How To Buy And Install Patio Umbrellas.

Patio umbrellas come in handy during a hot afternoon

. There is nothing cool than relaxing under the shade with your guests and friends. As you shop, you will realize that there are many colours, styles and sizes for umbrellas.

Umbrellas come in different sizes. The diameter is a measure of the size.Ideally, the size of the umbrella should be equal or slightly more than the size the table. Since the umbrella is circular, a circular table should also be used to match the umbrella. This creates a uniform look.

First, you must choose between two types of umbrellas. There is an umbrella that is attached to the table and an umbrella that comes separate. A separate umbrella can be shifted and installed at any convenient position.

Second, decide where you want to put the umbrella. This is any easy task. Umbrellas can be put anywhere, especially if the furniture and umbrella is moveable. You might want to put the umbrella near the braai area, but not too close. Third, you must survey the space. Find an optical or tape measure to measure the dimensions of the site. You may want to draw a rough sketch plan on a notebook. The area must include the space occupied by tables and chairs. Make sure that no tree branches will interfere with the umbrella. Fourth, decide if you are going to buy sets or pieces. An umbrella that is part of a set will match perfectly with the furniture. A separate umbrella might not match, so make sure that the umbrella is not too small.

Your fifth step is to consider the canopy. Umbrellas with a single canopy cannot resist strong winds. They also trap heat. Umbrellas with a double canopy and absorbent weaves are better. Your sixth step is to select the right pole. A continuous pole is better than a multi-piece pole. The pole must be strong enough to hold the umbrella. Must be easy to assemble and should be tall enough to cast a shade over the whole table. Your seventh step is to choose the right base. The quickest installation involves a heavy weight base filled with water or sand. You can also use a flatiron base.

Eighth, you must consider the treatment of your umbrella. Avoid canopies that can be affected by mildew and rot. The fabric should be easy to clean. Ninth, the colour you choose may affect you. Heat reflecting colours are good for a hot summer afternoon. Heat absorbing colours should be avoided because patio umbrellas are mostly used in summer. Ten, an umbrella that is made of durable fabric is good. Material that can withstand wear and tear will last for a long time. Check the product guarantee period.

Finally, you can obtain a custom-made umbrella from your supplier. This type of umbrella allows you to put decorations. Maintain your umbrella by painting the pole and base every year. Whether your budget is tight or flowing, you can find an umbrella of your needs.
