Traditional outdoor shade
The Shadowspec brand has become the trusted provider of superior products and first-class support.
With over 25 years of experience, we’ve learned there are three things our customers seek in an outdoor umbrella: ease of use, a fine design and resistance to whatever element nature has in store. Our ability to fuse these needs into one product makes our range of outdoor umbrellas unparalleled to the rest.
Shadowspec brings family and friends together by providing an unparalleled customer experience through innovative, premium quality products, and providing bespoke solutions for your specific shade requirements.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
I had the intention early this week to purchase one maybe two umbrellas for our family home. I was happy to go on the hunt on foot but thought I would research on line first. Initially I thought your products were too expensive for my budget. Seth however kept me on the hook by providing me with different options. Again I hesitated, knowing that a few sales were surely to happen soon but Seth continued to give me more information and make the whole process easy. End result, two umbrellas purchased and being delivered this week. It was a delight to deal with Seth, and clearly he is a great representative of the company. I hope I enjoy the umbrellas as much as your customer service. Thanking you.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
Very efficient dealings throughout, and a great product. We chose the product because of the hydraulic ram, rather than some wind-up system others have.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
When we recently purchased our SU7 Umbrella from Shadowspec we couldn't help but be impressed with their quality of service & personnel. The umbrella looks and operates exactly as promised, it is hard to believe how such a large umbrella can be raised and lowered so easily. There would be no hesitation in me to recommend Shadowspec to other people who want a quality outdoor umbrella that will last.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL
I just want to pass on my thanks to you for arranging our second outdoor umbrella purchase from you. The service was great, no hiccups, delivered on time, with every item included. They are a great product and we will be requiring some more from you for a commercial job we are undertaking later in the year. Thanks again.
