The tip of an umbrella is the spike that was originally on all umbrellas but not parasols.
The spike is centred on the outside of the umbrella at the point where all the 'ribs' meet. The purpose was so that when the umbrella was placed in an upright position to dry, IE when the 'tip' was on the floor, the water would not accumulate in the material but run down the 'tip', drying the whole umbrella.

A great tip to get the most out of your umbrella stand is to take down the umbrella stand, along with your patio umbrella, when you are not using them. This will help keep the patio umbrella stand and your patio umbrella safe from damaging winds. When you are ready to use them, simply break them out and enjoy a nice day outside.
