Wooden Patio Umbrellas

Patio umbrellas come in a wide variety of styles and are generally made of durable materials that can withstand the elements. You will usually have to choose between patio umbrellas that are made of aluminum or wood as those are the prevelant materials used for umbrellas.

Either one is capable of handling varying weather conditions so it often becomes more an issue of style and the main difference between the two types is the method of how they operate. A patio umbrella with a wooden frame typically uses a sort of pulley system to open, which can limit the number of positions and rotating capabilities.

When it comes to the tilt of patio umbrellas, there are usually three different options: collar tilt, crank tilt, and push button tilt. The collar tilt is normally the most popular for a patio umbrella because of its simplicity.

All you do is rotate the collar on the patio umbrella frame to the desired tilt position and you're done. With the crank tilt, you use a crank to position the patio umbrella and the push button tilt requires you to hold the button and make the desired adjustments which can be more cumbersome.

Regardless of which option you go with, a wooden patio umbrella is sure to add style and protection for your outdoor living are for many years to come.
