Bambrella
World's strongest umbrellas
Bambrella takes great pride in the fact that their outdoor center pole and offset umbrellas are the strongest on the market today. It's a testament to the company's focus and unyielding scrutiny of the details, without forgetting their ecological responsibilities to the planet.
Premium materials
Quality begins with the raw materials that you put into your products. To create patio umbrellas that stand out from the competition, Bambrella uses only the finest grade woods, metals and plastics.
Moso bamboo
This type of bamboo was specially selected for its tightly condensed fiber strands, which closely resemble the structure of fine-grained hardwoods like teak and give it its strength and durability. The bamboo is carefully dried in strips and then laminated, using a process that minimizes the chance of cracking, splitting or warping.
Anodized aluminum
This metal is lightweight and durable, making it a perfect choice for patio umbrellas. The electrochemical anodizing process converts the surface of the aluminum to one that is corrosion-resistant and creates an appealing decorative appearance.
Marine grade nylon
This polyamide thermoplastic is characterized by its strength, rigidity and resistance to heat and wear. Bambrella uses this highly effective material to form the hubs, ribs, runners and posts of its umbrellas.
Cutting edge design
Bambrella designs patio umbrellas to withstand the harsh elements of a variety of climates around the world. Proprietary laminating techniques, a patented joint system and continual laboratory testing help the company to meet the increasing demands of commercial, contract and residential installations. The Levante Bamboo Cantilever Umbrella is their signature outdoor shade with its gorgeous honey woodgrain canopy assembly, frame and base cover.
Wind tunnel tested
Their bamboo and aluminum market and cantilever umbrellas are challenged to stand up to vigorous wind tunnel testing to ensure that they meet the company's high standards for strength and reliability. If they can weather their extreme conditions, then you can be confident that they'll meet your expectations for your patio or poolside area.
Environmentally responsible
Bambrella is committed to conservation and the sustainability of natural resources. Their bamboo is sourced through FSC® certified forests and all materials used in the production of their umbrellas are 100% recyclable. Additionally, the oils used to finish the wood is low VOC and recycled materials are used for packaging, whenever possible. The company is also a member of:
