Beach Umbrella Pole

Overview

Made by
Supply chain / partners
Materials
Two-piece steel tube with coupling, Aluminium tube, Wooden pole (design option)
Finish options
Powder coat, Anodised aluminium, Bright colour paint

Selection tips

  • Two-piece poles need 80-100 mm of insertion; a short spigot buckles in wet sand where the pole takes side load.
  • Keep the lower tube wall at 0.9 mm or more. The pole is a cantilever in sand, and thin walls dent at the joint first.
  • For coastal use specify hot-dip galvanising or powder coat plus internal rust protection; a plain zinc layer shows white rust in 48-96 h of salt spray.
  • Aluminium does not rust but bends more and costs more; a badly coated steel pole bleeds rust onto the canopy.

Manufacturing process & quality control points

Qinxi in-houseSupply chain / partnersIn-house or supply chain
  1. 1

    Tube cutting and coupling forming

    Supply chain / partners

    The pole is made in two pieces with a coupling so it breaks down for carrying. The coupling is the part that fails on a beach umbrella, so it is formed rather than bought loose.

    Quality control points

    • Length and coupling fit · Tape measure plus manual assembly of the coupling · First article + 1 pc per 2 h
  2. 2

    Hole punching and deburring

    Supply chain / partners

    Holes for the tilt joint and the locking pin are punched and deburred.

    Quality control points

    • Hole position and burr · Fixture check, no burr · First article + 1 pc per 2 h
  3. 3

    Surface finishing

    Supply chain / partners

    Coating is applied by the supply chain. Salt air is the design case for every beach hardware part, so corrosion hours are specified higher than for a garden parasol.

    Quality control points

    • Coating thickness · Thickness gauge per buyer spec · Per batch
    • Corrosion resistance · Neutral salt spray, 5% NaCl, 35 C (ISO 9227 / GB/T 10125), extended hours for coastal use · Per batch
  4. 4

    Straightness check

    Supply chain / partners

    Poles are checked straight before packing; a bowed pole tilts the canopy even with a good tilt joint.

    Quality control points

    • Straightness · Roll on flat plate · First article + 1 pc per 2 h
