Solaris Sidepost Umbrella from Shademaker

The Shademaker Solaris Sidepost Umbrella offers adjustable shade for restaurant patios, hotel pool decks and residential outdoor spaces. Its clean aluminum frame complements contemporary furniture without overwhelming smaller seating areas. The offset mast leaves the center beneath the canopy open for dining tables and lounge groups. A galvanized internal mast stem reinforces the frame.

Choose from four canopy configurations with 75–103 square feet of coverage. The 9' and 10' squares complement linear furniture layouts, while the 10' and 11'6 octagons suit individual dining tables and conversational seating groups. For designers coordinating materials across a project, the 10' square offers the widest frame finish selection.

Infinite front-to-back tilt lets you adjust the canopy angle as the sun moves. Solaris also rotates 360° with eight locking positions, so shade can shift between adjacent seating areas without relocating the base. A removable crank handle opens and closes the canopy. When planning the layout, allow room for rotation and tilt as well as guest circulation.

Coordinate the canopy with upholstery, exterior finishes or a hospitality color palette. Awning-grade options include solution-dyed acrylic from Sunbrella® and Treasure Garden Performance. Furniture-grade solution-dyed acrylic is available from Sunbrella®, Outdura® and Tempotest® in a broad selection of colors and patterns. A protective cover is included for use when the umbrella is closed.

For terraces that transition from daytime dining to evening service, consider the Solaris LX. This separate model adds integrated upward lighting beneath a 10' square canopy.

Select the support system to suit the site and canopy size. Infinity is the recommended freestanding base, with Titan and stacked steel Z-Plate bases as alternatives. Concrete and in-ground mount kits provide a permanent option where the umbrella position is fixed.

Solaris has a Wind Rating of 8, corresponding to 38–46 mph, when properly installed with a Shademaker mount kit and the canopy open and horizontal. This rating is a guideline, not a guarantee, and does not apply to freestanding bases. Use freestanding installations only in light winds, and never tilt the canopy in windy conditions. Close and secure the umbrella when winds increase or whenever it is unattended. Wind damage is not covered under warranty.
