+ Very stable in wind. The frame is made of 6mm fiberglass and also keeps more violent gusts on the beach without prejudice booth. We had on the Costa Brava gusts to about wind force 6, simple screens had already been closed down or have already reported significant "deformations" on.
+ Relatively thick fabric with 180g per square meter. As fabric Dralon is used, which is intended to be more durable than traditional polyester fabrics.
+ The seams are very well made.
+ The screen frame is made of 10 rods, conventional umbrellas have only 8 linkage here, so that does not thereby greater stability.
+ The ends of the rods of the screen frame are inserted into about 2 cm long plastic bags. Our old screen was sewn at the end directly to the fabric, which has led to the fact that after some time the substance at stressed points ran away there, or the thread has come loose. Here you can no longer happen. The plastic bags are solid sewn to the fabric.
+ Each rod of the frame is additionally fastened in the center with a Velcro on the fabric. Our old screen was sewn here with a thin thread directly on the fabric. After a short time the attachment were uprooted.
+ The main bar of the screen is made of silver-colored stainless steel. The rod is equipped with 27/30 mm larger dimensions than usual. For simple screens this rod is 25/27 mm and painted white. By the stronger rod but the use of a lawn mandrel may be restricted (in our lawn spike fit but barely). You check this before.
+ The dunklerern colors have a sun protection factor of 50.
o Color comes across as pale on the product photo set on Amazon. On the manufacturer's website, a realistic impression of the fabric color is imparted.
- Relatively high price. The cheaper model "Sylt" is distinguished by the simple substance and therefore represents an alternative that you can certainly consider. However, the sun protection factor is then slightly lower, but this is, in practice, probably only a theoretical disadvantage.
Overall, a strong buy recommendation for this high quality product. On the beach we use no other umbrella more.
