During the off-season, the storage and protection of sunshades can be carried out by taking the following measures:
Clean: After using the patio umbrellas, it should be immediately cleaned with clean water to prevent rainwater from corroding the umbrella surface. Especially after use in rainy and snowy weather, it is even more important to clean it in a timely manner.
Air drying: The ribs of sunshades are mostly made of metal materials, and if there is moisture on the umbrella, it will make the ribs easy to rust. Therefore, before storage, the sunshade umbrella should be dried in the sun or placed in a dry and ventilated place to naturally dry, ensuring that there is no moisture on the umbrella before storage.
Stacking neatly: Roll the sunshade umbrella evenly in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and do not fold it randomly to avoid leaving creases on the umbrella surface.
Sealed storage: When purchasing a sunshade, it is usually accompanied by an umbrella bag. When storing, the sunshade should be placed in the umbrella bag to avoid direct contact with moisture in the air.
Avoid heavy object compression: When storing sunshades, do not place heavy objects on them to avoid deformation due to compression. The sunshade should be placed at a high place and removed when in use.
Reasonable placement: You can hang the sunshade umbrella on the balcony or in a ventilated and dry place indoors, avoiding direct sunlight and humid environments.
Attention to service life: The service life of sunshades is generally 2-3 years, and the replacement cycle needs to be shortened in cases of frequent use or harsh usage environments.
In short, the storage and protection of sunshades require us to pay attention to details, maintain a dry, clean, and ventilated state, and use and store them in the correct way, which can extend their service life.
