In addition to the type of umbrella, you can also find different materials for making patio umbrella stands. Unlike golf umbrellas, patio umbrellas are made of more special and diverse materials. Below are some of the material options available for the frame.

Aluminum

Aluminum frames are generally lightweight and very durable, so you can keep them at home and can withstand strong winds. This material is great for resisting rust or weather damage.

Wooden

Wood options usually only include wood types that can withstand weather changes and other exotic stimuli. These frames are often coated with oil or other stains to protect them from damage. But these frames are easily damaged by strong winds.

Glass Fiber

Fiberglass is one of the lightest and most damage-resistant materials. Since these umbrella stands are very flexible, they are not easily damaged.

Most of the time, umbrellas have a hook or straight handles, but there are many other styles available. The full list of different handles includes C-Handle, Round, Shaped, and Straight.

The C-handle is very light and can be hung on a shelf in your wardrobe. It also fits easily and comfortably on your arm if you want to go hands-free.

Round handles are usually smaller and fit easily in the palm of your hand. They are also used to adjust the height of the umbrella.

There are still shops, mostly in Europe, that sell handcrafted umbrellas with unique handles. You’ll also see plastic versions in the form of cartoon characters on children’s umbrellas.

Umbrellas with straight handles are a great option if you want to eliminate excess space. It's easiest to store, especially if the umbrella is foldable or has a carrying case.
