With
skin cancer on the rise, and a growing concern for protection from the
sun, more products are available to provide shade. When you spend time
outdoors, whether on the patio or by the pool, having a simple patio umbrella
or canopy will keep you, family and friends both comfortable and better
protected from the sun’s harsh UV rays. At the same time, there
is no sacrifice in style. Many types of outdoor umbrellas are designed
to enhance garden décor, or at least complement it. Here are several
types of outdoor umbrellas to choose from.
Shade Structures Available: Outdoor Umbrellas
Did you know that there are several types of outdoor umbrellas available?
Years ago the choice was to buy a simple patio umbrella, (the kind that
fits into the center of a table and is weighted with a base beneath).
Today fancy components, accessories and types give you more choice in
creating outdoor shade
.
For the functional part, you can buy an umbrella that is offset or features
a tilting mechanism. An offset umbrella can be used in many situations.
It is an excellent choice if you have a view as its’ unique design
houses the pole out of your way and off to the side. These attractive
umbrella canopies come in varying sizes: (8’X 8’10’X10’),
shapes: (hexagonal, rectangular and square), and can fit any budget.
Another choice is the auto tilt umbrella. This umbrellas is useful as
it can be, somewhat, angled to shield the sun. If you need to block bright
morning sun or hot afternoon rays, a sun shade by Dayva that provides
an arc of shade might also be a consideration.
As far as umbrella features and options, you can buy a remote umbrella
that opens and closes with the touch of a button from a remote location.
Also, add umbrella lights for ambience at night. You can buy the kind
that create accent lighting, or fixtures that provide visual lighting.
And, if the mosquitoes are biting, consider buying an umbrella net!
