Cantilever Umbrellas

Cantilever Umbrellas

When it comes to outdoor gatherings, the right shade can make all the difference. Whether you're lounging by the pool, hosting a backyard barbecue, or simply enjoying a refreshing drink on your patio, there's no better way to beat the heat than a cantilever umbrella. Suspended with ethereal grace, its cantilevered structure eliminates the need for a central pole, offering an unobstructed panorama beneath its expansive canopy. This design not only enhances visual appeal but also ensures maximum utility in terms of space utilization and flexibility. Several offset patio umbrellas can completely rotate 360°, offering expanded and optimal sunshade coverage without the need to move them. 

Versatility is at the core of our collection, as these cantilever umbrellas boast effortless tilt and rotation mechanisms, allowing you to customize the shade according to the sun's position. Constructed from high-end, premium materials, our umbrellas are built to withstand the rigors of outdoor environments, featuring robust frames and weather-resistant fabrics that resist fading and wear.

Why Choose a Cantilever Umbrella?

With flexible positioning, Cantilever umbrellas offer you optimal sun protection without compromising style. Here’s some great benefits of owning a cantilever umbrella:

• Optimal Shade: Cantilever umbrellas provide extensive coverage, ensuring a larger shaded area compared to traditional center-pole umbrellas. This allows you to create comfortable outdoor spaces without obstruction.

• Versatility:  All of the cantilever umbrellas we carry feature an adjustable design, allowing you to effortlessly tilt, rotate, and adjust the height for versatile shading throughout the day. Customize the angle with ease, so that you can tailor your outdoor experience to changing sun positions, ensuring comfort and relaxation at any time.

• Effortless Elegance: Our luxury cantilever umbrellas add a touch of sophistication to your space, seamlessly blending style and shade, so that your surroundings exude sophistication.

• Enhanced Durability: Constructed with robust materials, our umbrellas are designed to withstand various weather conditions, ensuring long-lasting use and protection.

10 Things to Consider When Buying

With various styles, sizes, and features available in the market, choosing the right cantilever umbrella can be overwhelming. Patio Pelican will walk you through the essential factors to consider when selecting a cantilever umbrella to ensure you make an informed decision.

1. Canopy UV Rating

Look for umbrellas with high UV protection ratings to shield against harmful sun rays. A higher UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) will offer you better protection.

2. Waterproof Rating

Opt for umbrellas with waterproof canopies or those treated with water-resistant coatings to keep you dry during unexpected rain showers.

3. Size Matters

Consider the size of the umbrella and the area you want to cover. With a diverse range of sizes available, you can choose the perfect umbrella to match the dimensions of your outdoor space. This ensures that you get optimal coverage, whether you're looking to shade a cozy reading nook or provide shelter for a large dining area.

4. Material and Quality

The material of the canopy is typically made from either polyester or acrylic fabric. Polyester is a less expensive option, but it is not as durable or fade-resistant as acrylic. Acrylic is a higher-quality option that is more fade-resistant and durable.

5. Base and Stand

The base should be heavy enough to keep the umbrella stable in windy conditions, and it should be made from materials that are weather-resistant. The stand should be sturdy and easy to adjust so that you can tilt the umbrella to get the right angle of shade.

6. Warranty and Support

Check for warranties and after-sales support offered with your purchase. Whether you need assistance with product troubleshooting or general inquiries, Patio Pelican’s dedicated customer support team is here to provide timely and effective solutions so that you can have a seamless and enjoyable experience with our products.

7. Installation Guidance

Many of our umbrellas come with easy-to-follow installation instructions, but a professional setup may be preferable for larger or more complex models (see no. 9 below).

8. Accessories

Enhance your umbrella with compatible accessories like protective covers, lights, or weight bases for added stability in windy conditions.

10. Ease of Use and Maintenance

Look for an umbrella that is easy to open and close, and that has a smooth tilting mechanism so you can easily adjust the angle effortlessly for optimal shade throughout the day. Additionally, consider the maintenance requirements of the umbrella. Look for a canopy material that is easy to clean and that does not require special treatment so that maintenance becomes a hassle-free task. Opting for a canopy material that is resistant to stains, mildew, and fading ensures that your umbrella stays in pristine condition for a more extended period.
