It seems that summer is approaching, and the sun is already very abundant in the current months. When we plan to have a meal in the courtyard, of course we must choose a comfortable patio umbrella! However, there are many types of umbrellas on the market, and the quality is uneven. How can I choose one that suits my family?

Types of umbrellas

1. Umbrella

The center pillar umbrella is the umbrella pillar in the middle, it will also be divided into the center pillar aluminum umbrella, hand-cranked umbrella, optimus umbrella and other small categories. No matter how it is subdivided, the basic concept of the center pillar umbrella is the same. The center pillar umbrella is suitable for use in areas where the courtyard is not very large, and the table in the courtyard must ensure that a parasol can be inserted in the middle.

Advantages: Since the umbrella column is in the middle, the area under the umbrella is uniform. People can choose a place to sit around the umbrella column; and relatively speaking, the center column umbrella occupies a relatively small space and is relatively simple to retract.

Disadvantages: There will be requirements for tables with umbrellas, and people's seats will also be limited, which is inconvenient to move.

2. Side umbrella

The side umbrella is the umbrella column next to it, and it can also be subdivided into unilateral umbrellas, Roman umbrellas, 360°rotating umbrellas, banana umbrellas, luxury wooden hanging umbrellas and other types. This kind of umbrella is now more popular, because the umbrella column of the side umbrella is independent on one side, so it has 100% space utilization.

Advantages: It avoids the trouble and embarrassment of perforating on the table during use of the traditional parasol; and this type of umbrella has stronger wind resistance and is more convenient to move.

Disadvantages: The price may be relatively higher than that of the center pillar umbrella.

Selection suggestions:

The center-pillar umbrella is inserted in the middle of the table, so it occupies a relatively small space and is suitable for small courtyards, balconies, etc.; the side-pillar umbrella can effectively use the space under the umbrella and has a better sunshade effect, but because For opening and closing and umbrella seat space problems, a certain gap is required on the back of the umbrella column, which is suitable for medium and large courtyards.
