Instant Shade Umbrellas

Umbrellas are the perfect solution to protecting us from the sun’s rays or the rain, but how can we protect them? Our range of instant shade umbrellas are made from water-repellent canvas and are UV treated. When not in use, the umbrellas can be folded neatly away and stored inside your garage or shed will help to preserve the umbrellas for as long as possible. Though they are made from the best materials, the extra protection you provide instant shade umbrellas will keep them in top condition for as long as possible.

Outdoor Furniture Set

When it comes to maintenance for your outdoor sofa set or dining set, utilising a fabric cleaner and vacuum to remove dirt and dust is suitable for a quick clean. For wooden furniture, oil or stain can assist in protecting an outdoor furniture set from the elements, but for maximum protection, store your furniture sets inside. You can also opt for a furniture cover in the case of heavy downpours, to prevent rust and cushions and seat covers from getting soaked.

Furniture Covers

One simple method of prolonging the life of your outdoor furniture and protecting it from the elements is to utilise a furniture cover. Regardless of the size or shape of your furniture piece, our furniture covers are made to fit. We can even create custom covers to ensure to safeguard your outdoor sofa set or umbrella from the weather.
