Beat the Summer Heat with Cantilever Outdoor Umbrellas – Shadowspec.Co.NZ

Summer tends to mean more time outdoors which in turn, exposes your skin to the sun's intense heat. However, you can still enjoy your favourite summer activities, lounging by the pool or wining and dining friends and family in your outdoor area as long as you take some protective measures. Such measures include wearing sunscreen, protective clothing, and spending time in the shade such as under outdoor umbrellas. If you plan to spend a lot of time lounging outdoors then you should consider purchasing cantilever outdoor umbrellas. High-quality cantilever outdoor umbrellas can both help you beat the summer heat and protect you from the adverse effects of overexposure to the sun's UV rays.



Cantilever outdoor umbrellas are practical if you want a more aesthetically pleasing shade with minimal interference in your usable area. Unlike typical outdoor umbrellas with the pole in the centre, the cantilever umbrella's shade canopy extends from one side while attached to a free-standing pole. They are an elegant addition to a home or commercial setting, while providing a comfortable place to unwind and relax. Operation can be both easy and fluid, with such designs available that allow you to open or close the umbrella in one easy sliding movement. For larger areas or more versatile configurations, consider multi-mast cantilever umbrellas, can mount 1,2, 3 or 4 umbrellas on just one pole and utilise gas strut technology to enable opening and closing of the umbrellas with ease.

High-quality cantilever outdoor umbrellas effectively filter UV rays by up to nearly 100 percent, depending on the colour of the canopy. The canopy should be made of 100 percent solution-dyed fabric, usually Sunbrella or Dickson Acrylic, which is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as part of a complete sun protection regime. The fabric has a 7-8/8 colour fastness rating and a waterproof rating of >300mm. It is easy to care for, since it resists mould growth and is water repellant, but you have the option to wash and replace it when needed.

You can purchase commercial sun umbrellas from reputable providers like Shadowspec, the most trusted and quickest responding retailer of luxury umbrella systems in New Zealand.
