FAQs
What wind strength can the Vista cantilever umbrellas handle?
The Vista cantilever umbrella has an engineered wind rating from 118km/h up to 148km/h. That’s W31 up to W41. This umbrella 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
