Outdoor umbrella buying guide

With all the benefits, features, and functionality of outdoor umbrellas, I am sure that you’re now seriously considering buying at least one for your home or for your business. Before you start shopping around, let me give you a simple guide to make the whole process of choosing the best one relatively simple for you.

Get the right measurement – as outdoor umbrellas are sold in different sizes, it’s important that you know ahead of time how much shade you’re going to need. These umbrellas are typically sold in six-foot to 13-foot models. When deciding on the size, simply measure the area that needs shading and get the diameter. Basically, if the umbrella’s diameter is 6 feet, the shade diameter would be up to 30 inches. Keep in mind that while getting a small umbrella will not give you enough shade; getting one that is too big will require more support. If you’re placing the umbrella inside the hole at the middle of the table, make sure that the centre pole is very thick to support the weight.

Choosing the fabric – When you’re in this stage, you need to choose fabric not just based on the design or colour. You also have to check the materials used and pick the one that will match your needs and preference. It’s important that the umbrella is made of materials that can withstand afternoon rainstorms and scorching sun. At Global Shade, we use only the finest fabrics for our outdoor umbrellas and other shade solutions. We use HDPE shadecloth (High Density Polyethylene), which is a heavy-duty knitted mesh that offers maximum UV protection. It is lightweight and easy to clean. In addition, it’s very durable and is mould and mildew-resistant. 

Getting high quality outdoor umbrella – There are so many distributors, manufacturers, and sellers of outdoor umbrella throughout Australia. Well, that only makes sense since every region experiences extreme weather conditions particularly during summer months. Although having several choices is typically a good thing, finding which one can give you the best outdoor umbrella can become a complicated process.
