around. In addition, you should consider placing it in a place where there is no danger of tripping. Look for a base that will not tip over and can support the weight of the patio offse umbrella. For another very effective solution, you can consider fixing the umbrella to the concrete by bolts or fixing it to the deck using cast concrete floor fixing devices.
