Types of outdoor umbrellas

Standard center pole umbrella

The standard pole patio Push Up Umbrella has a long pole that supports the canopy from the center. They are usually placed in holes on patio tables and/or heavy bases. Square, hexagonal, or octagonal crown shapes are the most common. Hexagons/octagons are often called circles. 6 feet, 7 feet, 7.5 feet, 9 feet, and 11 feet and standard sizes, although many manufacturers will accept mass customization of custom sizes.

Cantilever/eccentric patio Push Up Umbrella

The feature of these outdoor umbrellas is that they have a strut, and the sides of the strut are open. In most cases, the canopy will fold/close next to the pole. These are usually used in seating areas where there is notable to support the table. Some are wall-mounted. The most common are 8-foot, 10-foot, 11-foot, and 13-foot square or hexagonal canopies.

Beach umbrella

Outdoor beach umbrellas are characterized by a wooden or aluminum club head with a sharp bottom. The tip makes it easy to install deep in the sand. Wooden poles and fiberglass ribbed beach umbrellas are usually best for beach use.

Terrace umbrella frame construction

Wood is the most traditional material. It is made of teak, ash, and many other hardwoods. The wood is simple and natural, making it an excellent choice for most uses.

Extruded aluminum rods and ribs make a lightweight and durable frame possible. They are usually coated with powder coatings, come in various colors and finishes, and are more suitable for humid climates.

Fiberglass is usually used on the ribs of the canopy when it is opened. When the umbrella is opened and overturned by a gust of wind, the wooden ribs will break and the aluminum will bend. Fiberglass ribs are easy to bend to overflow and then entangle energy and are often a more forgiving choice. This is more suitable for high wind areas such as coastal areas. Fiberglass is also used on aluminum poles to give them higher strength and/or texture, for example imitating bamboo poles.

The function of the terrace umbrella

Umbrella lift method

It is most common that the crank is manually opened and pushed up and held in place with a pin. In commercial or public places, the “push up” effect is better, because the umbrella with the crank opened may bend with excessive force and break the cable.

Umbrella canopy fabric

So far, Sunbrella is the most popular fabric. It has a variety of fabric styles, colors, anti-fading, mildew, and mildew resistance, and has a longer service life outdoors. Choose Olefin, Outdura, Nylon, etc. as more economical canopy options, but need to be replaced 2-3 times more frequently during the life of the umbrella.

Umbrella light

Many aluminum umbrellas have built-in LED lights on the ribs. For safety reasons, most of them are low-voltage, and some are solar-powered.

Umbrella speaker/sound

Even this old product is affected by Bluetooth/WiFi speakers that can be paired with smartphones or other compatible devices.
