As the summer months approach and come upon us, it's common to look for ways to avoid the heat. Sometimes you can do this by swimming, staying inside in the air conditioning, or possibly the cheapest and most convenient route would be to purchase a large outdoor umbrella. Let's cover a few deciding factors before you go out and make your purchase!
1 - Firstly, you're going to need to find a space for your umbrella to go. Maybe you have a small porch or patio --> www.massidecor.com/catalog/Patio_Swings-83-1.html , or maybe you have a place in your yard that's been weeded and already has a table and chairs just waiting to be shaded. Whatever your case may be, just get a spot picked and find out what the minimum, as well as maximum, size umbrella that will fit in your space.
2 - Next up is something that can really make or break the given area that you have set aside for your comfort zone. The color of the umbrella is a very important choice. If you already have existing furniture in place, decide on a color or pattern that will either tie everything together, or bring a strong contrast that will bring some life to the area.
3 - Keep in mind while deciding on your color or pattern that different colors last longer before fading as well as block more or less sun. Reds tend to block more of the suns harmful rays, but they also typically fade sooner than other colors, so keep that in mind!
4 - Another important option to consider is whether or not you are going to need an umbrella that tilts or cranks as opposed to a stationary straight umbrella. There are advantages and disadvantages to each option. A crank umbrella allows you to open or close it at will, but it requires the time to open or close it accordingly. A tilt umbrella, again, allows the flexibility of being able to turn and tilt the umbrella head to block the sun more efficiently. Last, but not least, a straight umbrella is always open and always in one place. This can be helpful, but during a storm or even the off season, these can be cumbersome to take down and store.
5 - Finally, you're going to need to come to a conclusion on whether or not you want a wooden or metal umbrella pole. Once again, each has their own appealing look and feel as well as physical advantage and disadvantage.
Most of these options can come down to preference, while others are really more about flexibility, functionality, and ease of use for you and your family or guests. Either way, these are the main 'speed bumps' that you will encounter during your search for the perfect summer umbrella --> massidecor.com/blog/ !
