Among our top-selling products are our 9 market umbrellas. Of these, the wood model 9 market umbrellas with furniture-grade Sunbrella canvases are perhaps the most versatile. They are large enough to provide shade for more than half a dozen people yet they are of the appropriate weight to accessorize just about any outdoor table. Here is a bit more information on 9 market umbrellas.

Structure

Some umbrellas are painted to look like they are made of wood or bamboo. This 9’ market umbrella on the other hand is actually built from authentic Asian hardwood and finished with a medium-tone stain. Lacquer was also applied to improve the durability and make it easier to clean. The umbrella is held together with brass pins which further improve its sturdiness.

Dimensions

The wood market umbrella’s pole is 1.5” in diameter. This width provides adequate durability while still allowing for easy storage. It is also 101” tall. There are eight wooden ribs aligned evenly around the pole. It measures 103” from the tip of one to the tip of another that is on the exact opposite side. While this umbrella is considered nine foot, that number is actually an estimate.

Functionality & Appearance

This 9’ market umbrella is convenient for many reasons. It can easily be opened and closed due to its integral pulley system. The pins that hold it together are brass colored and provide an additional class to this already elegant and functional umbrella. It is also available in many different colors to match or complement any patio. It can even be stylish when non-functional in its matching umbrella cover that doubles as a storage bag. Be mindful that the colors displayed on your computer screen may differ slightly to the actual colors. The brightness and hue settings can further affect this difference. For the best representation, make sure your computer is displaying white as true white.

Where to Put Your 9’ Umbrella

According to many people, their deck or balcony is the ideal place for an umbrella. However, the area of the balcony is subjective. Having a patio that is limited in size can also narrow the selection of umbrellas that are appropriate for your home. Generally speaking, a 12’ x 12’ or larger patio can fit an umbrella of any standard retail size. For a 9’ umbrella, it is recommended that shoppers have at least a 10’ x 10’ space available. If this cannot be done, perhaps consider one of our smaller options. Also consider what precisely you will be covering. Are you providing shade for a particularly large table? If so, you may want to consider an option larger than the 9’ umbrella.

The Canvas

The Sunbrella canvas is 8oz and is treated with 3M Scotchgard. It measures 93” in diameter and is supported by eight wooden ribs. While our umbrella canvases are built to resist wear and tear, they will not last forever. The average life of an umbrella canvas is three to five years, though a well-maintained Sunbrella canvas may exceed this amount. If damage is noticed, it is recommended that umbrella owners purchase a replacement canvas. Our canvases are affordable and they are all treated with 3M Scotchgard. We offer sizes and colors to suit any umbrella found on our site and most others.

Recommended Purchases

The wooden 9’ market umbrella is best displayed with a stand or table. Shoppers should consider the umbrella’s primary use when purchasing one of these items. A stand is suitable for relaxing on a lounge chair with a good book. However, further social activities may require the use of an outdoor table. The 9’ market umbrella looks spectacular when providing shade for a series of midday snacks or an outdoor game of chess. Browse our selection of patio umbrella stands.

Wood vs. Aluminum Umbrellas: Similarities & Differences

Like aluminum 9’ market umbrellas, the pole diameter is 1.5”. From rib tip to opposite rib tip, both the wood and aluminum models measure 103”. However, the measurement across the canvas differs. 9’ wooden umbrella canvases spread 93” while aluminum umbrella canvases are only 91”. The height from the base of the pole to the top of the umbrella also differs. The wooden model stretches 101” inches in height while the aluminum umbrella is one inch shorter. Wood market umbrellas differ from their aluminum counterparts in a number of other ways. Of course, the weight is one of the most noticeable. The wooden models are generally heavier. While the pole and the ribs of the wood market umbrellas are made of the same material, aluminum models feature fiberglass ribs. They also more frequently use crank handles rather than the pulley system in the wooden model. The wood market umbrella is also less expensive and its parts are more easily replaceable. However, a downside to the wooden material is that it does not allow for a built-in tilting function.
