To successfully install a Cantilever Umbrella Spigot directly to a concrete slab all you need to do is watch the detailed step-by-step process video (below). We’ve also included some handy tips to ensure this install runs smoothly and safely.

Tips for a Successful Install: 

  • Watch our installation video several times before commencing the process 
  • Before you get started, check you have the correct tools needed to install the spigot to a concrete slab 
  • The center of the spigot must be 300mm from any wall and fence behind the umbrella; check thoroughly for any other obstructions too (for example fencing or furniture that the umbrella might hit as it opens and closes) 
  • Measure and mark out where you would like to install the spigot before drilling any holes in the concrete 
  • After each step check that the spigot is level before proceeding further. Use washers to level the spigot where required. 
  • Ensure the screws are tightened to the point where they are countersunk in the holes. 
  • Once you have completed the steps outlined in the video and the spigot has been securely installed into the concrete, have someone help you to lift the Cantilever Umbrella securely onto the spigot.

FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions about outdoor umbrellas.

Can’t find the answer you’re looking for?

What Is An Outdoor Umbrella?

An outdoor umbrella is a canopy-like structure designed to provide shade and protection from the sun and other elements in outdoor spaces. It typically consists of a frame and a fabric canopy.

What Are The Different Types Of Outdoor Umbrellas?

Outdoor umbrellas come in various types, including market umbrellas, cantilever umbrellas, patio umbrellas, beach umbrellas, and commercial-grade umbrellas, each designed for specific purposes and settings.

How Do I Choose The Right Size Of Outdoor Umbrella For My Space?

To determine the appropriate size for your outdoor umbrella, measure the length and width of the area you want to cover. Consider the shape and dimensions of the umbrella and make sure measurements of the umbrella don’t exceed the measurements of your area. Always try and select the biggest umbrella that will fit in your space – you won’t regret having extra shade!

Are Outdoor Umbrellas Waterproof?

While good quality outdoor umbrellas are typically made from water-repellant canvas, they may not be entirely waterproof. However remember that your outdoor umbrella is not a permanent structure, and if the rain was so torrential as to leak through the umbrella canvas you would not usually be sitting under it anyway. For 100% waterproof solutions, consider a permanent structural umbrella.

How Do I Maintain And Clean My Outdoor Umbrella?

Regularly clean the fabric canopy with mild soap and water to remove dirt and stains – use a medium-bristle brush to assist with this. Make sure to remove stubborn stains like bird droppings and tree sap promptly and do not allow it to penetrate the fabric. Keep the frame and moving parts clean and free of cobwebs and dirt. Use a protective cover to prolong the life of the canopy and frame and store the umbrella in a dry, protected area during the winter months if possible.

What people say about us

S Skubala

We purchased an Aurora umbrella for our outdoor area about 8 years ago and the process was smooth and hassle free. We had the canopy replaced in 2021 and once again, Instate Shade were a pleasure to deal with. Our umbrella is still going strong and we would highly recommend Instant Shade Umbrellas.

Libby

We have been extremely happy with our 3 umbrellas purchased and installed by Instant Shade.
They are a quality product that has stood up to the outdoor elements and still look as good as new!
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company.

Cory Slater

Great service, and helped us out of a jam over the Christmas period. Highly recommend!

Richard Dodsworth

Great support in advising and supplying a spare part for our outdoor umbrella.

Neville Curtis

Brenton Hale

My wife and I purchased an umbrella from Instant Shade. Trevor, the team member who delivered and assembled the structure, was nothing short of amazing. His patience in showing us how to use the umbrella was greatly appreciated.
The umbrella itself is amazing. The quality of the frame and fabric is fantastic.
We’ve already recommended Instant Shade to our families!

Stephen Hill

Instant Shade came highly recommended to us. We found the team at Instant shade to be a highly professional outfit from the first point of contact right through to the installation of our products in our commercial outdoor premises. Thank you, you are a quality outfit.

Tiff Barrass

Alan and the team produce beautiful branded umbrellas. The team are very accommodating in crunchy deadlines and we are always pleased with the outcomes. Would recommend!

Leonie Mulvany

Terrific to deal with. Rachel went to considerable trouble and we were just replacing the top of a well used umbrella purchased from instant shade many years ago. She made sure it was the correct top for the umbrella and invoicing was very simple. Thanks Leonie and John Inverloch

Romulus

Purchased the Eclipse 4.0 some years ago and it is excellent in wind amd provides superior UV protection.
I recently needed advice on a maintenance issue and received prompt and concise instructions to remedy the problem. Great after sales service.
Recommend.

Mitchell Walsh

The Umbrosa Paraflex wall mounted umbrella was the perfect option for our space. We are so pleased with the quality and versatility.

Amanda Cullen

Customer service done right and found in the strangest of places.
When Customer Relations left their role, the Director- Michael stepped in to assist.
We think he should be awarded a medal with how he communicates and problem solves.
Next his staff-Trevor who has been with the company for almost 15 years, just puts his head down and bum up.
Installing new skins on 7 umbrellas took less than half a day. That is impressive. If you are paying by the hour, its very reassuring knowing that someone is keen to get the job done.
On this occasion, Nick was the perfect back up dancer, finishing off the routine, adding all the buckles etc as Trevor surged forward.
As a sporting Club in the City of Melbourne, we are exposed to all the elements, particularly as of recent, this crazy wind. Nice knowing that we have a product that we can rely on and a team that are absolutely committed to you having the best product around
