A Great Way to Beat the Heat with Wall Mounted Patio Umbrellas

Summer is a great time to lounge outdoors, but the heat of the sun can become unbearable—especially if you remain outside for too long. It makes perfect sense to invest in an outdoor umbrella that can provide you with sufficient shade and comfort on a hot, summer day. If your patio lacks space or there are ground fixing restrictions, you can opt for wall-mounted cantilever umbrellas which can help you maximize the available space. Suppliers of quality outdoor umbrellas should include a selection of wall mounted cantilever patio umbrellas that can rotate up to 180 degrees, allowing you to easily adjust the position of the shade to effortlessly beat the heat.

Wall mounted patio umbrellas can be practical for any outdoor area with minimal space. Because of their design, they can easily be mounted, not just on the wall, but on posts, a pillar, or a beam. There is no pole to get in your way, allowing you to make use of all the floor space in your patio. Some wall mounted patio umbrellas are compact and can be removed from the wall mounting so you can easily relocate it to another wall mounting, positioned elsewhere. These types of patio umbrella models will likely come with a telescopic arm that can extend from 4'7” to 5'1”. Likewise, they can be tilted up to 10 degrees, so you can easily adjust the angle of the shade to accommodate the position of the sun, providing ample shade even if the sun is low in the sky.

Larger wall mounted patio umbrellas are designed with a single sliding movement system for easy opening and closing. They also have multiple locking positions to keep the canopy in place, which is an important feature if you want to rotate the umbrella for maximum sun protection during the day. High-quality wall mounted patio umbrellas are rated UPF 50+ to protect you from the harmful effects of UV exposure from the sun. The canopies should be made of 100 percent solution-dyed acrylic fabric that is color fast, water resistant, and durable.
