FAQs
What wind strength can the Sunset umbrellas handle?
The Sunset centre-column retractable umbrella has engineered wind rating from 118km/h up to 148km/h. That’s W31 up to W41. The Sunset can be left up most of the time. If you are facing a significant weather event, then we recommend you retract them. The longevity of the canopy is best when it is left up, at the appropriate tension.
Can you do canopy branding?
Yes we do branding on our commercial range. Once you have selected your canopy size and shade, share with us your design or logo, and we can arrange a digital printing quote
