What Kind of Support Design Provides the Best Stability?

The experts at SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED provide multiple options to choose from, no matter the weather conditions in your area.

Modern commercial grade patio umbrellas are built to maintain an adequate “footprint” in contact with the ground, deck, or concrete pad. They achieve this by using various base options ranging from fairly lightweight portable ground plates or hollow aluminum bases that can be filled with sand for additional weight, through heavy steel or concrete bases of increasing weight, all the way up to heavy-duty semi-permanent ground anchors that attach the umbrella support pole directly to the ground.

When choosing the best base system to anchor your commercial-grade patio umbrella, consider all available options. Particularly windy weather patterns at your installation might require more extreme anchoring methods.

The specific outdoor placement of your umbrella will also determine how potentially exposed it may be to gusting winds. If your umbrella is near a building or sheltering wall, it might not be subjected to severe wind and shearing forces as it would be in a more exposed location. The same can be said of the local terrain; oceanfront umbrellas or those used on breezy plains or gusty mountainous terrain will probably be subjected to more wind effects than in calmer areas.

Of course, always consider the specific wind speed rating (in mph) of your commercial umbrellas. SBF INTERIORS AND OUTDOOR SOLUTIONS LIMITED offers umbrella designs on a scale ranging from under 1 mph winds to upwards of 73 mph or higher. All SBF products are designed to withstand heavy weather conditions.

Fortunately, SBF has expended considerable effort in the development of highly wind-resistant umbrella designs that are both beautiful and functional.

In the end, there are many factors to consider when deciding which Outdoor Umbrella is best suited for your needs.
