What is the difference between a sunshade and an umbrella?
1 Answer
The difference between a sunshade and an umbrella comes down to portability. An umbrella has protective fabric mounted on a frame with a mechanism that allows you to open and close it. Although sizes vary, you can generally place a sun umbrella in different places, such as in an opening in an outdoor dining table or in a stand. Sunshades attach to parts of a home or another structure. For example, you may mount one on a wall, roof or window. Although some sunshades can be adjusted to control the amount of shade, moving them from one place to another requires uninstalling them. Since this process can be time-consuming, most people use sunshades only in one location. Shop a wide range of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
