Love it
Very easy to use, sturdy (even in stronger winds) and plenty of room for two. Has extended time at beach and even into early evening.
Best product I’ve had in years.

Cantilever Umbrella
Straight forward to select umbrella size, fabric colour and base connection type. Got a quick response to a query re connection of base plate option directly over top of 30mm thick stone paving . ended up with cross arm base and ballast weights as partner rejected my proposal to bolt the baseplate direct as there is a thick reinforced concrete slab under.

Superb umbrella, good service, slow delivery.
Good, quick website, easy to order, good product and delivery went smoothly. However, delivery did take 10 days - a bit longer than I expected.
However, the umbrella itself is superb. Very, very nicely and strongly made. Excellent fixings and mounting plates. Extremely easy to raise and lower, also easy to put the cover on (even the standard cover is well designed and well made, with a lovely, butter-smooth zip). I am pretty fussy, but I have been impressed by how good it is. To give a full, objective review, I would say that the fabric of the umbrella is slightly thinner than I would hope. We shall have to see how it lasts. I am sure that a thicker fabric would be more expensive as well as heavier, so this is a comment rather than a criticism. Overall I am frankly delighted with the purchase.

Hi Simon,
Thank you for taking the time to write us a thorough five star review.
We're very glad to hear how happy you are with your Savannah Cantilever Umbrella and that you have found it so easy to use. The fabric, while it seems thin, is certified UPF50+, which is the highest UV rating available for fabrics in Australia and blocks 98% of UV rays. It is unfortunate that your delivery took longer than you expected though - while we do our best to find reliable couriers that we can trust with our customers' deliveries, shipping large items can still be tricky! We appreciate your patience in that regard and again are so glad that you're happy with your order.
Kind regards,
Alana

Very easy process ordering online.
Communication was great and my parcel arrived in great time.
I bought the sun shelter for a Christmas present, and own one myself.
It’s the best of its kind. I’ve had others that have broken, but not Shade Australia one.
Thank you.
