Umbrello - Cantilever & Commercial Umbrellas

20/10/2026

Four homes. Four completely different problems. One question we get asked every week: "Will an umbrella actually work in MY space?" ☀️

Here's what you just watched 👇

🌊 The clifftop deck
Nothing between this deck and the bay but glass and sky. Wind comes straight off the water, so the owners needed shade they could trust. We fitted a Shadowspec Serenity on a fixed mount: a cantilever wind rated to 60 km/h, with the pole tucked to the side so nothing blocks the view. And yes, it still gets closed when the wind picks up. That's how you get decades out of it.

🍽️ The garden dining table
Ten seats, all-day sun and a table nobody wanted to move. A black Serenity throws a big square of shade straight over the table, and the cantilever arm keeps the pole out of everyone's legroom. No more shuffling chairs at 3pm to chase the shade.

🚗 The carport
This one surprises people. Two cantilevers shade both cars through a Melbourne summer, without the bulk of a solid carport roof.

🏖️ The bayside deck
Sometimes a space just calls for timber. This Made in the Shade umbrella is Australian made from Victorian Ash, in a blue-and-white stripe that belongs by the water. It's perfect for a sheltered spot where you want warmth and character rather than engineering.

The pool was finished. The landscaping was going in. The travertine looked amazing. But one thing was still missing, and they could feel it every afternoon from about 1pm onwards… 🌞

No shade. Anywhere.

Anyone with a pool in Australia knows the problem. You spend serious money building a backyard you love, and then it's too hot to use for half the day. The kids get burnt, the pavers get too hot to walk on, and the sun lounges sit empty while everyone hides inside with the air con on.

So here's what we did 👇

Meet Serenity, our cantilever umbrella. We put it right on the pool's edge, anchored in the garden bed, with the canopy reaching out over the water and the coping. The post stays out of the way, so you can swim, lounge and walk around with nothing in your path. The shade sits where you need it, not where a centre pole forces it to be.

Why a cantilever, and not a pergola or a shade sail?

✔️ No posts in the middle of your space, so the pool area stays open
✔️ Shade right over the water, not just beside it
✔️ Packs down and zips into its cover when you don't need it (see the last shot 👀)
✔️ It suits a modern garden. Clean lines, a neutral canopy, and it doesn't fight the landscaping
✔️ No permanent structure to build

The best part? This family can now spend whole afternoons by the pool instead of running for cover. That's what good shade gives you: more hours in the backyard you already paid for.

If you're building a pool, renovating your outdoor area, or you're just sick of baking in the sun every summer, now is the time to sort it. Spring is here, and summer will arrive before you know it. ☀️

We supply and install across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and we'll help you pick the right size, position and mounting for your space.

💬 Comment "SHADE" and we'll send you the options that would work for your backyard.
📩 Or DM us a photo of your space and we'll tell you what we'd put there.
