Universal umbrella with UV protection

[queen of spades]

I am looking for a tractor umbrella with uv protection. The umbrellas I've found on Ebay do not have this woven into the umbrella fabric, so while I'm sitting in the "shade" my skin still burns. I burn very easy, and on hot days it is hard to keep working and putting on greasy sunblocker, especially when it is dusty.

Anyone know of a good quality umbrella with UV protection?

why an umbrella and not just a hard top.

I picked up a busted fiberglass hard top from a local golf cart place for $10. Dont have it installed yet but its on the list...

I'd go with a good canopy. My umbrella's frame got bent up from the wind catching it.

I don't want a hard top since I have to take off the top half of the roll bar to park under the shelter.

You may want to check into the tuff tops - they are easily removed but Im not sure how their fabric would protect from UV light - IIRC the price is between the cost of the umbrella and a fiberglass top

good luck

I had that same problem with the low door height. At first I modified the umbrella mount to make the long tube easily removable as it stuck out too far back with the ROPS folded down.

Eventually I got tired of mounting and removing the umbrella and folding the ROPS up and down, that I raised the garage doors to accommodate a raised ROPS and canopy. My truck is happier too with the added headroom.

If you were in the Denver, Colorado, I'd be happy to sell you my $100 umbrella for $20; but it needs a new frame from FEMCO that should still be available.
