Fabric and Inks

We use a locally manufactured printable fabric, which comfortably holds it head high in the “best of class”category on the World Stage.
The fabric is classified as a premium quality fabric in the marketplace and the top of the range from the factory. It is 100% polyester and double coated with an acrylic base with a weighting of 245g/ms. It was specifically designed for durability in harsh outside conditions, and should, with normal care, last at least 5 years. We recommend that you protect the canopy with a protective cover if it will be stored outdoors.
The Inks are UV resistant and guaranteed to retain full colour for at least 2 years. With proper care 5 years is a reasonable expectation. To care for the canopy, keep it covered with a protective cover when not in use and store indoors for best results. The Inks eventually biodegrade, and are non toxic.
lean your canopy, lay it with the printed side up on a clean flat surface, that can take water. Wipe down with a cloth soaked in a weak solution of dishwashing liquid or use a soft-bristled brush if needed. Use ¼ cup dishwashing liquid to 5L of water. Rinse with cold water using a hosepipe to hose down the canopy. The frame is aluminium and will not rust so this can be done on the frame if desired.
Frames

We designed our frames with 5 key objectives in mind: sustainability, strength, durability, lightness and quality.
All our frames are made locally from 100% recycled aeronautical grade aluminium. This grade of aluminium is very lightweight, but nevertheless has an increased tensile strength. The internal struts are 25mm x 13mm and are internally braced with reinforcements. The wall thickness of 2mm is above the industry average, and exceptionally strong.. Aluminium is extremely durable as it is rust resistant, but by powder coating them we have made the frames scratch resistant as well.With proper care, your frame could well last a lifetime.
All the fittings are made from extruded polypropylene UV resistant materials, which renders them very durable.
The collar and the locking pin are made from steel.
For ease of use we have a pulley system on the larger sized umbrellas ( 3.5m and up) . All the umbrellas come with an adjustable easy lift slider and locking lever. There are 5 settings that allow you to alter the pitch of the canopy.the steel pin provides additional safety and security.
All the poles are a sleek hexagonal shape and fit into a standard upright with an internal diameter of 50mm.
Bases

Sempre Bases
The Sempre Base is intended for everyday use. It does the job, but does so cost effectively.
They come in 2 sizes - 27kgs and 50kg’s
We recommend a 25kg base for umbrellas up to 3m but for any larger parasols please use a larger base.
We are not able to deliver these. You will have to arrange a courier for collection. The upstand fits an umbrella with an outer diameter of 50mm, which is the industry standard. Similar bases that fit our Parasols can be found at most large retailers.

Premium Powder Coated Steel Bases
Our Premium Base has been designed to look sleek, contemporary and upmarket. Made locally, we have used mild steel and then powder coated it to prevent rust. It is made of two stainless steel plates, and for smaller canopies only the base plate is required. For the heavier canopies a separate top plate is added, which can be carried and stored separately. Each plate weighs 25kg and if the top and bottom plates are used in conjunction, the total weight is suitable for even the largest umbrella. The upstand is 50mm in diameter and will fit most standard umbrella poles. The pole is screwed into position to prevent the umbrella from being lifted out of the stand in windy conditions.
For the 2m, 2.2m and 2.5m umbrella a single plate suffices. For the larger umbrellas we recommend the double plate system.
The colour of the powder coating is a deep grey, as that will not show scuff marks, and it also blends with most other colours so will speak to any decor scheme.
Protective Covers

We have made our canopy cover from RIPTECH ™, with the following properties:
- It’s is antifungal
- Water resistant >1,000
- 425gsm
- Tensile strength / WARP >1800
- Tensile strength / WEFT >1500
- Colourfast for at least 2 years in outside conditions
- Designed in South Africa specifically for harsh outdoor conditions
The design includes an internal vertical pole that acts as a handle for lifting the canopy over the top of the parasol without needing a ladder etc. It can be removed for washing the cover by undoing the velcro seal.
A very neat, durable,smart and practical protective cover.
They come in 2 sizes
- the medium cover is suitable for all canopies up to 3
- the large cover is suitable for all canopies 3.5m and up
