Free Up Your Patio Space with the Shadowspec Retreat™ Wall Mounted Umbrella
When resort managers & hosts switched to the Shadowspec Retreat™ wall mounted cantilever umbrella, they immediately eliminated one of their biggest maintenance headaches.
Imagine your guests enjoying a nice meal and cocktail on your restaurant patio, only to look up and see brown rust spots and faded fabric on your overhead umbrellas. That single moment can undo thousands spent on creating a premium atmosphere.
The Shadowspec Retreat™ wall mounted umbrella transforms your commercial property by providing luxury, sustainable shade. As a commercial patio umbrella, it makes the right impression year after year.
The difference is in the materials. Shadowspec uses infinitely recyclable T6 aluminum and 316 marine-grade stainless steel for all components, ensuring your umbrellas remain pristine even in environments where others quickly deteriorate.
Manufactured in New Zealand, where UV levels are among the world's highest, these umbrellas withstand conditions that would turn red vehicles pink in six months. When lesser umbrellas would be heading to landfills, Shadowspec Retreat™ maintains its structural integrity and vibrant appearance.
How the Shadowspec Wall Mounted Cantilever Umbrella Follows the Sun All Day
Never chase the shade again. The Shadowspec Retreat™ follows the sun's movement through a unique combination of rotation, tilt, and extension capabilities.
The umbrella rotates up to 45° when wall-mounted, extends an additional 18" from the wall when needed, and tilts 16° forward to block low-angle sun—keeping your property comfortable from morning until evening without moving furniture.
Deploy Commercial-Grade Shade in Just Seconds
Property managers and homeowners alike appreciate how quickly the Shadowspec Retreat™ responds when guests need protection.
The ShadowLift™ gas-assisted technology makes opening virtually effortless, while the integrated ShadowRoll™ system ensures smooth, consistent deployment every time.

Extending Your Umbrella's Lifespan
Outdoor umbrellas face constant exposure to elements and weather conditions. Follow these maintenance tips to maximize the durability of your investment:
- Regularly remove loose debris such as dirt and fallen leaves from the umbrella canopy.
- For seasonal storage (particularly winter months), place your umbrella in a dry, wind-protected area. Ensure the canopy is completely dry before storage to prevent mold and mildew development. Store in an upright position to protect the fabric from pest damage.
- While the premium acrylic fabric in your Shadowspec Umbrella has built-in mildew resistance, occasional deep cleaning may be necessary for stubborn stains from bird droppings, pollen, or environmental dirt.
Deep Cleaning Process
For stubborn stains or mild mildew:
- Create a cleaning solution using:
- 8 oz of bleach
- 2 oz of mildew-specific soap
- 4 liters of clean water - Apply solution to the affected area and allow it to penetrate the fabric.
- Gently scrub using a soft-bristled brush.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Let the fabric air dry completely.
Important: Before applying this cleaning solution to the entire canopy, test on a small, inconspicuous area first. For severe staining, the bleach quantity may be increased cautiously. This solution is formulated for high-quality acrylic fabrics like those used in Shadowspec umbrellas. Using it on different or lower-quality fabrics may cause damage. When in doubt, contact our support team for specific recommendations.
1. What are the mounting options?
We understand that every outdoor space is unique, so we provide several mounting solutions for our umbrellas:
Free-standing Base
Available for most umbrella models, this portable option allows you to reposition your shade throughout the day as the sun moves.
Pro tip: Select free-standing base models can be upgraded with heavy-duty castor wheels for improved mobility and swivel functionality.
Wall Mount
Available for the Retreat™, Shadowspec Unity™, and Shadowspec Serenity™ models. This option attaches to existing walls or structures without compromising waterproof membranes on rooftops or balconies.
Important: Ensure your mounting point is supported by a sturdy wall or pillar. We recommend consulting a builder if you have any concerns about structural support.
In-ground Anchor
Ideal for new construction or areas where you can excavate to cement the anchor in place. Some models include rotation capabilities with this mounting option.
Pro tip: When ordering with an in-ground anchor, we'll provide detailed instructions for hole preparation and concrete specifications so you can prepare your site in advance.
Surface Plate
Perfect for securing to decks, concrete surfaces, or patios. Simply bolt the plate to your surface and attach your umbrella spigot.
Note: Surface plates require specific bolts and support depending on location. Consult with our shade specialists when ordering to ensure proper installation.
Shadowspec Retreat Wall Bracket
Specifically designed for the Retreat™ model for wall mounting applications.
2. Who can install my umbrella?
You can install your Shadowspec Umbrella in as little as 20 minutes by following the installation manual.
If you need help with installation, we're here to support you.
We'll coordinate directly with your installer to provide any necessary guidance during installation. For assistance, please email contact@resortsdepot.com or call us. When scheduling installation for surface plates or in-ground anchors, we recommend a preliminary site assessment to ensure accurate pricing.
3. What pavers do I need for the free-standing base?
For Shadowspec Serenity™ and Shadowspec Unity™:
You'll need 12 pavers measuring 400mm x 400mm x 40mm (or 16" x 16" x 1.6"), available at major building supply retailers like Home Depot or Bunnings.
Important: Using fewer than the specified 12 pavers will invalidate your warranty coverage.
4. Do I need a protection cover?
Yes, we strongly recommend using the Protection Cover whenever your umbrella isn't in use. Most Shadowspec Umbrellas include Protection Covers as standard equipment because they significantly extend the lifespan of your investment.
Speak with our shade consultants about protection cover options if one isn't included with your specific model.
5. What is the wind rating on my umbrella?
Wind resistance is an important factor for any outdoor umbrella.
Our umbrellas are rated to Beaufort 5, which equates to winds of 29-38 kph (19-24 mph). For perspective, a 35 kph (21 mph) wind is strong enough to tip over a full wine glass and pull a newspaper from your grasp.
A good rule of thumb: if weather conditions feel uncomfortable for you to be outside, it's time to close your Shadowspec umbrella, secure it with the protection cover, and head indoors.
