Blue Island Umbrella

How much wind can your Blue Island umbrella handle?

In the case of Blue Island umbrellas, bigger isn't always better. The keys to to having umbrellas that can stand up to the Blue Island wind are having a strong frame and ribs. When looking for a Blue Island umbrella frame, make sure it is made out of a strong metal. Some inexpensive Illinois umbrellas use uni-chrome metal, which can break apart very easily. As such, you want a Blue Island umbrella frame that is made out of steel or another sturdy metallic material. In terms of the Blue Island umbrella ribs, look for fiberglass whenever possible. Fiberglass is a material that bends and flexes, so having it attached to your umbrella helps your rain umbrella withstand strong Blue Island winds. So, the next time you buy a Illinois umbrella, make sure you check out its frame and ribs.
