Bringing People Together
About Shadowspec Umbrellas

The Shadowspec brand has become the trusted provider of superior products and first-class support.

Umbrellas are more than just a provider of shade – they reflect a certain lifestyle.

With over 25 years of experience, we’ve learned there are three things our customers seek in an outdoor umbrella: ease of use, a fine design and resistance to whatever element nature has in store. Our ability to fuse these needs into one product makes our range of outdoor umbrellas unparalleled to the rest.
