Everything you need to know about finding a shade umbrella designer

Outdoor umbrellas will protect you from the harsh Australian sun in the summertime and from the winter rains as well. They come pre-made in all sorts of shapes and sizes, or may be designed by a professional to suit your unique needs.

There are several types of outdoor umbrellas available to you. These include:

• Lightweight small umbrellas that most suited to shading smaller areas such as a courtyard or deck.
• Large courtyard umbrellas that are most suited to shading larger areas such as a patio, courtyard or backyard. They are also easily opened and closed with an unwinding handle, and may either stand alone or shade a complete outdoor area.
• Maximum impact umbrellas, that offer adequate shade for your barbeque or outdoor dining areas. These are a much cheaper, more portable and less permanent alternative to shade sails or pergolas.
• Pool shade umbrellas, which provide good shade from the Australian sun during your afternoon dip. Pool shade umbrellas with side posts have the ability to twist and tilt, allowing them to follow the direction of the sun.

If you decide to have the umbrella custom made, there are many ‘Personal add-ons’ that you may also like to consider:

• Heaters
• Plastic drop down curtaining
• Screen printing
• Air conditioning
