Questions from venues.

Anything else about your space? Send an enquiry and we'll help you plan it.

Do you supply venues and trade?

Yes. Cafés, hotels, beach clubs and event planners order multiple umbrellas from us. Send a trade enquiry and we will come back with options.

Do I need a base?

Yes. Bases are sold separately, and every umbrella needs a properly weighted one. Our 24.5kg octagonal base is powder-coated steel, sized for the 48mm pole and shaped to match the 8-panel canopy. For open or exposed spots, add the extra weight plate on top.

How long does delivery take?

Orders placed before 1pm Sydney time ship the next business day. Standard delivery with Aramex is free Australia-wide and prices include tax. Need it sooner? Express with FedEx is $39 per item at checkout.

What if it isn't right?

You have 30 days to return unused items, and we send a prepaid return label.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. PayPal Pay in 4 splits orders up to $2,000 into four interest-free payments: 4 × $374.75 for an umbrella, or 4 × $449.50 with the base. Orders over $2,000 can be paid in full at checkout.

What should I check before buying any umbrella?

Six things: a tested UV rating (ours is UVE 99.0%, tested and certified by ARPANSA), solution-dyed acrylic fabric, a 3m double-tier canopy, a powder-coated aluminium 48mm pole with pulley, wind testing (ours is wind-tunnel tested to 60km/h on the 24.5kg base) and a fade warranty in writing (ours is two years).

What wind can it handle?

It is wind-tunnel tested to 60km/h on the 24.5kg base. As with any market umbrella, close it when strong wind is forecast, and use the extra weight plate in open or exposed spots.

What if I need a replacement part?

Contact us with your model and the part, and we will get you the right component.
