Portable or Permanent
Weighing over 100kg the Sunset has been designed for fixed installation outdoors, but can be fitted with a weighted base and caster system to re-position your shade. 10 year frame anti rust policy, 5 year structural warranty on the frame & canopy.
Rain or Shine
An architectural grade, high tensile PVC adds strength and style to the canopy.
Purposefully designed for umbrellas, the Sunset’s premium PVC canopy has been pre-tensioned in manufacture to prevent stretching and tearing after continuous use. The fabric's distinctive smooth finish is waterproof, heat reflective, and UV treated, keeping customers dry, cool and sun-safe.
Day or Night
Accessories such as radiant heating and LED lighting can be pre-wired within the umbrella frame to transition your space from day to night. Linking panels and rain diverters can also be installed to channel water away from the waterproof canopy for year round use.

Retractable Canopy
Shade when you want it and sunshine when you don’t?
With our reliable and robust internal gearing system, the umbrella is easily operated via a detachable handle, and safely locked into position, whatever the weather.
Engineer wind rated (EWR) for wind speeds up to 118kph whilst open, you’ll have ample time to retract your umbrella in changing conditions.
Once closed, the Sunset will stand safe and secure in winds up to 148kph, ready for future use.
Recommended for sheltered, light to medium wind zones with occasional high wind exposure, and for high wind zones once retracted.
