Shade Umbrella

How much wind can your shade umbrella handle?

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