The Umbrella Pole: Metal or wooden or plastic?
The most familiar pole materials in the market today are wooden ormetal. Some other umbrella poles are made of fiberglass, steel,plastic or resin composite types.

Wooden poles use a rope pulley system. These poles do not tilt,where as most metal patio umbrellas tilt and have cranks, but thevery mechanisms that allow them to crank open, close and tilt canbe the cause for them to break easily. Wooden poles break easily ifthe area is too breezy for it to withstand for long; so does theplastic ones.

Wooden poles usually swells in the stand when left out in thelightest of rain showers. This swelling will warp the wood andchances are that you will never be able to remove a wooden stubfrom a stand. This metal poles rust inside stands. When the wateroverflows, the rust stains the deck and the stand. Therefore alwaysbuy a metal stand and drill two holes on either side of the tubethat holds the pole. This will help the water to escape and bothsituations are avoided. In short buy a durable metallic poles thatcan withstand the heavy rainfall and even the mad wind.
