The Benefits of Cantilever Umbrellas
Cantilever umbrellas provide a clear space underneath the canopy without the need for a center pole. Ideal for a more intimate patio or restaurant setting as no masts are blocking the conversation.
Shadowspec cantilever umbrellas only take seconds to deploy. The Shadowspec Serenity™ and Shadowspec Unity™ are high quality, strong shade umbrellas that use gas strut, easy lift technology for effortless deployment every time.
What is a Cantilever Umbrella?
A cantilever umbrella provides a clear space underneath the canopy without the need for a center pole. Suspended in the air and supported by a freestanding pole on the side, they are ideal for a patio or restaurant setting as no masts are blocking the conversation.
Looking for the best cantilever umbrella?
Shadowspec Umbrellas are constructed from marine-grade materials, including stainless steel and aluminum. Our canopies are water-repellent, mold resistant and color fast – the ultimate waterproof cantilever umbrella.
Mounting options
A free-standing cantilever umbrella base allows you to change where the umbrella is located. Move your umbrella from the pool to over the spa, or around your outdoor table with Shadowspec’s Free Standing Base. The In-ground Anchor and Surface Plate are better suited to alfresco dining areas, decks or patios.
Easy-lift umbrellas, why are they such a big deal?
This technology allows for easy deployment every time due to a gas strut and quick release sliding system. The patented ‘one movement’ sliding system enables the umbrella to be opened and closed in one sliding action.
Why choose Shadowspec?
Shadowspec is a global manufacturer of innovative umbrellas.
What mounting options can I choose from?
Mounting solutions include in-ground anchors for concrete, surface plates for timber decks, and wall brackets for compact spaces. For those who need mobility, free-standing bases with optional wheels enable easy repositioning of the umbrella across your patio.
Can Shadowspec umbrellas handle high winds?
Shadowspec umbrellas feature a Beaufort 5 wind rating, which covers wind speeds between 29–38 kph. As a rule, if conditions feel uncomfortable for outdoor relaxation, we recommend closing the umbrella and securing it with a protection cover to maintain its condition.
What fabric is used for the umbrella canopies?
We use solution dyed acrylic fabrics from Sunbrella and Recasens. These materials offer a UPF 80 rating and provide maximum resistance to fading and UV damage. This ensures the canopy remains a vibrant focal point of the outdoor space for years.
Do these umbrellas offer integrated lighting?
Yes. The Shadowspec Serenity and Shadowspec Unity feature the Shadowhub™, which includes built-in LED lighting. This lighting system is app-controlled and dimmable, allowing for a seamless transition from day to night.

Here’s how Shadowspec luxury umbrellas can ensure you find the best umbrella.
Portable Cantilever Umbrellas
The coast of New Jersey is a popular destination for families looking to escape the hustle of the nearby cities. Coastal living is defined by comfortable family areas, places that can be enjoyed all day and furniture like cantilever pool umbrellas that enhance the summer season. Max and his family have finished building their home along the coast of New Jersey, with a pool, a pier and a jacuzzi to enjoy, they needed a shade solution for their area.
Choose Your Umbrella Style
The Shadowspec Unity™ is our flagship model. Exclusive and modular, the design breaks away from the typical parasol design – allowing you to mount up to four canopies from one central mast. This model creates contemporary and exclusive spaces that lift street appeal and keep people coming back.
The Shadowspec Serenity™ is designed to be deployed and shifted with the sun. It has been engineered for excellence, featuring the same easy-lift and one-movement technology as the Unity. This model is a favourite for home and garden or commercial spaces, from cafés to patios, boutique retreats or poolside at clubs and resorts.
Both Serenity and Shadowspec Unity feature built-in LED light technology that is controlled by the Shadowspec App. Light up your space with great features.
All Shadowspec umbrellas feature marine-grade construction and UV protecyed fabric. We have a range of Sunbrella fabrics available in a range of colors so you can stand out or blend in.
Our cantilever umbrellas have a number of mount options. Try a portable base with wheels so you can shift your layout throughout the year. In-ground and surface mounts are sturdier and more permanent – great for patios and alfresco areas where your other fixtures are also permanent.
An offset shade umbrella also gives you a dynamic shade solution so you can maximize your shade no matter where the sun moves. Rotate 360 degrees and tilt up to 18 degrees.
Save time and money with your staff spending less time arranging furniture and more time with customers. Our gas-assisted lift, one-movement sliding action make our umbrellas perfect for the hospitality industry, ideal for use in bars and restaurants.
