Umbrella fabrics

All our umbrella fabrics are highly resistant to UV radiation and fading. Although - as with all materials left outdoors - slight discoloration is unavoidable over time. To make sure that the shade fabric lasts for many years, it’s important to protect it with the supplied cover when not in use.
