Cantilever Umbrellas

Do you need shade but don't have enough room to fit a pole in the centre of your outdoor living space? Cantilever umbrellas provide a clear space underneath the canopy without the need for a centre pole. Ideal for a more more intimate patio or restaurant setting as there are no masts blocking the conversation. The Shadowspec Unity™ is a multi-canopy umbrella which offers  more coverage as it mounts up to 4 canopies off one mast and offers maximum protection from the sun's harmful rays.

The Shadowspec Serenity™ and Shadowspec Unity™ are high quality, strong shade umbrellas that use gas-strut, easy lift technology for easy deployment every time. There are no internal cables, moving parts or crank handles, which can cause ongoing maintenance issues. These two models only take seconds to deploy. They are manufactured from marine-grade aluminium, stainless steel componentry, and are heat treated to maximise structural strength.

Mounting options
A portable cantilever umbrella base allows you to change where the umbrella is located. Move it from the pool to over the spa, or around your outdoor table. The In-ground anchor and Surface Plate are better suited to alfresco dining areas, decks or patios. Read about our Cantilever umbrella wind rating visit our blog.

Chris is a business owner based in the Bay of Plenty. His outdoor space is a quality spot that he can enjoy with his young family but the searing heat of the New Zealand summer was making it hard to enjoy the space for too long. He required a robust, easy to use sun umbrella. The solution to Chris’ problem was to install a Shadowspec Unity™ Quattro umbrella above the in-ground spa pool.
