Featuring the best outdoor umbrellas in Australia

ArchiPro’s carefully curated catalogue of products features outdoor umbrellas from the best suppliers in Australia. They are a quick and easy way to improve the livability of your outdoor space. What’s more, they have the ability to be quite stylish in terms of their aesthetic with lots of great colours and designs available. Outdoor umbrellas represent just one of many great products for shelter and shade systems which include awnings, fixed canopy roofs, and outdoor blinds.

Types of outdoor umbrellas

Tilting umbrellas

Tilting umbrellas stand on an adjustable pole that can be contorted to different angles, allowing you to effectively block out the sun.

Cantilever umbrella

Much like a tilting umbrella, these umbrellas have a tilting function with a wide range of motion. They are large and robust and able to withstand harsh conditions.

Pool umbrella

Pool umbrellas are essential during the summer, providing shade over the poolside to protect you from burns when your sunscreen washes off.  

Free-standing umbrella

Free-standing umbrellas are able to stand on their own. They can be inserted into outdoor table sets, and they retract easily when not in use.

The advantages of high-quality outdoor umbrellas

High quality outdoor umbrellas are a total game-changer. While other shade options like pergolas and louvre roofs offer effective protection against the elements, none are quite as handy and flexible as the trusty umbrella. Available in small and large options, they can spread across a larger area than you might think, enhancing the comfort of your patio or pool. High quality options are made of better-grade materials with a wider variety of colours and styles, so you can match yours to the architectural aesthetic of your home. Because they are easily retractable, you can disassemble and store them when not in use.

How to choose an outdoor umbrella that is right for you

When choosing an outdoor umbrella, first consider the size of your patio. Oversized umbrellas will be difficult to arrange properly and could become damaged if they scrape against the side of the home. Smaller umbrellas, on the other hand, will be ineffective for larger patios. Measure your patio before purchasing, keeping in mind your umbrella should be slightly larger than the outdoor furniture it’s providing shade too. Secondly, consider the material. Wooden umbrellas have a natural feel, perfect for the outdoors in Australia, while aluminium has non-corrosive qualities and is extremely durable.
