Fabrics, bases, and crank lift systems.

Two popular fabric material options are polyester and olefin fabrics, both are very good, the polyester is usually cheaper in price, olefin fabric may cost more, but is more resistant to mold and mildew.The market place offers a good selection of fabric colors, making the color selection will be fun and easy. When fitting any patio umbrellas to a base, be sure you get the pole diameter size from the supplier before purchasing, always make sure the pole has a tight fit to the base. When looking at a cranking lift system to raise the umbrella, check with the supplier and confirm if the lift system is easy to crank, having a weak lift system can be frustrating. This basic information can save you valuable time and money, be sure to do good research before placing your order.

More options and canopy size selections.

Residential and commercial designs give the customer good options for personal or business use, available are several different canopy styles and cuts. Canopy sizes available: 6', 7.5', 8.5', 9',10', 11', etc. A very popular type of patio umbrella is the cantilever style that turns 360 degrees, and offers the most shade. When looking at a advanced "collar-tilt" design, this style separates tilt position control from the user friendly crank-to-open feature.
