Canopy: The Core Carrier of Sunshade Performance
The canopy is the direct shading component of a sun umbrella. Its material and structural design directly affect the shading rate, durability, and light transmission. Common canopy materials include polyester fiber cloth, Oxford cloth, and PVC coated cloth.

 

Ribs: The Key Framework for Support and Wind Resistance
The ribs are the "skeleton" of the sun umbrella. Their material, number, and layout determine the umbrella's wind resistance and portability. Based on structure, ribs can be divided into cross-spoke, single-spoke, and combined types.

 

Handle (Center Post) and Connectors: The Foundation of Stability
As the support center of the umbrella, the height and diameter of the center post directly affect space utilization and safety. Common center post heights range from 2.5 to 4 meters, adaptable to different scenarios (e.g., 2.5 meters for courtyards, 4 meters for parking lots). Regarding diameter, household umbrellas often use 48-60mm diameter tubes, while industrial-grade umbrellas require diameters of 89mm or higher to handle greater loads.
