Outdoor Umbrellas come in many attractive styles, colors, shapes, and materials. With so many choices in the market, it may be a bit overwhelming to choose the right outdoor umbrella for your patio. Outdoor umbrellas add beauty and charm to our patios, besides providing the necessary shade for entertainment. It is important to consider some issues when selecting the perfect outdoor umbrella for your patio.
Consider the size of your patio and your table as well. Choose an outdoor umbrella that has a diameter to fit your current table and fits well in the area. You should have plenty of room to move or tilt the umbrella as needed. A large table needs a larger umbrella to provide chair to all the sitting areas around the table. If you select an umbrella that is too small, some of the chairs will not have shade. Your guests will be sitting partly in the sunlight.
Consider the look you are going for. Match the outdoor umbrella as much as you can with the current decor. Choose matching or complementing colors and a style that enhances your decor. If you have a Mediterranean backyard or patio, a tiki style umbrella will be out of place in that type of decor. Do not forget to match other accessories such as the umbrella stand with your current decor.
Consider the material of the umbrella as well. Select a durable and weather resistant material that will resist mold and easy fading in the sunlight. Some outdoor umbrellas may be very inexpensive, but are also poorly made and the colors will fade very fast. In addition, if the material is not strong enough you will have rips in the fabric. Materials vary from vinyl, premium coated fabric to resist fading and tough weather, to other types of fabric. Materials on the hardware are also important -such as aluminum, wood, fiberglass, plastic or PVC, stainless steel, straw, and others.
Choose the style of outdoor umbrella that matches the activity or function. There are beach umbrellas, market umbrellas, Patio umbrellas, lifeguard umbrellas, off-set umbrellas, and large shade umbrellas to cover larger areas. There are also commercial umbrellas in many structures and frame types. Although not considered umbrellas, cabanas and tents are also great to use in your backyard.
The type of lift function is also important for convenience of use. Choose from pulley tilt, crank tilt, or manual tilt styles. Umbrella sizes can range from 4 feet to 12 feet and up. Prices vary according to quality of material and features - from under $10 to into the thousands. Mind your budget and choose one that fits it without sacrificing quality.
