People are often surprised when they realize how much difference a patio umbrella can make to the look of their outdoor decor. In addition to the splash of color and beauty it can offer, it is also a functional item, providing shade in hot weather for family members and guests. It is important to choose wisely. Here is a step-by-step guide.
Before you go shopping for a patio umbrella, determine the size you need. You want to make sure your patio umbrella provides maximum shade. You should know the dimensions of your patio table. Either measure it or refer to the container it came in if you still have it, and choose a patio umbrella that is at least five feet larger all around.
Decide on what color or colors would work best with the colors of your patio furniture. There is no shortage of stylish designs to choose from when shopping for a patio umbrella; however, which style and color will work the best? If you have patio furniture that is made up of block colors, for example, it makes sense from a style standpoint to select a patio umbrella with a more elaborate pattern or design that has at least one color that matches that of your furniture. Try to choose either matching colors or colors that complement one another, such as pastel blue and pastel green.
Decide how high-tech you want your patio umbrella to be. Patio umbrellas have some diversity of lift functions. The manual lift function operates in the same way as umbrellas that are used to protect an individual from rain. Because of the average size of patio umbrellas, those with this kind of lift function are more unwieldy to use. Pulley lift umbrellas are much easier to use, and anyone who is cautious can operate them safely. Umbrellas with crank lift functions are easier yet to operate, and tend to be one of the safer options. It is also easy to customize the tilt with this lift function. The easiest of all to use, however, are those umbrellas that open and close via remote control. Remote control umbrellas can be opened and closed from indoors if necessary, which is a bonus during inclement weather if the umbrella was accidentally left open.
