What Are the Types of Awnings?
May 31, 2025Umbrellas are generally used to protect against natural elements such as rain, snow, and sunlight. They typically consist of four parts: the handle, the shaft, the mechanism, and the canopy. To ensure effective protection from external elements, umbrellas are made from specially woven fabrics and durable materials. The structure usually includes ribs of various lengths attached to the frame, designed with a specific level of flexibility. This flexibility allows for smooth opening and closing. Since both the fabric and the ribs are exposed to environmental conditions, they must be made from high-quality, durable materials. These components should be especially resistant to water and corrosion, as long-term exposure to moisture and rust can damage the umbrella’s opening and closing mechanism.
How Are They Used?
Umbrellas are easy to use thanks to their built-in mechanisms. For models with automatic systems, they can be opened with the push of a button. In particular, our large-size umbrellas feature a strong aluminum frame and a telescopic opening system, making them practical and long-lasting—even in windy weather, they can be closed quickly and safely.
Where and for What Purpose Are They Used?
The primary use of umbrellas is for protection in rainy environments. The second most common use is in sunny areas, where the main goal is to shield users from the sun’s harmful rays and effects. Among giant umbrellas, square, round, and French-style models are the most preferred. These are commonly used in cafés, restaurants, poolside areas, and gardens, depending on the intended purpose.
