Choosing the best sport umbrella tent to buy all depends on your taste and preferences because these umbrellas come in all shapes and sizes.
However, you must choose a sportbrella that will serve the purpose and satisfy your needs.
Other factors to consider before buying a sport umbrella tent include;
Size:Most beach umbrellas are 5 to 8 inches in diameter and this can make the difference between covering one person and five people.
If you have a family or enjoy beach time with your friends, you might want to buy a big sport umbrella but if you are a loner, a 5 inch diameter umbrella will suffice.
Protection:The main purpose of a beach umbrella is to protect you from UV rays and rain. This means the best umbrella should be made of a fabric that is good at deflecting sunlight and preferably with UPF 50+.
The fabric should not allow sun rays or heat to pass through and it should be water repellent in case of rain.
Durable Construction:Beach umbrellas go through a lot of force from wind, sun and being used so many times.
The best sportbrella should be able to withstand strong wind and being misused so the construction must be high quality.
Having strong poles connected well to a strong fabric is a good start to ensuring durability but so is having good venting system to ensure the umbrella doesn't turn inside out when strong wind blows.
Accessories:As much as a simple umbrella with good fabric is enough to protect you from the elements, having extra accessories on the umbrella or tent make it that much more comfortable and worth the money.
These accessories include pockets, stakes, side flaps and zippered windows for ventilation.
Conclusion:Once you find a great sport umbrella tent, it's important to ensure you use it accordingly and store it away from sunlight or water to extend its lifespan.
The umbrella should also not be a replacement for sunscreen, shades and a beach hat.
