Mast & frame
What the canopy stands on, and what it is built from.

Centre post

High-grade aluminium; pole 84 mm in diameter with a 5 mm wall; in a choice of RAL colours

Mechanism
How this piece operates.

Crank mechanism or motor, optionally with a solar panel or the WMS radio system

How it works
How a centre-pole umbrella works.

A single pole rises through the centre of the canopy and carries its weight, and the wind load, down to the base. The canopy opens and closes along that one support; on a tilting model it also tilts from it.

Wind
The maker’s own rating.

Tested in a wind tunnel by structural engineers; Caravita states that the 3 × 3 m version is “wind-stable up to 100 km/h”

Base pairing
Bases and fittings for this piece.
  • From Caravita’s range of parasol bases and ground sleeves
Fabric

Awning fabric, 100% acrylic, in more than 120 colours; fireproof and PVC fabrics as options

Replacement canopy
Canopies and frames for this umbrella.

A torn or faded canopy is replaced on its own, made to this umbrella’s model and size and supplied for fitting on site. A damaged frame is replaced with a new frame or a new umbrella.

Custom
Beyond the standard range.

Casualife customises umbrellas to a project’s own requirements, not only the standard range. Selected ranges are made to measure — canopies built to a site’s own shape and size, poles produced to the wall they mount on — and a canopy can be configured by shape, size, fabric and frame colour. Share a brief with our Custom Studio and we will confirm what’s possible.

Made-to-measure canopies

The Freestyle line is built to a site’s own shape and size rather than picked from a fixed size table — up to 7 m along one side and 36 m² of shade, provided the shorter side is at least half the longer one.

Poles built to the wall

The Amalfi’s wall-mounted pole is produced to order against the wall’s own dimensions, including installation height and crank height, rather than supplied as a fixed-length stock part.
