Skyspan Alfresco

The Skyspan Alfresco is a lightweight, portable commercial umbrella designed for venues that open and close their umbrellas regularly throughout the day. Easy to lift, simple to operate and engineered for everyday use, the Alfresco is ideal for cafés, restaurants, pool areas and outdoor dining spaces that need flexible shade they can reposition or store quickly.

A robust rope and pulley system allows staff to raise and lower the canopy with minimal effort. The umbrella is engineered for wind speeds up to 60 kilometres per hour while open and remains comfortable to sit under in breezy weather, giving staff plenty of time to retract it if conditions change. This combination of light handling and dependable stability makes the Alfresco one of the most practical umbrellas for high turnover hospitality environments.

The corrosion-resistant aluminium frame is reinforced with marine-grade stainless steel componentry. Concealed catenary cables strengthen the canopy and help maintain its shape, improving performance and longevity. The architectural grade PVC canopy is UV resistant, heat reflective and waterproof, giving customers a cool and comfortable space to enjoy food and drinks outdoors. The fabric is pre-tensioned to prevent stretching and is coated for easy cleaning in busy commercial settings.

Weighing between 10 and 16 kilograms depending on size, the Alfresco is genuinely portable and simple to install. It can be used with in-ground sockets, base plates, concrete bases or the Skyspan Cube system, which allows venue staff to roll the umbrella into new positions as needed. Corporate branding options are also available for a professional, cohesive look.
