Sunset
Centre Column Retractable Umbrella
The Sunset retractable umbrella is a versatile all-rounder to cover any scenario, popular with resorts, cafes, and hotels.
Premium materials and classic design combine in a heavy-duty commercial umbrella purpose built to live outdoors.
Sunset Features
Retractable
A proprietary internal gearing system ensures swift & easy operation of the retractable canopy in any weather, Designed for commercial use, the Sunset’s operating system can also be motorised, effortlessly mobilising multiple umbrellas via a single remote.
Expansive or Compact

Sheltered or Exposed
The Sunset is engineered to withstand winds up to 118kph to suit most commercial environments. Once closed and secured the umbrella is rated for winds up to 148kph, standing safe and secure in the harshest weather.
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.
Motorised Retractable
With the touch of a button, the Sunset Motorised Retractable Umbrella opens smoothly and silently, programmed to stop at the moment of correct tension. Numerous umbrellas can be programmed into one single remote control, so with a touch of a single button, a number of umbrellas can be opened or retracted at once.
