Beach Umbrellas - The Fun Splash of Colors

It is ironical how we want to go to the beaches for the perfect tans, yet fear the sun's utmost potential of destroying our skin and hair. So, we are trying to find the solutions to keep the harmful effects of the sun at their minimal.

One of the basic accessories, when looking for ways to protect oneself from the wrath of the sun rays is getting a pretty beach umbrella. Now only do these adorable accessories make the trip more colorful but also, more enjoyable due to the simplicity of the comfort they provide.

When buying the b-umbrellas there are certain guidelines to follow, which revolve around purchasing the light weight umbrellas to ensure ease of transporting.

Also, the umbrella being bought for the purpose of protection from sun at the beach should have a larger diameter to ascertain maximum shadiness. This however, does not mean that it should be so big that it can't fit the car. A thorough search for the apt size of the beach umbrella is very important.

A perfect size for the umbrellas is six feet in diameter. Although the beach umbrellas for nine feet are also available yet, they are difficult to fit in small or normal sized cars because of their relatively large size.

The most important accessory to the umbrella will be an anchor, which holds the beach umbrella pole, firmly into the sand. One can also opt for the hooks for the same purpose. Also, the hook can be used for hanging towels etc.

Most of the times, hinged umbrellas can be found easily in the shops, which ensure providing lasting shade in the sun; if one can afford to find these umbrellas it would be a helpful feature for shadiness during their vacation.

Another efficient feature introduced in the beach umbrellas is the mesh panel, which allows the wind to pass through thus, releasing the pressure of the beach umbrella being swept away with the wind.

When buying umbrellas look out for the colors that are not dark, rather, opt for the lighter shades, which have the ability of reflecting back the light and the heat of the sun. Neon colors also make a good choice, but select the colors, which are not too gaudy for the other individuals' eyes.

For most of umbrellas the canopy is manufactured from the cotton based or polyester based fabric. In other cases it might the combination of these two, offering a thickness up to 300 deniers or more.

The higher this thickness is the more will be the protection offered by the umbrella against heat and light. This also means that the umbrella will be heavier to carry. The skeleton of the beach umbrellas should ideally be manufactured from fiberglass or steel.
