Shade Panels

When the Sun Gets Creative

Most umbrellas handle extreme sun angles with tilting mechanisms, but our umbrellas are built too substantially for that approach. Instead, we created a better solution—shade panels that drop down from your canopy to block harsh angles with the same quality and durability as your umbrella itself. Attached with VELCRO® for easy adjustment, they provide protection without compromise.

Engineered shade for umbrellas built to last.

Shade On Demand

Deploy as many panels as you need, wherever you need them. Each panel attaches independently, allowing you to create custom shade coverage that adapts to the sun's position and your space's needs.

Disappears When Done

When the sun shifts or the day ends, panels tie up neatly against the canopy or remove completely for clean storage. No complicated mechanisms—just simple, effective shade management.

All orders are custom and priced according to your fabric, style and base selections.
