Introducing The Wall Mounted Umbrella

The Wall Mounted Umbrella…a revolutionary solution designed for compact spaces. A wall mounted umbrella maximises both your comfort and space without compromising shade.

You can say goodbye to the dilemma of protecting your patio or balcony from the sun’s harsh rays, as this perfect balcony umbrella has got you covered.
Its ability to rotate and tilt follow the sun ensures that you can make the most of your patio or balcony throughout the day.
Wall Mounted Umbrellas are designed to mount off the side of your home, apartment or venue. With their streamlined design they can fit in any space.

What features and functionality should I expect from a wall umbrella?

The Shadowspec Retreat™ is a wall mounted umbrella offered by Shadowspec, providing clever shade for compact spaces. For this article, we will use examples from the Retreat™ to demonstrate just how functional a wall mounted umbrella is. The Shadowspec Retreat™ has been designed from the wall up (forgive the pun) to provide effortless shade where you need it most.

Using in-house design philosophy Shadowspec have created an umbrella that offers not only functionality and convenience where you need it, but is also sleek and elegant to provide comfort to your space. Some of the key features of the Shadowspec Retreat™ Umbrella:

SHADOWLIFT™ – Gas Assisted deployment for an easy Lift,
SHADOWTILT™ – Protects from low-angled sun rays on those long hot afternoons.
SHADOWREACH™ – Extends away from the wall for maximum shade reach.
Dynamic Rotation allowing shade for the duration of the day.

So you may be thinking well, I don’t have a balcony, can I put this umbrella anywhere else?

Yes you can. They’re crafted to be mounted on the side of your home, apartment, on a post, pillar or anything with a flat vertical surface. The versatile design fits in almost any space you can imagine. Not only this but they can pack away so small they are almost unnoticeable.

Whether you have a cosy backyard or a bustling outdoor venue, these umbrellas can be installed wherever you need them with no intrusion on floor space. If you need shade while maximising floor space, we recommend a wall mounted umbrella no matter what style your outdoor space is.

Whether you are a commercial restaurant or just a backyard burger fan, these umbrellas can assist in providing the perfect ambience and comfort for you and your diners.

So how big is this umbrella?

Let’s talk about patio umbrellas, market umbrellas and garden umbrellas—the go-to size is 2.7m or 8’10” in diameter, with that classic round shape. Most wall mount umbrellas including the Shadowspec Retreat™ come in this size.

The 2.7m Hexagon canopy provides ample shade coverage for you, your friends, and all your outdoor furniture. While being a comfortable and spacious canopy size, it is still versatile enough to fit into a wide range of areas giving you the best of both worlds.

If you’re spending the money you want to make sure you’re buying quality, right?

We agree, and recommend you view your shade solution as a long-term investment.

The Shadowspec Retreat™ is a perfect example of a high-quality product, built from marine-grade materials.

For you, this means you will receive a long-lasting shade solution with no rusting, fading or UV damage.
