Umbrella Customization Options
Every umbrella we make is built to an order rather than picked from stock, which means the specification is yours to set. This is the full list of what can be changed, taken directly from what our production runs.

From Brief To Delivered Umbrella
Tell us the use
Who carries the umbrella, where, and whether they keep it. That decides more of the specification than any other answer.
Pick format and size
Folding, stick or straight, and a canopy from 19 to 34 inch. Bag-carried means folding; open ground means a larger canopy on a fibreglass frame.
Choose frame and fabric
Frame material follows canopy size and use. Fabric and coating follow whether the umbrella is for rain, sun or visibility.
Set the branding
Colour count and artwork type decide the printing method. We lay the artwork out panel by panel and flag anything that will not reproduce.
Approve a sample
A physical sample is produced and approved before any bulk fabric is cut.
Production and packing
The run is produced against the approved sample, inspected, sleeved and cartoned to your marking.
Four Decisions Worth Reading About First
Customization Questions
Can I combine options from different models?
Within limits. A shaft only takes certain handles, and a canopy size only works with certain frames. Send us the combination you want and we will tell you what is buildable rather than guessing.
Is there an extra charge for customization?
Branding and non-standard components affect the price, and how much depends on quantity and method. It is quoted per order rather than published as a surcharge.
Can you make a size that is not on the list?
The sizes listed are what we build across the formats. If you need something outside them, ask, and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth tooling for your quantity.
How do I send artwork?
Email it to [email protected] with the model and quantity. Vector files are best; for photographic designs send the highest resolution original you have.
Send Us The Specification You Have In Mind
Include the use, the quantity and your artwork. We will tell you what is buildable, what is not, and what we would change.
