Avoid the harsh Australian sun and create a lovely ambience for your business or home outdoor entertaining area by erecting a garden umbrella. Your new outdoor umbrella cantilever is the ultimate shade and style solution for the backyard, balcony or commercial space such as a bar, cafe or restaurant courtyard. Whether you love relaxing by the swimming pool or hosting BBQs, you'll always want your umbrella keeping everyone cool and UV-protected. It also provides a fantastic cover for additional outdoor furniture when the gazebo is full.
Brands
There are loads of quality umbrella cantilevers for sale online. Keep your eye out for popular brands like Wallaroo, Perfect Oasis, Patio Tree, and Homeez.
Materials
These garden accessories are typically built with a strong, durable powder-coated steel frame and 8 ribs to prevent peeling and rust, along with a hard-wearing, long-lasting, sun-resistant and waterproof 180-240gsm polyester fabric umbrella.
Style and features
While traditional patio umbrellas are designed with a central pole, modern versions tend to use a more practical and elegant cantilevered side post and hanging umbrella design. The crank system allows for quick and easy assembly and tilting, while the adjustable pivot on the base makes manoeuvring the umbrella a breeze when the sun keeps changing position. You can lock the umbrella into position at your desired height. Of course when the umbrella cantilever is not in use, simply fold it up and put it away.

These items usually weigh around 15 to 15.5kg. The most popular colours are beige, white, black, grey, blue, green and red.
