Market Umbrella – Protect Your Self From Any Weather Conditions
Market umbrellas are the ones we rush to for shelter when suddenly caught in rain or suffering from oppressive sun heat. These umbrellas are installed at a chosen place and they are fairly massive in size and hence not practicable to shift.
These umbrellas can be placed in convenient places to protect people from harsh weather conditions just like patio covers. For instance, having a market umbrella installed at the court yard of your house will help you hold meetings or family parties or use by children as play area – regardless of weather conditions. Market umbrellas are ubiquitously seen in many public places like amusement parks, market places, beach side, wayside restaurants etc.
During earlier times, market umbrellas were made only in wood – primarily because wood had the inherent property to resist varying weather conditions like sun light heat, rain and coldness. Wood umbrellas demand metal reinforcements at crucial stress points to avoid shearing with prolonged use. So, some brass or brushed metal joints are used at the pole’s handle area and in the rib structure for lending added support.
However, with passage of time people started making market umbrella in aluminum as aluminum is of light weight and therefore easy to shift from one place to another depending on exigencies.
This apart, aluminum is quite durable and available in different appealing colors and you can choose the color in keeping with your taste and the overall ambiance of the place of its location. These umbrellas are also available in many shapes like triangular, circular, hexagonal etc and with provision to tilt them to suit your convenience. The sizes also vary and you can select some commodious ones if you wish to accommodate large number of people.
Many manufactures are offering aluminum umbrellas with a steel pole or shaft fixed at the center to provide additional strength to the umbrellas to withstand gales and fierce winds. These umbrellas are designed for beach sides and places prone to heavy rains or thunderstorms.
Several municipal corporations and social service organizations are spending money to buy market umbrellas to provide respite to the general public from the sweltering heat of summer and pouring monsoon rains. These umbrellas provide immense relief from the heavy weather conditions particularly those who hold outdoor jobs.
There is no doubt that market umbrella can be a good long-term investment for your courtyards and other outdoor settings. You can add to the aesthetics if you select umbrellas of the right style, size, shape and color that will blend well with your outdoor furniture.
The market umbrellas are widely used by wayside eateries to provide shelter for their customers as also to increase their seating capacity. With an umbrella installed to protect them from the weather, cafe owners are able to attract more customers to their shop and those present also order more items to stay around longer.
When deciding to buy a market umbrella, never compromise on quality even it means you have to pay more – as this is a long term investment.
