The Umbrella Pole: Metal or wooden or plastic?
The most familiar pole materials in the market today are wooden or metal. Some other umbrella poles are made of fiberglass, steel, plastic or resin composite types.

Wooden poles use a rope pulley system. These poles do not tilt, where as most metal patio umbrellas tilt and have cranks, but the very mechanisms that allow them to crank open, close and tilt can be the cause for them to break easily. Wooden poles break easily if the area is too breezy for it to withstand for long; so does the plastic ones.

Wooden poles usually swells in the stand when left out in the lightest of rain showers. This swelling will warp the wood and chances are that you will never be able to remove a wooden stub from a stand. This metal poles rust inside stands. When the water overflows, the rust stains the deck and the stand. Therefore always buy a metal stand and drill two holes on either side of the tube that holds the pole. This will help the water to escape and both situations are avoided. In short buy a durable metallic poles that can withstand the heavy rainfall and even the mad wind.

The Fabric:
If you are purchasing an umbrella for shade purpose then the canopy should have a UPF 50 rating. If you require a waterproof umbrella (for rainy season) then you need to go for different fabrics such as PVC. It is fully waterproof and also blocks 100% of UV
Research states that a good acrylic holds it colour very well, lasts for years and gives good protection against all but the heaviest rain.

The Umbrella Rib Arms: A general rule of thumb, while checking an umbrella rib arm is, the higher the rib count equals more strength and stability. Go for fiberglass ribs as these are outstanding at absorbing wind gusts without breaking and last five times longer than a traditional wood or aluminum ribs

Shade Size :
While making the best choice for the size of the umbrella see to that the umbrella size is 5 feet more than the area of the table you wish to shade as this will give extra room to even the chairs underneath it.
