Every owner of a garden plot thinks about creating a favorable atmosphere for relaxation. It is necessary to properly plan the space around the house on the garden plot and, according to the plan, to purchase plants and trees, as well as furniture for the garden. Also, you can not ignore such an important attribute of any garden, such as a special outdoor umbrella. So, what is the purpose of such an outdoor umbrella, and by what criteria to choose it?
Features for choosing a garden umbrella
1. Functionality
Protection from rain and bright sunlight — the two key functions that the garden umbrella performs. Among other things, this detail of the interior helps in creating a certain atmosphere and brings a certain charm and privacy to the environment.
2. Style
Parasol Dubai offers an impressive variety of shapes and colors of umbrellas. Styling of these sun protection constructions can be classical and restrained, not standing out from the general picture, and also extravagant and outstanding, emphasizing the unusual taste of the owner. Do not make a mistake and choose a garden umbrella that suits the external design of the surrounding environment, which can be based on the main style in the exterior of the site.
3. Size
Garden umbrellas can have different sizes, starting with a standard diameter of 1.5 meters and finishing with large-sized models, diameters of about 3 meters or more. Some manufacturers agree to produce an umbrella to order. In this case, its size can reach an impressive scale — 4 by 4 meters. Under such a canopy without problems will hide in the heat or during the rain all the members of the large family.
4. Frame
Folding
A folding umbrella on a collapsible basis is a classic model with central support. It does not require much free space for its installation. The stand has two types of attachment: bolt (parts are held together by a screwed-in metal bolt) or latching (the latch mechanism goes down and holds the support).
Telescopic
The peculiarity of these models is that the awning is collected upwards when folded, without taking up extra space. These umbrellas are among the most popular due to their compactness.
Cantilever
The umbrella consists of a vertical holder and a sloping console. The umbrella is attached to the free end of the support, and the stand is located on the side of the dome. This design provides more usable space compared to models with a stand in the middle.
5. Frame material
The material of the frame depends largely on the service life, as well as the stability and mobility of the umbrella. The lightest and most reasonably priced models are made of plastic. The wooden frame looks environmentally friendly and naturally fits into the atmosphere of the countryside. However, in view of the aggressive effects of environmental factors, such an umbrella will not last long. The most durable, but at the same time, and more expensive, are frames made of steel or cast iron. They are stable, not afraid of wind gusts, and extremely reliable.
6. Canvas
The quality of the fabric has a direct impact on the durability of the entire structure. The most common materials for sewing street umbrellas are polyester, nylon, acrylic, and tent textiles.
These synthetic fabrics are resistant to deformation and burnout in the sun, impregnated with special compounds, and have waterproof properties.
7. Shape
A round concave dome is considered a classic model, perfectly combined with any design of the veranda or seating area. Square tents act as the second most popular variety. Less common are oval designs or polygonal asymmetries. Such models are more often performed on demand.
Conclusion
Our body certainly needs the sun, but only in moderation. Under the influence of warm sunlight, we produce vitamin D and improve our mood. Unfortunately, a long stay in the heat can have a negative impact on health. Therefore, being outside in the summer without protection is not recommended. Buying a garden umbrella and using other UV protection will make your vacation carefree and safe.
