Here are the common materials for the making of umbrellas.
- Canvas: This material is popularly used in patio umbrellas. Since canvas is a very heavy-duty material, umbrellas with this kind of fabric are expected to have a longer life span. This material is mostly used in tents, awnings, and cantilever umbrellas.
- Polyester: This material is similar to that used in plastic containers. It has the ability to resist mildew and wrinkles. The Wind Vented Umbrellas manufactured by Shedrain are made of 100 percent polyester material. However, one of its drawbacks is that it is highly flammable.
- Nylon: Basically, umbrellas that are made of nylon are among the cheapest of their kind. However, there is a big question about its durability. Nylon made umbrellas are ideal for short term uses only and cannot be good for patio and other outdoor umbrellas.
- Acrylic: This is a synthetic fiber that has the capability to resist wrinkles, the same as the polyester. A large number of this kind of umbrella is distributed in the market. Some manufacturers use this for the production of tents, sunshades, as well as cantilever umbrellas.
- Clear Plastic:This kind of plastic material is usually used for bubble umbrellas. These bubble umbrellas appear as transparent parasols with a few simple designs. This kind of parasol is good for fashion centered people. However, it is not good to be used as a sunshade under the scorching heat of the sun.
Some of the fabrics include cotton, linen, leather, silk, and lace. However, as to this day, nylon taffeta is the most widely used material for umbrellas. Still, popular umbrella brands like Shedrain and Sunbrella use different kinds of fabrics for different purposes. Sun umbrella also manufactures awning and other furniture.

Is a nylon jacket wind proof?
It usually is, if the nylon is tightly woven, regardless of whether or not it has an additional coating (usually of polyvinylchoride or polyurethane) to make the garment waterproof or water resistant. It is the tightness of the fabric construction (weaving or knitting) which determines wind resistance. Note that nylon by itself (i.e. uncoated) is NOT water resistant at all---nylon (polyamide) actually absorbs water and the fibers weaken, whereas cotton INCREASES in strength when it becomes wet. In theory, you could have a loosely knit or woven nylon fabric---e.g., a mesh or pique knit---which is NOT wind resistant at all.
