Below is a guide to the materials used in Tuuci® umbrellas and their best applications. Whether you are outfitting a residential patio or a commercial space, Tuuci® has a solution that combines performance with style. 

1. Frames and Hardware 

Tuuci® frames and hardware are designed for resilience. Each option stands up to the elements and offers unique benefits: 

• Armor-Wall Aluminum: Constructed from marine-grade aluminum, Armor-Wall frames are corrosion-resistant and perfect for coastal environments. 

• Fiberglass: This material is used in certain models for its flexibility and strength, making it suitable for high-wind areas. 

• Dura-TEAK™ and Aluma-TEAK™: These composites mimic the look of wood with the durability of aluminum, offering a traditional aesthetic without compromising on longevity. 

• Sustainable Hardwood: Used in select models, this eco-friendly material is both robust and visually appealing. 

2. Canopy Materials 

The canopy of a Tuuci® umbrella is designed to endure the harshest conditions while providing optimal shade and comfort. 

• Marine-Grade Fabrics: These high-performance, UV-stable fabrics are crafted to resist sun damage and saltwater exposure, making them ideal for sunny patios and beachfront properties. 

3. Fasteners 

All Tuuci® umbrellas feature fasteners made from the highest quality materials to ensure longevity and ease of use. 

• Marine-Grade Stainless Steel: Fasteners made from this material prevent corrosion, ensuring the umbrella remains functional in humid and salty environments. 

4. Applications 

Choosing the right Tuuci® umbrella model depends on your specific needs, whether for dining, lounging, or extensive seating areas. 

• Dining Areas: The Ocean Master Classic 8′ x 12′ Rectangle is perfect for providing ample coverage and protection in dining setups. 

• Lounge Spaces: Ideal for casual lounging, the Ocean Master Classic 7.5′ Square or 11′ Razor offer extensive shade without obstructing the space. 

• Sectionals: For large sectional seating areas, the Ocean Master Max 10′ x 14′ Cantilever provides flexible and extensive shade without needing a central pole. 

5. Upkeep Tips 

Proper care and maintenance of your Tuuci® umbrella will ensure its longevity and continued performance. 

• Regular freshwater rinses, especially in coastal areas, help to extend the life of your Tuuci® umbrella. 

• Weekly inspections for loose screws or broken components are recommended to maintain functionality. 

• During severe weather, it’s advisable to store the umbrellas indoors and remove the canopies to prevent damage.
