Wood Frame Market Umbrellas

A wood frame market umbrella combines the warm and

elegant look of wood with remarkable durability, while the

anodized aluminum accents add beauty and strength. The

pole and ribs of our wood market umbrella frames are made

from a durable tropical hard wood with long grain that

provides both flexibility and strength to resist windy

conditions. Polymer resin hubs and finial provide for years

of maintenance-free use. Most of our market umbrella poles

will fit any standard 1 1/2" diameter table umbrella hole and

any standard umbrella stand or base.

Aluminum Frame Market Umbrellas

Our aluminum frame market umbrellas provide the strength

and sturdiness you expect from high-grade metal. As with

the wood market umbrellas, most of our poles will fit in

any standard 1 1/2" diameter table umbrella hole and any

standard umbrella stand or base.The term market umbrella

was developed from references to the style of outdoor

umbrellas used for shade in outdoor markets and cafes

throughout Europe. The distinct feature of the market

umbrella design is the absence of hanging valances around

the edges of the shade umbrella. This straight edge gives

the market umbrella a sleek and elegant look. The additional

crown of fabric at the top of the market umbrella is called a

wind vent. This practical design allows for temporary gusts

of wind to escape or vent from underneath the umbrella

cover. It also adds to the unique look of a market umbrella.

Many of our umbrellas have used this feature as a

contrasting element by using a different fabric color for the

umbrella vent. An additional vent, or double vent, may be

added to further distinguish your design, as well as improve

the overall venting capacity of the market umbrella during

gusts of wind. Valances are available in some styles for an

additional fee.
