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.

Canopy Options

Skyspan offers three canopy options so you only pay for the performance and benefits that you actually need.

Sunset

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.

Fixed Canopy

Horizon

Fixed Canopy

Need year round shelter, or not wanting the task of retracting your shade?

The Horizon fixed canopy option removes the cost of the retraction system, locking the umbrella permanently open without compromising safety and performance in harsh weather.

The Horizon canopy is engineer wind rated (EWR) and certified for wind speeds up to 118kph.

 

Recommended for sheltered, light to medium wind zones with occasional high wind exposure.

Extreme Weather

Typhoon

Extreme Weather Canopy

The clear choice for any coastal, wind prone, or exposed environments.

Solid to translucent canopy options allow you to choose the appropriate level of light transmission from full block out to moderately diffused light to suit your levels of sun exposure.

 

Recommended for medium, high and very high wind zones.
