Get the Right Shade This Summer with Shelta Umbrellas at Tucker BBQs
When summer arrives, outdoor living becomes the heart of the Australian home. Long lunches, afternoon drinks, family barbecues and evenings spent entertaining are all better when you have a comfortable place to escape the sun.

Centre-Pole Umbrellas: Classic Shade for Dining Areas
For an outdoor dining setting, a traditional centre-pole umbrella can be an excellent choice. Positioned through the centre of a suitable table or alongside an outdoor dining setting, these umbrellas provide a familiar, symmetrical look while creating a dedicated shaded area.
Tucker BBQs stocks a selection of Shelta centre-pole umbrellas in different shapes, sizes, canopy fabrics and frame materials. The collection includes timber and aluminium frame options and a range of canopy fabrics.

Need More Flexibility? Consider a Cantilever Umbrella
If flexibility is important, a cantilever umbrella offers a different approach to outdoor shade. Unlike a traditional centre-pole umbrella, a cantilever design positions the supporting frame to one side of the canopy.
This can make it easier to shade an area without placing a pole directly in the middle of your dining table or lounge setting. Cantilever umbrellas can be particularly useful when you're designing a flexible outdoor area where furniture needs to move around during entertaining.
The Shelta Palm Beach 280cm Square Umbrella is a cantilever design with an aluminium frame, 360-degree rotation and variable tilt. Tucker BBQs states that the umbrella uses Shelta's O'Bravia fabric and is available in four colours.
For an even larger shaded area, the Shelta Palm Beach 330cm Octagonal Umbrella provides a larger octagonal canopy and the flexibility of a cantilever design.
Choose the Right Size for Your Space
One of the most important decisions when buying an outdoor umbrella is choosing the appropriate size.
Start by considering what you want to shade. A compact umbrella can work well over a small table or seating area, while a larger canopy may be better suited to an expansive outdoor lounge or entertaining zone.
Tucker BBQs' outdoor umbrella collection includes models in a wide range of dimensions. Before choosing, measure your available space and think about where the umbrella will sit when fully opened. Remember to allow room around the canopy and consider how the position of the sun changes throughout the day.

Style Matters Too
Your outdoor umbrella is likely to become a prominent feature of your entertaining area, so it's worth considering how it complements your existing furniture.
Shelta umbrellas available through Tucker BBQs come in a range of colours and styles. Neutral tones can complement contemporary outdoor furniture, while stronger colours can add a distinctive feature to your alfresco space.
Timber-framed umbrellas can bring warmth and character to an outdoor setting, while aluminium-framed designs can provide a contemporary look.
Create a Comfortable Backyard for Summer Entertaining
The best outdoor spaces are designed around how you actually use them.
If you love hosting barbecues, think about positioning your shade near the dining area so guests can stay comfortable while food is being prepared. If your backyard is centred around a pool, consider where people naturally sit between swims. For a lounge area, a cantilever umbrella may give you the flexibility to shade different parts of the setting.
You can also think beyond summer lunches. A well-designed outdoor area can become a place for morning coffee, reading, relaxing with friends or enjoying dinner outdoors.
The Shelta Lynden 330cm Octagonal Cantilever Umbrella is designed for larger outdoor areas. Tucker BBQs describes the model as a 330cm octagonal cantilever umbrella with 360-degree rotation, variable tilt and a protective cover.
Don't Forget the Umbrella Base
Choosing the right base is an important part of creating a practical outdoor shade setup. Tucker BBQs stocks a range of outdoor umbrella bases , including portable, concrete, granite and steel options.
Always check the product specifications and recommended base options for your chosen umbrella before purchasing.
