Manual Open Golf Umbrella
The volume golf umbrella: all fibreglass, two sizes, one simple mechanism
What This Umbrella Is
This is the workhorse golf umbrella. Shaft, frame and ribs are fibreglass, the handle is black EVA, and the mechanism is manual, which removes the most common warranty failure on high-volume promotional orders. It is supplied in 27 inch (54 inch arc) and 30 inch (60 inch arc) and is the model we quote most often when the order runs into thousands of units.
What You Get For Specifying This Model
- No spring mechanism means one fewer component to fail across a large run.
- A full fibreglass frame keeps the wind performance of the auto model without its cost.
- Two sizes cover both the standard and the oversize tier of a catalogue.
- Black EVA is a neutral handle that suits any canopy colour scheme.
- Plastic tips and top are replaceable wear parts rather than a reason to scrap the umbrella.
Buyers Who Specify It
- Promotional products distributors buying in volume
- Golf clubs and societies placing annual orders
- Sponsorship and hospitality buyers covering many guests
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Auto mechanisms are the part that fails first when hundreds of people share umbrellas.
- Metal-framed golf umbrellas arrive bent and stay bent.
- Quoting two sizes from two different factories complicates a single campaign.
Where It Ends Up
- Large-volume promotional golf umbrella runs
- Club member and society gifts
- Sponsor branding at outdoor sports events
- Distributor stock lines

Getting The Most Out Of It
Step 1

Step 4
Replace a damaged tip rather than scrapping the umbrella.
Questions About This Model
Why choose manual over auto for a large order?
The auto spring is the component most likely to fail in shared use. On runs of several thousand units, removing it reduces both cost and replacement rate.
Is it single or double layer?
Single layer. If wind performance is the priority, the Auto Open Double Layer Golf Umbrella or the 30 Inch Manual Open Vented model are the vented options.
What print methods suit this canopy?
Silk-screen for solid logos, heat transfer or digital for multi-colour and photographic artwork. We recommend a method once we see the artwork and the run size.
What is the lead time?
Lead time is to be confirmed and depends on quantity, print method and canopy colour. Email [email protected] with the details and we will confirm a schedule.
