subject: Learn How To Choose The Perfect Wooden Market Umbrellas [print this page] There is no doubt that wood market umbrellas enhance the decor of any outdoor space.
Though wood market umbrellas are made with a variety of timbers, the truly superior quality wood umbrellas that stand out are obviously the elegant ones made of teak.
Wood market umbrellas that come with a sturdy teak stand not only look stately and add majesty to the outdoors, but they are also durable. It is common knowledge that teak wood resists insect and water and can withstand all types of weather.
There is also no denying that the natural brown honey color of teak wood heightens the aesthetics and does not require painting or polishing. Wood market umbrellas are always the right choice for complementing all other sophisticated timber furniture settings.
There are quite a few other things to bear in mind when it comes to choosing the perfect wood market umbrellas. There are several shapes for you to select from - like round, square, rectangle, hexagonal and octagonal. Whatever the shape you finally decide, remember that it should completely and effectively cover the space you wish to shade. It is preferable to opt for the same shape as the shape of the table that goes under it - for instance, buy a round umbrella for a round table.
Remember the size should be appropriate and the measurements should not be exact to the area that has to be covered. After allowing for the area you wish to shade, make it a point to leave some sunshine area and space around the umbrella for it to appear as a well-proportioned outdoor accessory.
If you are aesthetically-minded, then the color you choose is very important.
There are print patterns, single or multiple colors available and you can buy your favorite color as long as it fits with the rest of the dcor and lends overall elegance to the exteriors.
When choosing canopy material, you must ensure its strength and durability, resistance to sun and strong winds and water and other weather conditions. If you are placing your wood umbrella in a windy area, then you can buy wood market umbrellas with various levels of venting.
Wood poles can just be of any superior quality wood or even Asian hardwood and to further reinforce they can have steel strengthening inserts. Most people tend to neglect umbrella bases. Make sure to have a strong sturdy stand of the right diameter and weight so your wood umbrella is secure. You can, however, opt for a light weight stand if you want the umbrella to go through a table.
As regards the opening/closing, you can choose any of the three different mechanisms - manual, pulley or automatic. A pulley mechanism should be favored for bigger umbrellas that are of heavy weight.
The question most often asked is - How long my wood market umbrella will last? If you use your wood market umbrella when in need and safely store it away at other times, your wood umbrella will give you years of satisfactory service. If you fail to do this and neglect the umbrella and leave it all the time in the open, you may have to buy a new umbrella every year.
