Will the frame of the umbrella rust?
Most of the Beachkit beach umbrellas are made with an anodised aluminium frame which will not rust. The Steel frames are powdercoated which will provide rust resistance.

UPF means Ultraviolet Protection Factor. It is a numerical rating given to the umbrellas to indicate how effectively it blocks harmful UV rays. A UPF50+ rating blocks 98% of UV rays which is the highest rating available.

These umbrellas must not be used in the wind range from moderate breezes to hurricane force winds as they could fail.
