Fabric

The canopy features Cederbrook’s PROOF RANGE which uses solution dyed polymers, both polyester and acrylic. This is created by adding pigment to molten polymer, which is then spun into thread. The result is a fabric where the colour sits evenly through the cross section of the thread fibre instead of only on the outer layer.

The advantages of using a fabric created with solution dyed polymer are that it has a much greater resistance to fading and that the action of fading is minimised which results in little to no colour change for long periods of time.

Cederbrook fabric also has greater stretch than other conventional outdoor fabric so that it sits nicely on the umbrella frame. It is treated with fluorocarbon which imparts a water, oil, and soil repellent finish, allowing it to dry faster. This makes it easier to keep clean. It is also mildew-resistant.

Fabric Colours

The following colours are available:

*Please note: Colours may vary slightly between screens and the actual product.

Frame

The frame is anodised aluminium which is rust-resistant. The arms have been manufactured with custom-extrusion anodised aluminium for extra strength.

Gust Busta arms are designed to help the umbrella tolerate wind in the case of an unexpected gust. We always recommend closing the umbrella if it becomes too windy or when it is not being supervised and advise that wind damage is not accepted under warranty.

The 3m Hexagonal umbrella features a tilt function with two tilt positions.

Base

The Parashade base has been improved! The new base comes flat-packed for easy installation. It takes 6 standard pavers to create the ballast weight it needs to remain stable. It features stainless steel castors which are strong and lockable – simply release the locks, position the umbrella where you want it, and lock them into place!

Warranty

The Parashade 2.1 has a three year manufacturer’s warranty in commercial applications and five years in domestic. Please note that wind damage is not covered under warranty.
