Deluxe and Ultimate
Our Deluxe and Ultimate range are similar in most ways. They both:
- Have an extruded frame with the mechanics built inside. The extruded frame offers more stability and a higher wind-rating, and also is more aesthetically more pleasing
- Have a high wind-rating*
- Rotate 360 degrees (standard)
- Offer single tilt functionality (standard)
- Offer double tilt (upgrade optional for Deluxe)
- Are offered in our most popular shape/size, 4m octagonal
- Are custom-made so you can choose the frame and canopy colours
- In-ground or bolt down base options
- Storage cover (optional for Deluxe; included for Ultimate).
The Ultimate umbrella comes with height adjustability – meaning the open canopy can be lowered or lifted higher. This function can be crucial when the umbrella needs to be installed on ground higher/lower than the desired shade area, to offer privacy from above or the side, and/or to create a warm and cozy environment for a hot-tub/spa.
The Ultimate umbrella only comes in a 4m octagonal.
In contrast, the Deluxe is available in these shapes and sizes:
- 3.2m octagonal/square
- 3.6m octagonal/square
- 4.0m octagonal
- 4.5m octagonal
- 5.0m octagonal.

*Our umbrellas have been independently tested in a lab. This is a one-off test which proves the quality of the design and parts. It does not take into account wear and tear of regular use or environmental factors such as elevation and local landscape. It does not indicate the strength of gusts the umbrella can handle. We always recommend closing and stowing away our residential range umbrellas when not in use.

Commercial
The Commercial Cantilever umbrella is the most distinct product of the four as it is built specifically for heavier winds. It is the choice for restaurants, resorts, kindergartens, hotels, community and sports clubs, and AIRbnb properties.
The Commercial Cantilever can be used in residential settings where the priorities are:
- *Higher wind-rating (110km/hr)
- A preference to put up and leave up
- Choice of frame and canopy colours
- Fire retardant Mehler’s FR580 is recommended for longevity
- Can rotate 360 degrees.
