Tuuci Market Umbrellas or Galtech Market Umbrellas should be chosen wisely according to the look of your patio or establishment. According to your taste, the shape, size, fabric material, and color should match all the other furniture in the area. In the designer mode, decorate from the patio umbrella out.
Free-standing Tuuci umbrellas are for a bigger patio or public area. These umbrellas can be moved about the area to accommodate the patron or guest. These umbrellas can be used in the middle of a table which helps designing with smaller areas. An patio umbrella base with wheels can be employed for ease of moving.
Tuuci and Galtech umbrellas range from 6 feet to 11 feet in diameter. The size of an umbrella should be based on your physical situation and how big of an area needs to be shaded. What time of day will it be used? This will determine how big of one you will need.
When choosing a Tuuci umbrella, there are many options to consider – well manufactured design, the pole strength, the material of the frame (stainless steel, aluminum, wood or fiberglass), the fabric, the ease of storage, and the ease of opening and closing. If it is hard to open and close, do not purchase it. We recommend buying from only major manufacturers (if you can afford it, this is the difinate way to go).
Whether you are shopping for a simple Galtech umbrella for residential use or several market umbrellas for a large commercial area, your main considerations should be style, comfort, and quality. We recommend companies who offer a unique choice of market umbrellas to choose from. The choice of market umbrellas can go a long way to unify the look of you garden or pool-side area, so it is important to choose the correct style that coordinates with your decor. These companies offer a wide variety of market umbrellas in many different styles from the top manufacturers in the umbrella industry.
Market umbrellas are important additions to your outdoor living are. Place them around the pool area to shade the sun and enjoy the cool breeze off the pool water. These umbrellas are stylish, and designed to last for years to come.
The canopy fabric comes in a variety of types. They can be acrylic, vinyl, polyester, natural thatch and synthetic thatch. Some fabrics have a 5 year guarantee against fading.
Many manufacturers offer accessories. These include lights, mosquito netting, replaceable canvas, torches and storage bags. Lights are wonderful creating the romantic mood at night.
For the high-tech, remote controls are offered. Imagine putting your umbrella up and down while inside the house.
Umbrella bases are an important decision. A Tuuci or Galtech umbrella should never fall over. If it does the umbrella support is too light. For example, a 9 foot umbrella should have at least a 60 lb base (lighter if it is through a table). You cannot be too heavy. Do not attach the base where the umbrella will not come out with a gust of wind. You want the umbrella to fly, but without the base.
Bases for umbrella come different sizes and materials. Always go on the heavy side depending on your area. Extreme High wind areas such as the beach need a heavier base than a non-windy area.
The difference between a market and a patio umbrella is the market does not have valances that hang down around the umbrella. The market has a valance at the top which is a wind vent that allows 25% or more of the wind to escape through the top. Both are equally as strong and can be used with tables.
The market umbrella is the anchor of your patio. The design or theme of your patio should coordinate with the umbrella.
Another option is the offset market umbrella. Whether manual or automatic (you can find them with remote control), these umbrellas can give you better coverage from the sun. The center pole is gone which opens up your design options.
Before purchasing, look at the warranty (usually one to three years), manufacturing time, and estimate delivery time.
Consider your purchase of a Galtech or Tuuci umbrella as a long-term investment enhancing your outdoor living for years to come.
