3 Common Questions Answered about wooden patio umbrella

 

• Q1: What size wooden patio umbrella do I need for my table?

 

The perfect wooden patio umbrella’s diameter should gracefully exceed the table's by 100 centimeters and empathize with the potential complexities of these calculations, which might inadvertently impact the seamless coordination between your patio furniture and wooden patio umbrella. 

 

This is precisely why opting for a complete ensemble of umbrella tables and chairs from Sintai offers you a more convenient and reassuring choice.

 

• Q2: What Type of Parasol Should I Select for the Garden?

 

Common shapes include round (or octagonal), square, and rectangular, each offering distinct shade characteristics to suit different preferences and needs.

 

Moreover, it is important to select the shape that complements the table shape and consider the amount of shade required, as different canopy shapes offer varying levels of coverage. 

 

• Round/Octangle

 

 

 

The term "round" typically refers to a canopy with 6 or 8 panels and sides. Technically, these "round" umbrellas are hexagons or octagons, essentially squares with corners cut off. 

 

Due to this shape, round umbrellas provide smaller shade coverage compared to square ones of the same size, as their size is measured by diameter rather than length.

 

• Square

A square umbrella for patio sets is more straightforward; the size of it would be the length. 

 

Currently, the most common size you can find on the market for a parasol for a garden in this shape is usually 6.5 ft (198cm), but keep in mind that a square umbrella does come at a higher price than a round one due to the larger coverage.

 

• Rectangle

 

If your patio table doesn't fit into the round or square category, don't fret; there are plenty of rectangular parasols available. 

 

Prior to selecting one, measure your table and consider the additional space needed for seating. 

 

It's recommended to ensure the width is at least 2 feet (60 cm) longer than each side of a rectangular table to provide adequate coverage.

 

⦁  Q3: Which Fabric Options are Available for Wooden Market Umbrellas?

 

Some common characteristics you should consider are color fading resistance against UV (also known as color fastness against UV), water resistance, thickness, touch, SPF, etc.  

 

In addition to fabric, the color of the canopy can sometimes also influence color fading resistance against UV; the darker the color, the better the resistance. 

 

Here are the three most common fabrics used on wooden market umbrellas that you can take a look at.

 

Olefin	A solution-dyed fabric is an excellent choice for wooden market umbrellas due to its durability, easy maintenance, and stain resistance.    Widely used in outdoor furniture, it can withstand water, snow, and mud with ease.      Available in a variety of colors and textures, Olefin holds bright colors well and resists fading, although not as effectively as acrylic.
Acrylic	A type of solution-dyed fabric is manufactured with color before being woven into yarn.    This method results in superior color fastness against UV compared to yarn dye or piece-dyed fabric.      Acrylic fabric offers excellent UV protection and is highly resistant to mold and mildew, making it an ideal choice for crafting wooden market umbrellas.
Polyester	The most affordable in cost, but also offers good performance if treated properly.    less UV resistance, it needs to be treated with special finishes in order to last longer in outdoor settings. ​​​​​​​

 

How to maintain a Wooden Patio Umbrella?

 

 

Being treated and maintained periodically, your wooden patio umbrella is able to have better performance and most importantly, last longer. 

The following are some easy steps that you can take to maintain your parasols for the garden.

 

• Be Gentle When Cleaning the Fabric of a Wooden Patio Umbrella!

 

Cleaning the canopy of your wooden patio umbrella is not as hard as you think if you learn these few tricks.

 

• Gently swipe or vacuum off the loose dirt and soil before you scrub with soap and detergent to prevent the dirt from getting deep into the fabric. 

 

• Use mild detergent and warm water to get rid of normal household stains; We recommend laundry detergent.

 

• Scrub gently with soft brush (apply some pressure in areas with extensive stains or dirt)  and let it soak for 15 to 20 mins.

 

• Rinse and let it dry. Remember to only close the umbrella after it dries completely.

 

• Tips for Cleaning the Frame of a Wooden Patio Umbrella

 

Unlike the canopy, parasol frames typically require less frequent cleaning and fewer procedures. ]

 

Use fresh water and a clean cloth to wipe off surface stains. 

 

For a more thorough cleaning, occasionally consider the following:

 

For Wooden Frames	Create a mixture of two teaspoons of dishwashing detergent and two cups of water.    Use a clean cloth to wipe the frame with this mixture, then use another damp cloth to remove any residue.    Ensure excess moisture is removed before allowing the frame to air dry completely. Avoid covering the frame until it has dried completely. ​​​​​​​
For Metal Frames	Mix two teaspoons of dishwashing detergent with two cups of water and wipe the metal frame with a clean cloth using this mixture.    Use a damp cloth to remove any residue and allow the frame to air dry.    Avoid abrasive cleansers or bleach products, as they can damage the finish. ​​​​​​​

 

• Advantages of Closing Wooden Patio Umbrella Every Night

 

• Protecting it from potential damage and prolonging its lifespan.

 

• Preventing it from getting damaged by strong winds, rain, or other harsh weather elements.
