Features:
Aluminum alloy is one of the most commonly used materials for beach umbrella poles. It has the significant advantage of being lightweight and easy to carry and install. For example, a beach umbrella of normal size (about 2-3 meters in diameter) can be easily picked up and inserted into the beach by one person with its aluminum alloy pole.
Aluminum alloy has high strength and can withstand a certain degree of external force. It has good corrosion resistance and is not easy to rust even in the humid and salty air at the seaside. This makes the service life of aluminum alloy umbrella poles relatively long and the maintenance cost low.
Applicable scenarios:
Suitable for various leisure beach scenes, whether it is an individual enjoying sunbathing on the beach or a small family having a picnic on the beach. For situations where the beach umbrella needs to be moved frequently, the lightness of the aluminum alloy umbrella column is a major advantage.
Features:
Wooden umbrella poles can give people a natural and rustic feeling, which complements the natural environment of the beach. High-quality wooden umbrella poles, such as teak, oak and other materials, have high strength. Teak itself contains natural oils, which makes it have good moisture-proof and anti-corrosion properties.
Wooden poles are beautiful in appearance, with unique texture and color, which can add elegance to beach umbrellas. However, wooden poles are relatively heavy and may require more effort to install. Moreover, they need to be well protected from long-term moisture, insect infestation and other problems.
Applicable scenarios:
It is more suitable for use in some high-end resort beaches or tropical beach areas. For example, on the beach in front of a luxury holiday villa by the sea, a wooden beach umbrella can be used as a decorative and practical choice to create a leisurely and comfortable atmosphere.
Features:
The biggest feature of stainless steel umbrella poles is that they are strong and durable. They have high strength and hardness and can withstand large external forces, including severe weather conditions such as strong winds. Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and will hardly rust, so it can be used for a long time in complex environments such as the seaside.
However, stainless steel umbrella poles are relatively heavy, and the price may be slightly higher than that of aluminum alloy umbrella poles. It has a brighter appearance and a stronger sense of modernity, and is more suitable for some beach scenes that focus on industrial design style.
Applicable scenarios:
Suitable for commercial beach areas, such as beach umbrellas outside beach bars and restaurants, or in some windy seaside areas. For beach umbrellas that need to be used for a long time and have extremely high stability requirements, stainless steel umbrella poles are a good choice.
1. Diameter affects stability
The diameter of the umbrella pole is directly related to the stability of the beach umbrella. Generally speaking, umbrella poles with larger diameters can provide more stable support. For large beach umbrellas (such as umbrellas with a diameter of more than 3 meters) or beach umbrellas used in windy seaside environments, it is recommended to choose umbrella poles with thicker diameters. For example, an umbrella pole with a diameter of 4-5 cm will have better wind resistance than an umbrella pole with a diameter of 3 cm.
However, a larger diameter umbrella pole will also increase the weight of the umbrella, which may sacrifice portability. Therefore, when choosing a beach umbrella, you need to consider the specific size of the beach umbrella, the environment in which it is used, and whether it needs to be moved frequently.
2. Relationship between thickness and strength
The thickness of the pole is also an important consideration. Thicker poles are stronger and can withstand more pressure. In some high-quality beach umbrellas, the pole wall thickness may reach 2-3 mm or even thicker. This thickness can effectively prevent the pole from bending or breaking during use.
For some specially designed beach umbrellas, such as those with heavier decorative accessories or those that need to bear additional weight (such as hanging lamps, decorations, etc.), choosing an umbrella column with sufficient thickness is the key to ensure safety and stability.
1. Connection between umbrella column and rib
The connection method between the umbrella column and the ribs directly affects the overall stability of the beach umbrella. A good connection method should be tight and firm, and can effectively transmit force. Common connection methods include metal joint connection, mortise and tenon connection (for wooden umbrellas), etc.
Metal joints usually use high-strength metal connectors, such as stainless steel screws, nuts or special metal clamps. These connectors can ensure the tight connection between the ribs and the umbrella column, and when encountering external forces such as wind, the force can be evenly distributed to the umbrella column. For the mortise and tenon joints of wooden umbrellas, it is necessary to ensure the processing accuracy of the tenons and mortises so that they can fit perfectly and provide stable support.
2. Compatibility with umbrella base
The bottom of the umbrella pole needs to be used with the umbrella base to ensure that the beach umbrella can stand stably on the beach. Different types of umbrella poles may have different requirements for umbrella bases. For example, the bottom of the aluminum alloy umbrella pole is usually designed with interfaces that adapt to standard umbrella bases. The diameter and shape of these interfaces need to match the umbrella base.
When choosing an umbrella pole, consider whether it is compatible with the existing umbrella base or the umbrella base you plan to purchase. Some high-end beach umbrella poles and umbrella bases are designed as a set, which can maximize stability and safety. At the same time, the weight and fixing method of the umbrella base (such as plug-in type, suction cup type, etc.) will also affect the stability of the umbrella pole, which needs to be considered comprehensively.
