Cantilever umbrellas are some of the most stylish and functional types of outdoor umbrellas available today. Unlike regular umbrellas with the pole in the middle, cantilever models have the main mast or pole on one side of the umbrella. Consider the following factors to help you choose the right cantilever umbrella:
- Space – Where will you be using your cantilever umbrella? If you are dealing with a tight floor space, consider a wall cantilever umbrella. For large spaces that need to be shaded, choose multi-mast cantilever umbrellas that can mount up to four umbrellas off the one masrt/pole.
- Usage – Will you be utilising your patio from sunrise until sunset? If so, a tilting and rotating cantilever umbrella will be an excellent choice for you. With this you can adjust the angle and position of the umbrella to counter the movement of the sun during the day. You can get ample shade any time of the day by simple tilting or rotating the canopy of the umbrella.
- User – Who will be operating the umbrella? The best option is to purchase a cantilever umbrella model that is easy to open and close. If you buy umbrellas with simple sliding mechanisms that use gas-strut technology, this system is almost effortless to use.
- Installation – If you want to move your cantilever umbrella around, opt for a portable base. Otherwise, more permanent installation options for your umbrella include an in-ground anchor which will require a concrete footing, a surface plate which is ideal for decks or existing concrete areas or elect for a wall mount option if that works best for you.
- Your location – If you live in a windy area in the US, perhaps in a coastal location, make sure you cantilever umbrella can cope with higher wind speeds. The best cantilever umbrellas are made from marine-grade stainless steel and aluminum frames and have high-quality fittings.
- Surroundings – Cantilever umbrellas are simple yet the premium models look modern and classy and can greatly enhance an outdoor are and its surroundings. Choose from a wide range of the latest colors like slate gray, bitter orange, midnight blue, taupe, and arctic white. To ensure the color of your umbrella will stay the same, make sure the fabric is resistant to fading and stains – the likes of Dickson or Sunbrella acrylics are best. It also helps if the canopy is resistant to molds and can be removed for cleaning. To keep your cantilever umbrellas in prime condition, ensure it comes with a protection cover to cover the umbrella when not in use.
