Dulux Colorbond powder coating in Black or White as standard.

Custom powder coating, treatments or anodising on request,

Step Two: Fabric & Trims

A. Select Canopy, Hat & Valance Fabrics

With 1,000s to choose from - a Pantone colour, or inspirational image is usually a good place to start. And we can then try and source it for you from our lovely fabric partners.

Can't find the perfect fabric... we can also custom print with an MOQ of 1,200m.

B. Lining options - custom printed solution dyed polyester

New offering. Any pattern or colour can be used.

Step Three: Layout

Create Your Canopy Layout
  • Mix of fabrics - hat, main canopy, valances
  • Direction of fabric patterns
  • Split layered canopies

Step Four: Valance Style

Select your valance style
  • No valance
  • Single layer valance
  • Double layer valance
  • Triple layer valance

Valance Drop - Standard or Waterfall

While all umbrellas have a seam from awning to valance, we can treat the fall 2 ways subject to desired profile.

Or Go big bold & Maximalist

With our new wrap around valance style - inspired by the 2025 European Summer

Available by special request for bespoke designs.

& Finally select your valance shape

We hand-make all valances, so can make in any shape or style:

  • Cafe - straight rectangle
  • Round or square scallop
  • Keyhole
  • Art Deco
  • Shell
  • Wave
  • Or a shape just for you!

Step five: bases

Don't forget about your base or in-ground socket

Consider the location when selecting the best solution:

  • How windy is the site?
  • Do you need more the umbrellas?
  • Or a more permanent solution?
  • Is the site over water or close to the coast?
  • Do you need a custom colour?
