Patio Umbrella Fabric
| Patio umbrella fabric comes in a wide range of quality, price and colors. Should you go with a cheaper or a more expensive outdoor fabric? |
Fabric and Outdoor Umbrellas
First lets talk practical. Here quality and price go together. A polyester, thinner, and less expensive fabric might work if you are careful about putting the umbrella away when you're not using it and storing it during your off season months. A more durable fabric is better for those of you (like me) who will leave it out in the hot sun and rain full time. In this case paying more for a better fabric that doesn't fade and lasts longer is the smart choice. Here is a picture of my daughter's patio umbrella. It was a deep red when she bought it and within one year had faded to this color. Her umbrella convinced me to pay for a Sunbrella patio umbrella.
It is important to look for a fabric that has been treated with chemicals to protect it from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This treatment protects the fabric from fading and getting brittle from the extreme heat of the sun. It also protects the guests under the umbrella from the effects of UV radiation.
Patio Umbrella Vents
Check to see what kind of venting is found on the top of the patio umbrella. Venting is quite an important feature - some have none and other outdoor umbrellas will have double venting.Venting allows for air and wind to move up and through the umbrella top. The two main benefits to this are: 1. Venting prevents warm, hot air from being trapped under the umbrella and allows the air to move which means a more comfortable setting 2. Venting provides stability to the umbrella. If a sudden gust of wind comes up the umbrella won't tip or become damaged.
Sunbrella Outdoor Fabric
Sunbrella outdoor fabric is used for outdoor chair and chaise cushions, hammocks, pillows, awnings and patio umbrellas. Some of the reasons people love this outdoor fabric is because of its durability and easy maintenance. Stain and mildew resistance are important features to consider when selecting your umbrella fabric. We just purchased a new patio umbrella and decided to spend a little extra on the Sunbrella fabric in order to get a fade and stain resistant umbrella.
