Looking to purchase residential outdoor umbrellas?

In the world of urbanisation and matchbox personal spaces, an outdoor area is truly a luxury. But a nice outdoor area comes with its own challenges. A summer day out is only comfortable as long as the sun doesn’t directly affect you.  Outdoor umbrellas are very useful in this aspect. But as with all outdoor furniture, an umbrella is tricky. It isn’t cheap and you would definitely prefer one that can withstand the elements.

What's the best kind of outdoor umbrella?

When buying a patio umbrella, the first decision you have to make is what design you want. The outdoor space limitations, the layout of the furniture and the intended use will all take into account which style is right for you. Your own personal taste is the final determinant, even after considering all of these variables. But what's there out there? There is a wide range of patio umbrellas to choose from but all of them generally fall into one of two categories: centre pole or offset.

What are Different Kinds of Patio Umbrellas?

• Market Umbrella- This is the centre pole umbrella's most common design. With a clean edge, it has a circular or octagonal form. To promote airflow, some canopies are vented, which cools the area below and helps the umbrella withstand windy conditions.

• Beach Umbrella-A minimalist style seems to have this sort of umbrella. The canopy generally has a circular shape around the edge, with hanging valances. A basic spiked foundation, which is inserted into the sand, is used by many beach umbrellas.

• This specialised umbrella is made with one flat hand, allowing it to be put flush against a wall. Half Umbrella It's great for shading balconies that have limited spaces or small porches. Think of it as an awning that is portable. Clean corners, drapes or valances are rounded or straight with canopies.
