Wind ratings DO NOT form part of, nor fall under, any Frankford Umbrellas warranties. Wind ratings are intended as a guide to the relative strength of the umbrellas only and are tested at their optimal positions. Umbrellas with any degree of tilt should not follow the below wind ratings. Wind can be extremely variable, as it depends on the surroundings, elevation, angle of gusts, etc. In any high-wind or sudden extreme weather conditions, all umbrellas should be closed and secured immediately, regardless of size, weight or base weight, and never be left unattended in the open position. This will reduce the risk of damage to your umbrella, furniture, and property.
Frankford can recommend specific bases and anchoring systems for specific umbrella types. However, these are only recommended weights, as different environments may require different base options. Umbrellas must be secured to an umbrella base.
Please contact us for assistance in choosing the proper umbrella base or anchoring system. In the event Frankford shade products are left open and/or unattended in harsh weather conditions, our customer service department is here to help you and promptly assist with parts for repairs. Our shade products offer modular, self-repairable components, which allow customers to service the umbrellas to keep them in perfect working condition.
