What materials are used for your outdoor umbrellas?

Frame and canopy materials

Frames use powder-coated aluminium or galvanised and powder-coated steel, chosen by model and wind requirement. Aluminium keeps the umbrella light and corrosion-resistant for coastal sites; steel adds mass and stiffness for large cantilevers.

Fabric grades

Canopies use solution-dyed acrylic with a 50+ UV rating, mould-resistant finish, and colourfastness rated to 1000+ fade hours. We also offer recycled and PVC-free options on request. All stitching uses UV-stable thread and reinforced stress points at the rib tips and hub.

Hardware and finishes

Moving parts use stainless or zinc-plated hardware. The powder-coat finish is applied in a controlled line with pre-treatment so the colour holds up in sun, salt, and rain across commercial seasons.

All materials are selected for the commercial outdoor cycle of sun, rain, and salt, and we confirm the exact build per model on the datasheet so buyers can match the specification to the site.
