Shadowspec® Retreat™ Wall Mounted Umbrella
Maximise Shade Without Sacrificing Space
In Auckland, outdoor areas are often compact—balconies, decks, and patios where space matters. The Retreat™ umbrella is designed specifically for these environments, mounting directly to a wall so you get full shade without sacrificing valuable floor space.
With the ability to rotate, tilt, and extend, it adapts throughout the day to follow the sun—keeping your space comfortable from morning through to late afternoon.
Built using marine-grade materials and engineered in New Zealand, it’s made to handle coastal conditions while maintaining a clean, architectural look.
Whether you’re shading a small outdoor dining area, a balcony, or a commercial space, the Retreat™ is a practical, high-end solution that maximises usability without adding clutter.
No base, no clutter
Wall-mounted design keeps your outdoor area clear—perfect for small patios, balconies, and tight spaces.
Follow the sun all day
Rotate, tilt, and extend the umbrella to maintain shade as the sun moves.
Effortless to use
Gas-assisted opening means smooth, quick operation with minimal effort—no cranks or heavy lifting.
Compact when not in use
Folds neatly against the wall, keeping your space clean and unobstructed.
Built for NZ conditions
Marine-grade materials resist corrosion, wind, and sun for long-term durability.

Innovative Features for Superior Outdoor Shade
