We have had our umbrella for 15 years and love it. Was totally worth the investment for a quality well built product which can be serviced and repaired unlike most cheap throw away umbrellas.Thanks to Lara who was recently able to help with a patch for an accidental hole. We expect to be using our umbrella for at least another 15 years.read more

I am delighted with my new 3.6m umbrella; high, wide, solid and shady. I'm kicking myself that I didn't get one years ago. We have a large deck facing northeast and I never wanted to put a roof over it because we love the winter sunshine in Canberra. So we've used the cheap ricketty 3m jobs for years. Never again! Thanks to Lara for calling to check that I was buying the right one for our needs.read more

At first I wasn’t sure whether to go for a cheap Chinese product or to go for one of these hand-made quality umbrellas which cost a little more. In the end I decided to go for the Australian made quality. It’s the best thing I ever did. 2 years later having endured the harshest of elements on the coast, my brolly is still beautiful. Best decision I ever made ;) Thanks for a quality product Lara and co. I hate having to throw away things after only a couple of years…read more

FAQ

An outdoor umbrella, also known as a patio umbrella, is a large umbrella designed for outdoor use in both residential and commercial settings. It provides shade and protection from weather elements while enhancing the aesthetics of an outdoor space.

The size of the patio umbrella you should buy depends on the size of the area you want to shade. For residential properties, a 9-foot umbrella is usually sufficient for a 48-inch table. For commercial properties, you may need a larger umbrella. A general rule is that the umbrella should be at least 5 feet larger than the area you want to shade.

Yes, most outdoor umbrellas do protect you from the sun. They offer shade and block harmful ultraviolet rays. The canvas used by Made In The Shade is made of solution-dyed acrylic and is certified with UPF 80, which is the highest possible UV protection factor.

No, leaving your outdoor umbrella open in strong winds is not advisable. Strong winds can damage the umbrella’s structure and potentially turn it into a safety hazard if blown away. It is best to close and secure your outdoor umbrella during such weather conditions.

Yes, it is advisable to close your patio umbrella every night. This is because leaving it open can expose it to potential damage from overnight weather conditions such as wind, rain, or even dew.

Yes, you can leave an outdoor umbrella outside all year round. However, it’s important to note that constant exposure to the elements can cause the material to fade, weaken, or deteriorate over time. If the umbrella isn’t in use, especially during harsh weather conditions, it’s advisable to close and cover it with a storage bag to protect the umbrella canvas and timber pole. Or store it indoors.

Outdoor umbrellas are typically made to be water-resistant; however, exposure to the elements can reduce their effectiveness. To maintain the waterproof quality and lifespan of your outdoor umbrella, it is important to clean it regularly and store it properly. Additionally, you can apply a waterproofing spray to prolong water resistance.

Maintaining your umbrella involves regular cleaning with a high-pressure hose to remove any dirt, bird droppings, or tree sap. For stubborn stains on white or natural canvas, a solution of bleach and water can be applied with a watering can. The umbrella should also be treated with a waterproofing spray. Refer to our umbrella care guide for more information on maintenance.
