Reflecting perfection In nature, structure and beauty are intrinsically tied. Veins and roots provide stability for breathtaking foliage, and the intricate petals of a flower are captivating in full bloom. Together, these organic components cultivate tranquility and inspiration. Nature’s sophisticated design is mirrored in every ShadeScapes shade umbrella through the synergy of durable construction and stunning aesthetics. The sleek, marine-grade materials and vibrant, fade-free fabric provide long-lasting strength and allure. Carefully engineered for optimum enjoyment, all the elements of a ShadeScapes shade umbrella integrate to form perfect outdoor compositions. We invite you to explore the exquisite features of ShadeScapes shade solutions to see why only nature compares.

Shademakers The Shademakers line showcases a complete spectrum of sophisticated beauty engineered for flexibility and longevity. Designed by New Zealand yachting captain Russell Bond, the Shademakers brand features six innovative styles and a myriad of sizes for a total of 32 distinct shade solutions.

Engineered for Longevity

Perfect Visual Overtones

Shademakers are carefully crafted to withstand the elements and provide longlasting coverage. Durable and saltwaterresistant anodized aluminum frames, combined with marine-grade components and stainless-steel hardware, ensure stability and pleasurable use year after year. A variety of mounting options allow for installation almost anywhere.

In addition to fabric color, an umbrella’s finish and canopy shape can affect the overall appearance of an outdoor setting. The Shademakers line offers a silver finish that coordinates with cool tones and a custom bronze finish that harmonizes well with warm tones. Likewise, all umbrellas are available in square and octagonal canopy shapes, enabling customers to complement the predominant geometric patterns in their outdoor areas.

Complementary Configurations Because of their architectural design qualities, Shademakers provide a sense of visual congruence within elegant environments. Select from sidepost, centerpost, and top-mount umbrellas to create a perfect shadescape in any setting. With the greatest range of flexibility, the sidepost umbrella rotates 360 degrees for continuous shade coverage as the angle of sunlight changes throughout the day.

Canopy Customization Some Shademakers feature additional customization options, including extra wind vents, valances, screen-printed logos, and drop sides. Several canopies can even link together to form larger shaded areas.

Impressions in Fabric The fabric on a Shademakers canopy always makes a lasting impression. Resistant to fading, mold, and mildew, the 100% solution-dyed acrylic canvas repels water, oil, and dirt to ensure enduring beauty. More than 100 solids and tweeds, in addition to striped patterns, help distinguish any patio, pool, or garden.

Perfectly Shaped Shademakers are available in square and octagonal canopy shapes.

Three Styles Three Shademakers feature the sidepost design: the Isla, the Liberty, and the Resort. These umbrellas rotate 360 degrees around the “mast”, creating flexible, all-day shade without needing to move furniture or the base.

All three sidepost designs feature proprietary anodized aluminum extrusions and extra-thick

Paraflex™ The Paraflex line exhibits artful flair within a versatile design from Belgium. Uniquely innovative, Paraflex umbrellas can mount directly onto a wall, a streamlined pole, or a telescopic pole that can accommodate a shade bouquet of multiple canopies.

Flexible Shade Positioning The primary feature of the Paraflex™ design is the ingenious, six-foot-long umbrella arm and holder. This unique centerpiece functions much like a human arm, allowing for almost infinite positioning. Two hinges and adjustable tracks enable twisting, tilting, variable heights, and 360 degrees of rotation for completely unprecedented shade coverage. Robust Design The rotating arm and holder and all other Paraflex components are crafted from durable, anodized aluminum and marinegrade hardware to resist saltwater and provide long-lasting shade year after year. Because of their flexible construction, all Paraflex umbrella designs can withstand light to moderate winds. Shade for Any Space

Graceful Groupings Attach multiple umbrellas to a single pole.

Paraflex umbrellas enhance any setting with exceptional detail and refined styling. The wall-mount design bolts to a wall or support beam, literally adjoining the architecture and saving valuable floor space. This shade solution is perfect for any area but is especially suited for constricted urban patios, small gardens, or other areas where space is limited.

The pole-mount design supports single canopies or clever, expansive clusters of up to five canopies. Arrange the coverage to create customizable shadescapes in any area, from tranquil gardens to playful patios. Easy Installation The Paraflex design ensures that installation often only requires one person. Because of their lighter weight, a single homeowner or groundskeeper can easily install, reposition, clean, and remove these umbrellas as needed. Color Guard Paraflex umbrellas are available in either a silver or bronze finish and a myriad of canopy color choices. Select from eight standard machine-washable Texsilk® olefin colors or 12 standard Sunbrella® acrylic colors. Specialty-made canopies are also available in the full range of Sunbrella colors. All fabrics are 100% solution-dyed, waterrepellent, and resistant to UV rays, mold, and mildew for fade-free beauty. Order additional fabric yardage to create matching cushions and accessories.

Space-Saving Design

Long-Lasting Construction

Any load-bearing wall or support beam of almost any material can hold a Paraflex™ wall-mount umbrella. Perfect for all locations and especially ideal for tight areas, these shade solutions become part of the architecture but offer more shade flexibility than a simple awning. The rotating arm and holder can remain against the wall or extend outward to provide shade. With the Paraflex wallmount, achieve ample shade covering anywhere — especially perfect for sidewalk cafes, condo balconies, and small city gardens.

The Paraflex wall-mount umbrella features all marine-grade materials. Guaranteeing longevity, the 20-micron extruded anodized aluminum frame resists saltwater and natural elements. The UV-resistant components and highest-grade stainless-steel hardware bolster the design’s strength and durability. Like all ShadeScapes shade solutions, Paraflex umbrellas feature proprietary extrusions and specially engineered central hubs and connectors.

For months they searched for an umbrella that offered both beauty and durability. They eventually discovered Shademakers, but the product line was unavailable in North America. Knowing that others would benefit from this remarkable brand, the Edmondsons decided to import the umbrellas themselves. ShadeScapes later expanded to include the Paraflex line, and the Edmondsons continue their mission to provide the world’s most exceptional shade solutions.
