5 Key Benefits of Owning a Smart Patio Umbrella

As technology continues to evolve and permeate every aspect of our lives, even the humble umbrella has been given a makeover. 

Smart umbrellas are an innovative outdoor accessory that combines the traditional functionality of providing shade with modern technological features. Here are some of the benefits of owning one for yourself!

1. Ease Of Use & Convenience

Aside from superior protection from the sun, the most apparent benefit of any smart umbrella is the enhanced comfort and convenience it offers. 

For one, our smart umbrellas come with features like automatic opening and closing mechanisms, allowing you to do so with a simple button press. 

This means you no longer have to struggle to manually open or adjust your umbrella, making your outdoor experience much more enjoyable.

2. Durability & Weatherproof Features

Smart patio umbrellas, such as the ones here at Above, come with built-in sensors that can detect changes in wind speed. 

With these, when wind speed reaches a certain level, the umbrella will automatically close to prevent damage to the canopy or other components. 

This also helps the user stay safe, as this can prevent your umbrella from flipping inside out or becoming displaced. However, compared to their counterparts, smart umbrellas are inherently more durable in all aspects.

3. Solar Power

One of the most innovative features of smart patio umbrellas is harnessing the power of the sun and taking advantage of solar energy.

These umbrellas have solar panels embedded in their fabric, which absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity, which helps power its other built-in features, such as motors and LED lights.

Not only that, but having a solar panel on your smart umbrella is energy efficient, can help cut costs on your electricity bill, and is simply better for the environment.

4. Integrated Lighting

As mentioned before, smart umbrellas often come with LED lighting that will keep your patio illuminated long after the sun sets.

Imagine enjoying a family get-together or a romantic dinner under your patio umbrella with ambient lighting and your favorite music playing in the background. 

This is possible with Above’s umbrellas, so you’ll never have to stop enjoying the outdoors once it gets dark!

5. Improved Aesthetics & Accommodation

Smart patio umbrellas come in sleek, modern designs and different sizes and colors, allowing you to choose one that complements your outdoor décor and step up the aesthetic appeal of your patio.

Above’s smart umbrellas made from Sunbrella fabric come in spectrum cherry, dove, and indigo, and our Pinnacle series coming in 2024 will also be available in white, so you’re bound to find a color that suits you.

In addition to colors, you can also find smart umbrellas in different sizes to accommodate varying group sizes. For instance, our popular Height series ones come in 9-foot and 11-foot versions, which will keep a group of 4 to 6 covered for the former and 8 for the latter.
