Have Fun Outdoors with a Patio Umbrella
A patio umbrella can solve the problem of burning sun or dining after dark. It can offer instant shade or protection from the rain. Read on for more interesting information on outdoor patio umbrellas.
The choice of a patio umbrella stand should match your furniture and patio. The stand should be heavy enough to prevent tipping of the umbrella. It should also secure the umbrella for storms.
Be sure to lower the umbrella any time there is a forecast of high winds. This will prevent damage to the cover and to the splines from the wind. During the winter, you will want to move the umbrella to an indoor location for storage. Wait until the danger of high winds in March have subsided before bringing out the umbrella for the spring.
An offset umbrella is a great match for a pair of chairs in a conversation pit. There is no pole to stand between the occupants of the chairs to hinder conversation. The offset gives the look of a suspended umbrella and can be quite stunning.
If you like to be on the patio after sunset consider adding a lighted patio umbrella. LED lights line the splines of the the umbrella and offer just the right amount of light for a evening dinner party.
When the old cover on your umbrella begins to show the effects of the sun and other weather, consider replacing the cover only. If the structural parts of the umbrella are still in good shape, a new cover will give you several more seasons use of the umbrella. This trick can also be used whenever you update patio cushions. Order a new cover to coordinate with the colors in the new cushions.
