The Top 4 Garden Umbrellas & Which Is Best for You?

If you’re looking for ways to give your garden a makeover, adding a garden umbrella is a great option. But, before you go shopping for garden umbrellas in Sydney, it pays to know a little about them.

My years at Ashadya Shade Sails & Blinds have taught me everything there is to garden umbrellas. So in today’s article, I will share some of my knowledge with you to help you choose the right garden umbrella for your needs.

What to look for in a garden umbrella

First, it’s good to understand that garden umbrellas are technically outdoor patio umbrellas – they’re just referred to by a different name based on their usage.

Secondly, there are many factors to consider when you’re purchasing a garden umbrella. Most importantly is the size and shape of the umbrella. Garden umbrellas come in square, rectangular and octagonal shapes, and each shape is available in a range of sizes. Depending on the area you want to shade and the style you’re looking to create, choose an outdoor umbrella accordingly.

Another thing to consider when shopping for a garden umbrella is the durability of the pole or the side post that supports the umbrella. The pole should be sturdy, yet lightweight, and should also be resistant to rotting – this is important. It should also offer a reliable and easy-to-use mechanism to adjust the mast.

Finally, the last factor to consider when purchasing a garden umbrella is the quality of the shade fabric. You should always choose outdoor umbrellas that are made out of high-quality shade fabrics for maximum UV protection – such as Ashadya’s range of outdoor umbrellas.
