Stand out with a splash of colour! Coloured umbrellas add personality, enhance your branding and brighten up any area.

Bright colours are perfect for theme parks, resorts, cafes/bars and childcare centres, while more neutral greys and black colours add a touch of elegance in commercial settings.

Your MakMax umbrella can be upgraded to include an Electrical Ready Pole, which makes it possible to including lighting under your umbrella.

LED lighting options, such as strip lights or small flood lights, are available through our lighting partner supplier. An electrical contractor can install a standard power outlet onto the electrical-ready frame for you to add your own lights, such as festoon or fairy lights.

Note: Electrical Ready Pole requires an electrical connection to the Umbrella footings.

Add your own branding to your umbrella through colours and logos.

The MakMax linking system can be applied to Centra and Leva square models, enabling individual umbrellas to be joined together, providing expanded all-weather shade and shelter. The Centra hexagonal and truncated square models can also be linked in special applications.

The MakMax linking system is created using a separate infill section of membrane that secures underneath the umbrella canopies. A powder-coated aluminum channel runs down the centre of the membrane infill to direct rain-water runoff.

Based on a cantilever design, the Leva model umbrella is ideal for covering pool areas or outdoor dining.

Upgrading to a Swivel or Rotating Boom offers even more shade flexibility by allowing the canopy to move around the support pole by upto 360 degrees.

A swivel boom can also add the option of collapsing the canopy and rotating it out of the way during times when shade is not required.

MakMax Centra and Leva Umbrellas are engineered to withstand average wind-speeds of up to 120km/h. For high-wind zones, such as unsheltered coastal areas or in some city environments where surrounding buildings create a wind-tunnel effect, MakMax can engineer your umbrella for greater wind-loads.

Note: even with a wind-rating-upgraded umbrella, we still recommend closing and securing your umbrella for any severe weather event.

Provide extra protection for your covered area by using blinds or side curtains.

MakMax can recommend a range of third-party supplied options including clear, tinted or a perforated colour PVC blinds for rain and weather protection.
