Perfect for commercial use, the FiberBuilt Guadua 9 ft. Contract Patio Umbrella is built of top-quality, durable materials and designed to withstand Mother Nature. The umbrella shade is made of Sunbrella fabric which is extremely durable and is water and UV resistant. Flexible fiberglass ribs in a Teak finish support the Sunbrella shade and they're designed to flex and bend in high winds instead of breaking or snapping. A solid wood hub with stainless steel hardware measures 4.5-inches diameter and 6-inches high. Made of heavy-duty aluminum cores, the 2-inch diameter, one-piece pole has a protective, textured fiberglass coating for excellent durability. This finish has the look and feel of real bamboo and features hand-finished culms and raised nodes. Even the finial is designed to look like the raw edge of a bamboo pole. Additional features include molded nylon joints and end tips, single, sewn-in vent, storage ties and a push up and pin lift system.
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.
