Outdoor Umbrellas in Brisbane
When you need a covering on top of your head that you can move anywhere in the area and on a budget, you’re looking for an outdoor umbrella. While not providing as much coverage as a shade sail system, an outdoor umbrella is a great shade solution that shields outdoor spaces from harmful UV rays and the harsh Australian climate while adding pizzazz to the property.
We deliver quality large outdoor umbrellas to Brisbane homes and commercial spaces through our partner, Brisbane Giant Umbrellas. They’ve been in the industry for 15 years and have delivered a wide range of outdoor umbrellas to thousands of clients not just in Queensland but all across Australia. You won’t find a more reliable supplier than them.
Our umbrellas are available assembled for easy DIY or we can install.

Outdoor Umbrellas vs. Shade Sails
You may find yourself asking which of the two you should get for your outdoor area. Both options have their pros and cons, but they really shine when used in the proper setting. Here’s a quick cheat sheet to help you paint a much clearer picture.
| Outdoor Umbrella | Shade Sail System | |
| Wide-area rain and sun protection | No | Yes |
| Consumes a vast amount of space | No | Yes |
| Movable from one spot to another | Yes | No |
| Resilient under extreme weather | No* | Yes |
| Can be packed up before a storm | Yes | Yes |
| Easy setup and maintenance | Yes* | No |
| Affordable to set up and maintain | Yes | No |
| Customisable shape design | No | Yes |
| Provides various colour options | Yes | Yes |
| Requires council approval before setup | No | Depends** |
*Heavy-duty umbrellas are built to withstand the harsh Australian climate but can be difficult to set up.
**Depends on local council regulations; commercial establishments are more likely to be required.
Going by this comparison, outdoor umbrellas are great when your property:
- Doesn’t have enough space to accommodate a shade sail
- May be too small to maximise the UV protection benefits of a shade sail system
- Will be more eye-catching if it highlights certain outdoor decor or features
- Only has a small area where people gather around when outdoors
If you still feel divided on the matter, asking a professional is always an option. As a team with thousands of completed jobs providing outdoor umbrellas and shade sails under its belt, we’re more than qualified to help you come to a decision.

Custom Shade Sail Designs
Whether you’re getting one for your home or business, we can accommodate your unique needs for the best shade sail design. Our track record includes thousands of homes, commercial spaces and government establishments across South East QLD. You can trust us with what you wish to see in a custom shade sail.
Shade Sail Posts
Quality shade sail fabric is just half of the equation for a reliable sail shade solution. Shade sail posts must be able to keep the fabric in place for it to be able to do its job. We provide posts and parts made from high-quality Australian steel, supporting your anchored or free-standing shade sail structure while shrugging off the worst of QLD’s climate.
Outdoor Umbrellas
For situations where sun shade structures might be too much, we provide outdoor umbrellas as a great alternative. This works when you only want certain outdoor areas to be protected, such as a patio table or outdoor lounge. Mix and match colours for the canopy and frame.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Being exposed to the elements for the rest of its service life, a shade sail in Brisbane can suffer from dirt and wear and tear. Our team can help with periodic cleaning and inspection for signs of damage to the fabric and the rest of the shade sail system. We advise hiring a professional if you don’t have the tools or time to do it yourself.
