Auto Open Double Layer City Umbrella
A double layer canopy on a wooden shaft for daily city use
What This Umbrella Is
The city model pairs a 23 inch double layer canopy with a wooden shaft and wooden handle, carried on fibreglass and metal ribs. The second canopy layer takes the gusting that funnels between buildings, while the wood keeps the umbrella looking like an object rather than a giveaway. All eight panels can take full coverage digital printing.
What You Get For Specifying This Model
- A double layer canopy handles the swirling gusts that are typical between city buildings.
- Wooden shaft and handle give the weight and feel buyers associate with a proper umbrella.
- Mixed fibreglass and metal ribs balance flex against the stiffness a double canopy needs.
- Full coverage digital printing across eight panels supports design-led ranges.
- 23 inch is the size people will carry every day rather than leave at the office.
Buyers Who Specify It
- Hotel and hospitality groups specifying guest umbrellas
- Retail brands building a daily-carry umbrella line
- Corporate gifting buyers wanting wood rather than plastic
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Single-layer umbrellas invert in the gusts that funnel down city streets.
- Plastic-handled umbrellas look wrong on a hotel stand or in a design store.
- Logo-on-one-panel printing does not suit a retail product.
Where It Ends Up
- Hotel lobby and concierge umbrellas
- City retail and department store own-brand ranges
- Corporate employee gifts for commuters
- Design and lifestyle brand merchandise

Getting The Most Out Of It
Step 1
Press the button holding the shaft below the runner.
Step 2
Angle the canopy into the wind so the double layer can vent.
Step 3
Dry the umbrella open so the wooden shaft does not stay damp under the canopy.
Step 4
Store hanging by the handle rather than standing on the tip.
Questions About This Model
Is the wood treated?
The shaft and handle are finished before assembly. Tell us the finish you want at sample stage, since a darker or lighter finish changes how the umbrella pairs with your canopy artwork.
How does the double layer help in the city?
Gusts between buildings come from below and from the side. The gap between the two layers lets that pressure escape upward rather than lifting the ribs past their travel.
Can we have a solid colour instead of a printed design?
Yes. Solid canopies with a single-panel logo are the most common specification; full coverage printing is the option when the artwork is the product.
Is this suitable as a hotel loan umbrella?
It is the model most often specified for that use because of the wooden shaft and the double canopy. Confirm quantities with us for pricing at loan-stock volumes.
