Therefore, the multi-function double-canopy umbrella: a) Can function as a water collector to collect rain water when used upside down in the directions of arrows 142 and 143 (see FIG. 16A); b) Can function as a wind blocker to block wind (see FIG. 20D); c) Can function as a privacy screen to provide privacy (see FIG. 19F); d) Can function as a awning to angledly block rain and sun beams (see FIG. 20B); e) Can function as a canopy to vertically block rain and sun beams (see FIG. 20F); f) Can function as a wind redirector to redirect wind in and out of canopy in the directions of arrows 144, 145, 146, 147, and 148 (see FIG. 16B, FIG. 16C, and FIG. 16D); and g) Can function as a wind resistor to protect the canopy from blowing when corners are attached to ground with ropes and stakes in the direction of arrow 149 (see FIG. 16D). 7) It is yet another object of the new invention to provide a multi-function double-canopy umbrella, having multi-rib-connecting cores 134a. Therefore, the multi-function double-canopy umbrella: a) Can allow manufacturers to divide long ribs into shorter first ring-canopy-supporting ribs 132 and shorter second ring-canopy-supporting ribs 133 to reduce the length and volume of the shipping package of the multi-function double-canopy umbrella in a shipping container to save money from expensive shipping costs (see FIG. 1A (Prior Art) and FIG. 1B); and b) Can connect first ring-canopy-supporting ribs 132 to second ring-canopy-supporting ribs 133, to provide strength and structure to the multi-function double-canopy umbrella (see FIG. 10). 8) It is even still yet another object of the new invention to provide a multi-function double-canopy umbrella, having rib-length-adjusting holes 134b. Therefore, the multi-function double-canopy umbrella: Can adjust first ring-canopy-supporting ribs 132, second ring-canopy-supporting ribs 133, and multi-rib-connecting inner cores 134a to adjust first ring-canopy-supporting ribs 132 and second ring-canopy-supporting ribs 133 to different lengths, and to adjust ring canopy 137 to multiple different sizes (see FIG. 10). 9) It is still further yet another object of the new invention to provide a multi-function double-canopy umbrella, having ring canopy 137. Therefore, the multi-function double-canopy umbrella: a) Can function as a water collector to collect rain water when used upside down in the directions of arrows 142 and 143 (see FIG. 16A); b) Can function as a wind blocker to block wind (see FIG. 20D); c) Can function as a privacy screen to provide privacy (see FIG. 19F); d) Can function as an awning to angledly block rain and sun beams (see FIG. 20B); e) Can function as a canopy to vertically block rain and sun beams (see FIG. 20F); f) Can function as a wind redirector to redirect wind in and out of canopy in the directions of arrows 144, 145, 146, 147, and 148 (see FIG. 16B, FIG. 16C, and FIG. 16D); and g) Can function as a wind resistor to protect the canopy from blowing when corners are attached to ground with ropes and stakes in the direction of arrow 149 (see FIG. 16D). 10) It is even still further yet another object of the new invention to provide a multi-function double-canopy umbrella, having canopy-size-adjusting flaps 139. Therefore, the multi-function double-canopy umbrella: Can adjustably be attached to first ring-canopy-supporting ribs 132, respectively to adjust ring canopy 137 to multiple different sizes (see FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B). 11) It is even further yet still another object of the new invention to provide a multi-function double-canopy umbrella, having canopy-size-adjusting holes 140. Therefore, the multi-function double-canopy umbrella: Can adjust first ring-canopy-supporting ribs 132 and canopy-size-adjusting flaps 139 to adjust ring canopy 137 to multiple different sizes (see FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B).
