Discover Shadowspec Umbrellas

Outdoor Umbrellas improve spaces by providing shade, comfort and protection. At Shadowspec, we make our umbrellas to last. Hand-built in New Zealand, our patented designs are shading people all over the world. 

At Shadowspec, we design and build a range of umbrellas for use worldwide. Cantilever Umbrellas are great for creating spaces that open up conversations. Pool Umbrellas are great for shading pools and spa pools. Wall Mounted Umbrellas fit into clever and compact spaces, and traditional Market Umbrellas are perfect for hospitality venues. 

We help people who are looking to shade their patio at home, a cafe or a hotel. Outdoor Umbrellas from Shadowspec will help you create a space that brings people together and protects them from the elements.

Shadowspec Umbrellas are made for outdoor spaces with marine-grade materials: stainless steel and aluminium are perfect for Australian conditions.

 We’ve redesigned a range of umbrellas that suit any project. The Shadowspec Unity™, Shadowspec Serenity™, and Shadowspec Retreat™ . Our range of umbrellas is designed to fit any outdoor project, and our team is ready to help design and deliver more shade across Australia and the world. 

Outdoor Umbrellas are important in Australia. In summer, the sun’s UV rays are harsh, and the environment is punishing. Outdoor furniture needs to be designed and built to stand up and stand out against the elements in Australia. At Shadowspec, we consider these environmental conditions when we’re designing and building our outdoor umbrella range. 

Discovering the best umbrella for your space can be a challenge. That’s why at Shadowspec, we have a team of designers and shade specialists who are always happy to help you develop a plan for your outdoor space. We believe we have developed the best umbrella in the world, and we’re excited to share all the details with you. There are plenty of options for umbrella sizes, shapes and colours that will match your space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing the right size depends on your seating area and the coverage you need. As a guide, your canopy should extend at least 2 metre beyond your table or seating area on all sides. For larger setups, such as outdoor lounges or dining tables, you can use multi-canopy umbrellas, like the Shadowspec Unity.

Every Shadowspec Umbrella is crafted from marine-grade aluminium and stainless-steel fittings to resist corrosion, even in coastal environments. The canopies are made from high-performance and UV-resistant fabric. They withstand both sunlight and rain while maintaining colour and strength over time.

Yes. Each model features a vented canopy that allows air to pass through, improving stability in strong winds. Our engineering and material selection ensure durability and consistent performance in exposed or coastal locations.

Cantilever umbrellas have an offset pole that gives an unobstructed space beneath the canopy. Centre pole umbrellas, on the other hand, are a classic choice for smaller tables and compact spaces.

With proper care and seasonal maintenance, high-quality outdoor umbrellas can last five years or more. Shadowspec Umbrellas are engineered for longevity and designed to perform through many seasons of sun and wind.

Minimal maintenance is needed for Shadowspec Umbrellas. You can clean the canopy with mild soap and water, and close or store your umbrella during extreme weather.

Yes. Our umbrellas are used in resorts, hotels, cafes, and restaurants. They’re designed to withstand continuous daily use in demanding environments while maintaining their luxury look and smooth operation.
