The wall mounted umbrella – backyard and beyond

Practical, stylish and useful, wall-mounted umbrellas are first rate. 

Designed to be mounted on the wall and folded down to a low profile when not in-use. The Our wall mounted umbrella is full of innovative features - the cleverest addition to our line of luxury outdoor umbrellas. To us, there’s no point in creating a wall mounted umbrella that isn’t fit for purpose. Therefore, we’ve been thoughtful and considered in the selection and production of the Shadowspec Retreat™.

Hand built right here in New Zealand, this umbrella works hard to provide shade at every angle, giving you more options to create shade. 

What are the benefits of wall mounted umbrellas?

No two outdoor spaces are alike, and wall mounted umbrellas are brilliant for those outdoor spaces where a center pole or cantilever is not fit for purpose. Wall mounted umbrellas don’t have a mast; this allows for a selection of additional features. Tilting, rotating and extending are all easy to do and effective. The Retreat is designed as a balcony shade, an apartment shade, an alfresco café shade or a spa pool shade. You are not limited to these use cases, what a fantastic starting point though right? The combination of the additional features allows you to create a malleable and productive shade. 

What are the best uses for wall mount umbrellas?

Do you live in an area that you cannot shade with a cantilever umbrella or a centre pole umbrella? Is your space an awkward shape? We have the solution with our wall mounted shade. We thought about the spaces that people need to shade when engineering the Retreat. The canopy frame is hexagonal, allowing for new angles to be opened. Modern living and hospitality spaces are restrictive about what you can fix to the ground. As many balconies often have waterproof membranes that cannot be bolted through, wall mounting is the ideal solution. 

Here to help you create picture-perfect spaces

Adding colour to your space is also a key consideration of any outdoor product. Our design team has selected a range of modern, trending colours of our Retreat Umbrellas. The design team created these to either stand out, contrast, or blend in with your outdoor space, and they will certainly make a statement. There are three neutral tones to choose from as well as an iconic Rust colour and, for the first time, a stylish Black-and-White Striped canopy. Using our experience and internal design principles applied to all our Shadowspec outdoor umbrellas.

How about umbrellas for a small venue, such as a sidewalk café?

Boutique, modern or classic, regardless of the aesthetic your establishment pertains to, will require a shade solution. Awnings are a common choice for sidewalk hospitality, yet the drawback is they’re often fixed with little recompense for adverse weather. Retracting with a hand winder or automatic system takes time and energy that, face it, isn’t what we got into hospitality for. 

The Retreat is an ideal hospitality partner which solves a range of challenges where space is at a premium. It is not hyperbolic that people prefer outdoor seating at hospitality establishments. Stainless steel and anodised aluminium components are important in a commercial setting, and wall mounted umbrellas from Shadowspec are designed with quality in mind.
