That the first impulse of the sea wind does not deform the beach umbrella, its frame must be made of a durable material. Undoubtedly, the most durable material is steel, but this metal is quite heavy, so it's worth to look at the models, the frame of which is made of steel covered with titanium coating. Thanks to the use of this technology, manufacturers have been able to reduce the diameter and thickness of the carcass without loss in its strength. As for umbrellas with an aluminum frame, it is difficult to call them qualitative. Even a slight gust of wind can not only deform the umbrella, but also break it. To avoid this, you must choose models with a stand. A flat lightweight design, which should be filled with sand or water, allows you to mount the umbrella on any surface. Metal should be and spokes, fixing the material of the dome. Models with plastic knitting needles sometimes fail on the first day of use, which, of course, darkens the rest.
The dome of a beach umbrella is usually made of polyester or natural cotton. The latter for strength should be impregnated with a composition repelling water. Advantages and disadvantages are found in polyester and cotton. So, the material of a synthetic origin differs high durability and ease of leaving, but it does not pass air. Being under such an umbrella in the summer heat is uncomfortable. Dome of cotton is perfectly ventilated, but this material burns out faster. In addition, the pollution from it is not easy to remove. Attention deserves and such characteristics as the diameter of the dome. A large beach umbrella is worth buying only if the big company plans to spend time under it. For a family of three or four people, an umbrella with a diameter of 180 centimeters is sufficient.

On the stand, the manufacturers put a special handle, with which you can adjust the angle of the dome without moving either the stand or the foot.
Another nice and functional addition to the folding road umbrella is the cover for its transportation and storage. Excellent, if there is a handle, thanks to which a folded beach umbrella can be carried on the shoulder, freeing hands. Not superfluous will be in the case and special ventilation holes, preventing the appearance of fungus and unpleasant odor .
