Loved it so much I bought a second one!

About this colour
Introducing ‘Desert Sand’: A Luxurious Neutral Designed for Modern Organic Living
Back on The Block in 2026: Adam & Jolene chose Desert Sand for their pool, which won Pool & Terrace Week, with Courtney & Sev a fraction of a point behind. See the houses.
Also - As Seen in Britt & Taz’s Backyard on The Block!
Meet the Desert Sand Umbrella — the latest special-release from Retro Umbrella Co., made specifically to complement Britt & Taz’s serene, stone-toned palette and modern organic aesthetic on The Block. Now available in extremely limited quantities, this calming neutral tone was made to elevate light exteriors, warm timber finishes, and soft, natural landscaping.
Double-Tiered Design. Distinctive Calm.
With its signature double-tiered canopy and scalloped valances, Desert Sand brings retro elegance and airflow-friendly functionality in one. The iconic layered silhouette not only softens harsh sun but adds sculptural charm to every outdoor setting — from poolside patios to café courtyards.
Built to Endure. Designed to Belong.
Crafted with solution-dyed acrylic, the canopy resists fading and UV damage, even in harsh Australian conditions. The soft stone-beige tone holds its colour and structure season after season — staying rich, grounded, and effortlessly luxurious.
An aluminium frame with stainless steel fixtures ensures maximum durability and rust-resistance, with a smooth quad pulley system for easy use.
Minimal, Adaptable, Timeless.
Desert Sand was created to feel like part of the home — not an afterthought. It pairs beautifully with:
- Travertine or limestone pavers
- Light timber or oak decks
- White or off-white cushioned lounges
- Olive trees and drought-tolerant landscaping
- Soft-toned architectural palettes like Britt & Taz’s Block home
Full Specifications:
- Canopy: 3 m wide, double-tiered, scalloped valance
- Fabric: Solution-dyed acrylic (UV & fade resistant)
- Frame: Aluminium with stainless steel hardware

FAQ
How does it handle wind?
It is wind tested to 60 km/h, and the double-tier top vents air in gusts. Close the umbrella and fit the cover in strong wind, and add the extra weight plate in exposed or coastal spots.
Which base do I need?
The umbrella needs a base that fits a 48mm pole. Our 24.5kg base suits patios, courtyards and sheltered pools. For coastal or exposed spots, add the extra weight plate or your own sandbags or ring weights.
Is it waterproof?
The fabric is waterproof and gives reliable protection from rain. It is designed mainly for sun, so the double-tier structure may let some water through in heavy downpours.
How do I clean it?
Mild soap and water. For tougher marks, use a soft-bristled brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can I leave it out over winter?
We recommend closing it and using the protective cover when it is not in use, to extend its life and for safety.
How do I make a warranty claim?
We offer a 2-year fade-free fabric warranty and 1-year craftsmanship warranty. See warranty details or contact us with your order number and photos.
Can I get replacement parts?
Yes. Contact us with your umbrella colour and the part you need, and we will help you get the right one.
