Originally the umbrella cover was used by merchants who sell products in the market. The look and style of the market umbrella is so appealing with colorful designs and fashion, people started using it on their home in the patio or garden. It is fashion to have one of them in your home in the garden where you can sit on the lounge chair to relax and for taking a nap. The period for which an umbrella will be durable depends squarely on the factor of usage. In case you prefer to use them on outdoors naturally it gets wear and tear easily by hot sun and heavy fall and you will have to change the canvas frequently. If you are using it indoors in the backyard then it becomes more durable and you can expect longstanding usage with single canvas.
Remember one thing while using patio umbrellas the sunlight will be protected by them only on certain parts of daylight and it may fall directly on you depending on the inclination of the angle. Do not believe on the words of advertisers who would say it offers you complete protection from sunlight. Unlike beach umbrella which has a single ruffle on the edges, patio umbrellas have small inclined angle between the pole on which it rests and the corner of the outer cover. This feature of the umbrella is meant for giving support on windy seasons.
The umbrella covers are available in all colors and ensure maximum visibility. Usually they use bright colors for the fabric to attract the customer on the crowd. You can choose any color of your choice like bright red, green or yellow for the canvas. The umbrellas sold on the market for home usage are made of neutral colors such as khaki and light yellow. While selecting the canvas ensure that is of good quality to withstand pressure against wind and rain. You need to have a sewing machine and few pins, and ripper at home for constructing umbrella.
Before beginning the process, remove the old awning from the umbrella. Wash the canvas which you purchased from the stores to remove any dust particles and impurities. Using seam ripper now cut down the seams of the old canopy from the umbrella. Now press the new canvas nicely for having flat look. Next pin the pieces above the new canvas. Further stitch the new canvas and the pieces together for getting good shade. Fix this new canvas on the pole of market umbrella for getting good shade.
