Create A Cool Shaded Oasis
In the Wine Country, we are blessed with a wonderful Mediterranean climate – hot, dry days and cool, even cold evenings. The trick to maximizing your outdoor lifestyle is shade during the hot temperatures of daytime, and warmth, from a fire pit or a heater in the evening to keep the evening’s chill at bay.
On a hot day, you’ll watch your guests chase shade wherever it can be found – be it under a tree, under the eaves of the house, or better yet under umbrellas you’ve thoughtfully provided. The truth is simply this: You can’t have too much shade! Protect your sensitive skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun – an umbrella clad in Sunbrella™ performance fabrics blocks over 90% of the sun’s harmful UV rays.
Cantilever umbrellas come in many shapes, sizes, configurations, and price levels. Single canopy, double-canopy, even 4 canopies on a single frame are possible. The beauty of an outdoor cantilever umbrella over a center-mast umbrella is the fact that the cantilever umbrella’s mast is not smack dab in the middle of your furniture grouping. It's off to the side, out of the way, so you don’t have to worry about if a chair can’t go there or the umbrella base is in the way.
Nearly all cantilever umbrellas rotate 360° on their mounting spindle. This comes in very handy- the canopy can be moved so it shields the grouping from the sun. For example, the canopy can be faced East in the morning, and finish the day facing West.
Some cantilever umbrellas have canopies that tilt. Depending on the manufacturer and the canopy size, the cantilever umbrella may:
- • Non-tilting
- Tilt up/down on the Mast’s axis
- Tilt side-to-side in relation to the mast
- Both up/down on the mast and side-to-side
If you spend more on a cantilever umbrella, what do you get in return? In a word – durability! Sunbrella™ Marine-Grade canopy fabrics. Higher degrees of wind resistance. Component-replaceable parts. In a word, an umbrella that is not just a disposable item that will break.
As mentioned previously, cantilevers are inherently unstable since all the weight is hanging on one side of the mast. Therefore, wind can wreak havoc on cheap cantilevers which really are meant for very sheltered environments. However, commercial-grade cantilever umbrellas, such as TUUCI Oceanmaster MAX Cantilever, are built to withstand higher levels of stress than standard umbrellas, and in a cantilever, this extra durability will ultimately pay for itself in the long haul. Compare the cross-section of a TUUCI cantilever to a rival one – the TUUCI mast shares many similarities to the internals of a sailboat’s mast.
Enhance your outdoor lifestyle experience by investing in patio umbrellas that will keep your guests cool in the blazing heat of the day, yet not break when there is the inevitable gust of wind.
