The Patio umbrella selection is broken in to two categories: Business and Premium. Business umbrellas feature a slimmer center support pole which makes them compatible with most outdoor tables that possess an umbrella mount. The Premium range features a larger pole profile and can be ordered with a mounting base for portable use and foundation on most flat surfaces. Cantilever umbrellas work differently than normal umbrellas; their canopy extends outwards from a side leveraged frame, as opposed to bearing a traditional center pole. This allows for increased access to the shade below and also features height adjustment and full rotational function. Flare Shade’s commercial X & Y Series umbrellas are the strongest of their kind, bearing an oversized 1×1 inch diameter center pole made from marine-grade extruded aluminum. These heavy duty shade structures are for permanent installation in business or public applications. They are subcategorised in to the 100 and 200 series, distinguished by an increase in frame profile size from 100mm to 105mm respectively.
