Garden Umbrellas: Why choosing it

There are many different needs for which to choose a garden umbrella; for both private individuals and public places, it is definitely a long-term investment.

First of all, it is perfect for the spring and summer season, when you want to enjoy the heat without risking getting burnt or, even worse, running into unexpected rain. But they can also be useful in autumn and winter; for those who don’t want to give up sitting in the cooler weather, having a safe shelter is a small incentive. And for bars and restaurants, it’s not a matter to be ignored.

If you want to add a touch of luxury and comfort to your poolside or outdoor living room, you can’t help but buy one. Placed between two sun loungers or in the middle of a table, it will not only provide protection from the sun’s rays, but will also be an impressive and elegant decorative element.

Routine maintenance

Trying to take good care of your garden umbrella, pole and cover will help it last as long as possible.

First of all, weekly cleaning of the pole with a simple cloth and of the cover with a damp cloth are essential; also try to keep an eye on all the mechanics and moving parts, perhaps oiling them regularly. Take care of any stains, scratches and nicks with paint, sandpaper or paint markers. In the case of small tears in the cover, a normal seam or a small patch can solve the problem; for more serious situations, you will definitely have to change the garden umbrella cover.

If you have parasols with LED lights or USB sockets, make sure that the electrical/electronic part is well protected; in the case of lights, check the condition of the bulbs regularly and change them if necessary.
