Cantilever umbrellas and centre pole umbrellas both have advantages depending on use and location. The significant feature of a cantilever umbrella is that the pole is to the side of the umbrella canopy. This allows for uninterrupted shade below. A table and chairs can be set up directly underneath without a centre pole being in the way. A table and chair setting can be moved into any position under a cantilever umbrella. The second feature unique to a cantilever umbrella is that the umbrella canopy can be rotated through 360 degrees. This functionality is a major feature and benefit of this series of outdoor umbrellas. As the sun moves, so can your shade. The entire cantilever umbrella sits on a bearing base allowing it to be easily rotated by one person. This function is also perfect if your cantilever is set up poolside. If you feel like lying under the sun you can rotate the umbrella to one side. Should you then prefer some cool shade, simply rotate the umbrella back into place. A third handy feature is the ability to tilt the canopy. This adjustment allows for the canopy to be set in the perfect location to block the sun. These features make the cantilever umbrella one of the most popular umbrella in the Flare Shade range. Cantilever umbrellas are made from a beautiful polished extruded aluminium.

Centre Pole umbrellas also have an advantage and come in a variety of styles and strength. Cafe umbrellas and commercial umbrellas such as the Flare Shade 100 and 200 series have always been popular in restaurants, cafes and poolside areas.

Flare Shades cafe umbrellas are beautifully crafted with a signature 30 face extruded aluminium pole and reinforced pole. The 100 and 200 series are designed for more permanent applications and are generally bolted to the ground. Commercial umbrellas come in a variety of sizes including a very large 7 metre umbrella.
