Market Umbrella Terminology
There are terms that you need to be familiar with if you are planning to buy a patio or market umbrella. Here are some of these terms.
The umbrella frame is made of a number of components.
The umbrellas come with cranks or push pins to lift the shade canopy open. Most of the aluminum umbrellas either have a manual push open lift with push button pin or a crank to lift the shade canopy open.
Rotating the umbrella crank will open the umbrella. For some of those aluminum umbrellas with the tilt-mechanism, the crank also facilitates tilting the umbrella.
Most of the wood umbrellas either have a push up mechanism or pulley and pin type of feature to raise the umbrella.
The finial at the top of the umbrella, is both decorative and functional. It also anchors the top of the shade cover or fabric to the umbrella frame.
As for the the umbrella pole, most come in two pieces for easy storage and shipping. These are mostly made of aluminum or wood, but there also those made of fiberglass, plastic, steel and resin composite types.
The umbrella rib arms are the pieces of the umbrella frame which spread out and support the shade cover when in open position. Usually, the more the rib count the more strength and stability.
Those umbrellas that tilt provide extra shade options for better sun protection. There are few types of tilt features like buttons at the top of the umbrella frame underneath the rib hub, or the crank feature.
