How to choose the best garden umbrella

We have seen that there are so many types of garden umbrellas available on the market, and to choose the perfect one you have to keep in mind some important factors.

Value for money

There are many models of garden umbrellas, that sometimes it is not difficult to find products that are not of the highest quality. In fact, if you see an umbrella model of over 4 meters for less than € 50, it is almost obvious that it was made with poor materials and that, above all, it could even be dangerous. In this case, it is a good idea to pay a fair price for a valuable and long-lasting product.

Material

Since these are outdoor furniture elements, garden umbrellas are also It is essential to carefully choose that the materials have been treated properly to make them resistant to various weather conditions. Solutions such as resin, polyester or painted steel are versatile solutions to many circumstances and very suitable.

Shape

As we have seen, garden umbrellas may have placed the support pole a few times in the center, in other cases we have seen it with the arm off-center for a greater area of ​​shadow, while at other times the shape of the cloth took care of distinguishing the model. In short, many possibilities of choice. We advise you to pay close attention and therefore choose the one that best suits your type of green area, and that can also satisfy all your needs.

Basic

Perhaps one of the most important to take into consideration, for a matter of safety and any damage to things or people, is undoubtedly the presence of a solid base. Typically, umbrellas can be equipped with a plastic, iron or concrete base, to give the structure greater stability, especially in circumstances where they remain exposed for a long period.

Opening system

Practicality must be a fundamental factor in choosing your garden umbrella, so the opening system must be the simplest and most practical on the market. Nowadays almost all the umbrellas have the practical crank system, but sometimes the smaller models still have the classic type of opening from the main shaft, a bit like what happens with the typical portable rain models.

Style

Last but not the least factor that can influence the choice of your garden umbrella is undoubtedly its style. In fact, choosing a modern model, or in wood or metal, when the style of the garden is different, could prove to be a risky and risky choice. Also, as far as the color of the tarpaulin is concerned, always remember that white colors will immediately show even the first hint of dirt, but dark ones will tend to discolour over time in the long run, so it's important to choose carefully!
