A one-piece pole makes the FiberBuilt Bambusa 9 ft. Contract Patio Umbrella a great choice for commercial use. The pole measures 1.5-inches in diameter and is made with heavy duty aluminum cores and a protective, textured fiberglass coating for excellent durability. Poles and finials have an ultra-durable finish that features the look and feel of real bamboo, and includes hand-finished culms and raised notches for an authentic look. Even the finial is designed to look like the raw end of a bamboo pole. Sunbrella fabric makes up the umbrella shade, providing superior UV protection and offered in a huge range of colors. Flexible fiberglass ribs won't break in high winds and they feature a Teak finish so they blend well with the pole. The solid wood hub is 3.5-inches diameter by 5-inches high and features stainless steel hardware. Additional features include molded nylon joints and end tips, single, sewn-in vent, storage ties.
About Sunbrella Fabric
Sunbrella fabric is water-repellant. If kept dry, it will not support the growth of mildew as natural fiber will. Depending on depth of color, Sunbrella fabrics provide up to 98% UV protection. Whites and lighter colored fabrics provide less protection than darker fabrics. This protective factor is inherent to the product and will not diminish through use or exposure to the sun.
