Wilmette Umbrella

How much wind can your Wilmette umbrella handle?

In the case of Wilmette umbrellas, bigger isn't always better. The keys to to having umbrellas that can stand up to the Wilmette wind are having a strong frame and ribs. When looking for a Wilmette 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 Wilmette umbrella frame that is made out of steel or another sturdy metallic material. In terms of the Wilmette 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 Wilmette winds. So, the next time you buy a Illinois umbrella, make sure you check out its frame and ribs.
