We use solution dyed fabrics which means when the fibre is being made from a liquid form, it’s dyed before being extruded and this way the dye covers the entire fibre inside and out. The other way is to make the fibre first and then dye it, doing it this way is called conventional dying which can fade in 1-2 years depending on how much sun it receives as your only coating the outside of the fibre.
Here are some frequently asked questions about outdoor umbrellas.
Can’t find the answer you’re looking for?
An outdoor umbrella is a canopy-like structure designed to provide shade and protection from the sun and other elements in outdoor spaces. It typically consists of a frame and a fabric canopy.
Outdoor umbrellas come in various types, including market umbrellas, cantilever umbrellas, patio umbrellas, beach umbrellas, and commercial-grade umbrellas, each designed for specific purposes and settings.
To determine the appropriate size for your outdoor umbrella, measure the length and width of the area you want to cover. Consider the shape and dimensions of the umbrella and make sure measurements of the umbrella don’t exceed the measurements of your area. Always try and select the biggest umbrella that will fit in your space – you won’t regret having extra shade!
While good quality outdoor umbrellas are typically made from water-repellant canvas, they may not be entirely waterproof. However remember that your outdoor umbrella is not a permanent structure, and if the rain was so torrential as to leak through the umbrella canvas you would not usually be sitting under it anyway. For 100% waterproof solutions, consider a permanent structural umbrella.
Regularly clean the fabric canopy with mild soap and water to remove dirt and stains – use a medium-bristle brush to assist with this. Make sure to remove stubborn stains like bird droppings and tree sap promptly and do not allow it to penetrate the fabric. Keep the frame and moving parts clean and free of cobwebs and dirt. Use a protective cover to prolong the life of the canopy and frame and store the umbrella in a dry, protected area during the winter months if possible.
