We’ve been in this business for over 25 years and have learned a thing or two about selling patio umbrellas online. One of our biggest challenges lies in how best represent the hundreds of fabrics/finishes options we offer.
The way a fabric or frame color or texture will present can be altered significantly by monitor display settings on your device and sunlight in an outdoor setting. Use this color description chart for reference.
Note:
Our descriptions are subjective. You might describe them differently. We only use images taken from photographs of the actual product and try our best to represent them accurately. Feel free to contact our buyer directly for more detail: Mark Taylor @ 480-600-1049 (cell). Do you want an texted image of the material you are considering sent to your cell phone? Text Mark with your image request.
Our umbrella replacement canopies are not compatible with cantilever/offset style umbrellas.
Fabric choices:
- Poly canvas has long been the most popular fabric choice due its low price point. Our 300 gram/600 denier poly canvas materials are 2x the thickness of most competitors. Poly canvas fabric choices do not include a fade warranty. Fading of poly canvas fabrics will vary according to color, your locale and whether the umbrella is left out and open on a full-time basis.
- Protexture is a solution-dyed acrylic material with a fade-resistant treatment that locks in pigment for at least 3 years. Protexture is a great choice for customers in the market for a darker color and/or those who do not want to pay Sunbrella’s premium price. In general, Protexture gets 80% of Sunbrella’s fade resistant benefit at 1/3 the cost.
- Sunbrella® has long been the industry’s leading material for outdoor. Sunbrella fabrics are available in nearly all conceivable colors and grades. Our online prices for Sunbrella replacement canopies cover the Sunbrella furniture grade 5400 series. We are a Sunbrella® dealer. Sunbrella® fabrics typically cost 3-4x more than the other options, but the fade-resistant longevity actually makes Sunbrella® the most economical choice over the long run.
