Fiberbuilt Bridgewater Umbrella

It is a traditional, manual system where you push the umbrella hub up the pole until it reaches the desired height, then insert a metal pin through the pre-drilled hole to lock it in place. It is a simple, reliable design that avoids the mechanical failure points often found in crank-operated umbrellas.

Yes, teak is naturally resistant to moisture, rot, and insects due to its high oil content, making it an excellent choice for marine or poolside environments. Over time, the wood will naturally weather to a soft, silvery-gray patina if left untreated.

The canopy has an 8-foot diameter, which provides a generous amount of shade for a standard bistro set or two lounge chairs. Since the total height is 90 inches, ensure you have enough clearance if placing it near low-hanging structures.

Because this is a freestanding umbrella, you will need a heavy-duty base to ensure stability, especially in windy conditions. We recommend a base that weighs at least 50 pounds to securely support the teak pole and canopy.

To keep the color vibrant, gently hose down the canopy with water monthly to prevent dirt from embedding into the fabric. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, ensuring the fabric is completely air-dried before closing the umbrella to prevent mildew.
