Alterra Centre by ShadeArt

A Lightweight, yet strong and durable centre post. Ideal for commercial operators - will outlast most, if not all the competition.

Alterra Centre is ShadeArt’s durable and long-lasting commercial grade, centre post, patio parasol and garden umbrella, designed for in-table or to be free standing on the patio, the deck or around the pool. At home in a residential or a commercial setting and there is no longer the need to replace parasols or umbrellas every year or two. With Alterra Centre, you can count on a much longer lifetime for your parasol while creating a stylish and inviting outdoor area.

Alterra Centre started life as our immensely popular Luna centre post parasol and umbrella and now proudly joins the range of ShadeArt parasols and umbrellas which are fully made in the United Kingdom using the latest UK design, engineering, and manufacturing. 


Alterra Centre is made from marine-grade materials for longevity – marine anodized aluminium means no rust, no paint to flake and no timber to break. Further, we provide the choice of marine anodised aluminium or new, timber look aluminium mast. This simple fold side post has the strength and stability to cope with high winds and the elements of a coastal environment. The optional vented or louver panelled canopies facilitate airflow and provide even greater stability and style.

Available with a choice of pedestal base, hinge lid ground anchor or spigot. Can be fixed to a wooden or concrete deck or used in sand and is light enough for easy stowage and can be put out daily in a resort or café setting. The nautical cam cleat/hoist opening system means it is easy to open and close. 

Comes in a variety of shapes and sizes – square, rectangle and octagonal. The canopies are tailored from premium quality solution dyed European acrylic canvas which is available in a wide range of colours. These can be printed with your brand or logo.
