How to identify the quality of umbrellas

The weather in midsummer always alternates between torrential rain and bright sunshine. When you go out, you have to prepare an umbrella for shelter from the rain or sun. However, as a must, do you know how to buy a high-quality umbrella for yourself?

1. Look at the fabric of the umbrella surface; a high-quality umbrella must use high-quality fabrics. If you want to buy an umbrella, you can try to choose a smoother umbrella surface fabric, because smooth fabrics are better at preventing rain. If you are buying a parasol, you can choose the fabric with silver glue or black glue on the umbrella surface, because the umbrella surface is covered with a layer of silver glue or black glue, which can effectively prevent ultraviolet rays.

2. Look at the material of the umbrella top; the material of the umbrella top is generally plastic or metal. These two materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. The plastic umbrella top is easy to crack after long-term sunlight, and the metal is easy to rust if it is not kept dry. But when buying an umbrella, it is recommended to choose a plastic umbrella top, because the plastic umbrella top can effectively prevent electricity in rainy days and can play a good role in protecting human safety. At the same time, when purchasing a one-piece plastic umbrella top, you can use your fingers to turn it slightly. If the umbrella top can rotate, it means that the adhesion is not good and it is easy to fall off. It is best not to buy such an umbrella.

3. Look at the skeleton of the umbrella; the quality of an umbrella is mostly determined by the quality of the umbrella bone. At present, most umbrellas on the market have 6 to 24 ribs. The more ribs, the higher the wind resistance. If there is a thinner and elastic wire support between the ribs, the umbrella will be more stable. If you buy a sunshade, be sure to choose a lighter umbrella stand, because the sunshade is used on sunny days, and the requirements for wind resistance are not high, so the light umbrella stand is very convenient to use and carry; if you buy an umbrella , try to avoid choosing an iron umbrella stand, because it is easy to rust if you don’t pay attention to maintenance after using it in rainy days, so try to choose those fiber or aluminum alloy umbrella stands. windproof effect. In addition, when looking at the ribs, you can gently shake one of the ribs with your fingers to confirm whether it is firm.

4. Look at the workmanship of the umbrella; good-quality umbrellas are very fine in workmanship. Not only are the edges of each umbrella made very finely, there are no redundant threads, and the connection between the pieces is also seamless, and the needles are fine. The line is tough. Inferior umbrellas have sparse needles and exposed threads.

5. Test the wind resistance of the umbrella; when purchasing an umbrella, you can open the umbrella, and then pull it back hard to see if the umbrella will bloom, and if it blooms, whether it can return to its original shape. If the umbrella does not bloom or quickly recovers after blooming, it means that the umbrella has strong wind resistance and is a high-quality umbrella.

6. Measure the waterproofness of the umbrella. If it is raining when you are buying an umbrella, you can pour a little rainwater on the umbrella and observe the raindrops on the umbrella. If it rolls down immediately or small water droplets appear on the umbrella surface, it means that the waterproof coating is good. If it is drenched in water, the umbrella will seep, and the water resistance will be poor.
