Alterra

Alterra - Simple Fold by ShadeArt UK

Alterra - ShadeArt’s newest side post parasol or umbrella is designed for the volume commercial customer. Alterra is made with a light weight, yet high strength, alloy mast, boom, and canopy frame with a satin marine anodized finish. The Alterra mast and boom can also be finished with one of over thirty optional timber colours from our amazing new timber look – genuine looks and beauty without the maintenance. To extend Alterra’s life, the winch and steel connections are all from high grade stainless steel.

Alterra incorporates a unique simple fold boom which provides excellent wind stability, while also being easy to fold for storage when not required. Altera is especially good for between seasons as the canopy frame can be unbolted and stored out of the weather with the mast and boom folded discretely in situ. Thus, minimising canopy damage, wear and especially grime and dirt.

For maximum shade cover on hot or sunny days, Alterra includes the ShadeArt rotation lever lock, so the canopy can be rotated with ease as the sun moves throughout the day.
