BEST-SELLING PATIO UMBRELLAS
There are many factors to consider before deciding which umbrella is suitable for your environment. With so many sizes, styles, materials and functions to choose from, this process can be overwhelming. While learning how to select the right umbrella, please remember to always keep the following in mind. The absolute best way to ensure your umbrella lasts a long time, regardless of size, shape or material, is to close your umbrella when not in use. Leaving an umbrella open and unattended allows your umbrella to be susceptible to the unpredictable forces of Mother Nature.

What style umbrella is best for your space?
In a way, outdoor patio umbrellas can be divided into three distinct styles: market, cantilever and specialty. To buy a patio umbrella that will be best for your outdoor space, you should consider which patio umbrella style will provide what you’re looking for.
Market Umbrellas:
Firstly, this kind of umbrella, also known as medium pole umbrella, is the most common umbrella type. It often appears on the sidewalks of beautiful cafes, backyards and swimming pools. Secondly, this popular version, traditionally from Europe, is defined by its round or octagonal crown shape. This umbrella is usually matched with an aluminum center pole to keep your guests cool and comfortable when dining out or entertainment. What’s more, if you want to buy a terrace umbrella with reasonable price and wide use, the market umbrella is a good choice.
Cantilevered / offset umbrellas:
These multi-functional outdoor umbrellas are characterized by an arch or connecting rod on the side. The roof is supported from the side and above and can be freely suspended above the large dining table or deep seat rest area.
Anyway, the cantilevered umbrella will not block the view of guests like the center strut or market umbrella. Many cantilevered umbrellas can be tilted from side to side or from front to back (or both), and most models can rotate 360 degrees. Although usually more expensive, in part because of its larger size, cantilever umbrellas and diagonal umbrellas enhance any outdoor space and create a unique enjoyment focus.
Specialty Umbrellas:
First, these umbrellas are different from the traditional round, octagonal, square or rectangular canopy in their unique shape. They stand out because of their uniqueness. By the way, they can include LED lighting attached to the ribs or infrared terrace heaters to make your guests feel comfortable in cool months. If you want to buy a balcony umbrella in a narrow space or balcony, professional umbrellas are a good choice because they are usually small in size and shape.
Valance：
At first, an additional flap of fabric approximately 7-inches in height that hangs around the perimeter of the canopy. Then, although generally considered merely provide a decorative touch, but it also has the advantage of shielding ultraviolet rays direct from an acute angle close to the sun.
Selecting and purchasing the perfect umbrella takes time and consideration. When you buy a patio umbrella, you can turn any outdoor space into a stylish, functional and comfortable extension of your home.
