The Savannah rotates 360 degrees and locks into place with an easy to operate foot pedal. The entire canopy tilts with a strong and easy to use mechanism. When the umbrella is folded down the canopy retracts back against the main post making storage a breeze.
We think The Savannah is the perfect umbrella for those looking for ready-made shade umbrella at an affordable price. The Savannah is made from rust-resistant aluminium with marine grade fittings, perfect for swimming pool areas. The oval-shaped yacht mast is powder coated anthracite black and is covered with a premium grade O’bravia canvas.
No central pole means no worries and maximum usable space.
"The Savannah" is a longstanding favourite at Shade Australia and over the years we’ve sold thousands of these umbrellas to customers right around Australia.
BEWARE: Our "Savannah" cantilever is made with premium quality "O'Bravia" Fabric which gives a 99% UV Block (UPF 50) and has a 3 Year Fade Resistance Warranty. "Olefin" fabric has a UPF 20 to 30 and has a 1 Year Fade Resistance Warranty.
****Quick Comparison****
"Savannah versus Asta"
The Savannah is available in 4 sizes: 3.5m Octagonal, 3.8m Octagonal, 3x4m Rectangular, 3.3m Square
The Asta is available in 3 Sizes: 4.0m Octagonal or 3.5m Square and 3x4m Rectangular.
The Savannah has O'Bravia Fabric, The Asta has Sunbrella Fabric.
The main difference is that the Asta is made with a heavier duty frame than the Savannah. Both umbrellas are cantilever in design and can rotate, tilt and easily fold away. The Asta requires a bolt-down installation whereas the Savannah can be mounted on an above ground base.

Umbrella Overview - Video
Fabric
O'Bravia Fabric is a premium quality canvas made specifically for outdoor applications. It is manufactured using a special process which locks the colour deep into the fibres of the fabric to prevent fading. It is highly water resistant and has excellent UV protection of 98% or a UPF of 50. O'Bravia Canvas is the perfect blend of high UPF, water resistance, fade resistance and price. It is far superior to other fabrics such as Olefin and polyester. It compares favourably with more expensive fabrics such as Sunbrella but doesn't come with the high price tag.

*Please note: Colours may vary slightly between screens and the actual product.
When selecting your canopy colour be mindful if you have light coloured pavers such as Travertine or Sandstone of the glare factor. Natural absorbs a lot more glare than Eggshell and you don't want to need your sunglasses on to sit under your new umbrella!
Frame Colour
The Savannah features a graphite powder coated colour frame.
Installation
The Savannah comes with a range of options for installation.
- An on-ground crossbar base and a bolt down baseplate are a standard inclusion. (Shown below). The on ground base requires the use of 6-8 ballast blocks or pavers (not included). These can be easily sourced from a hardware or nursery supply store and need to be 450-500mm square.
- The bolt down baseplate can be secured to a concrete slab. It requires 4 anchor bolts which can be supplied by Shade Australia as an optional extra (we recommend and supply Hilti Anchor bolts for their ease of use and strength). Use Hilti HSA-F M8x100mm if you are bolting directly to a 100mm thick reinforced slab. If you have pavers on top of the slab we recommend Hilti HSA-F M8x130mm bolts.
- An optional Extra Large Resin Base with retractable wheels gives the umbrella added flexibility. If you wish to move the umbrella around and have a flat surface, the Wheeled Resin Base can be a great addition. It is also available in the Large Resin Base (No Wheels). The Resin Base is required to be filled with ballast before use. We recommend using sand or blue metal (not water).
- Shade Australia is proud to offer an in-ground base option made especially for the Savannah umbrella. This is a galvanised in-ground base which is set into a footing around 450mm dia by 800mm deep depending on the soil type.

Umbrella Tips & Tricks
How to secure a Cantilever Umbrella
Cantilever umbrellas need more weight than centre post umbrellas to make them stable. Some really big cantilever umbrellas like the Asta and Revolvashade need to be bolted down or installed with an in-ground base. Some of the medium-sized umbrellas like the Savannah and Lynden can be used with movable bases filled with either water or gravel.

- My favorite Umbrella! Review by Henrietta F

We put this umbrella over the table in the bbq area and everyone has told us how good it looks! We got the charcoal ridge color (to match the table) and we love the way it rotates and moves, we can block out the sun really easily while we eat, and we don't need to worry about it because it's out of the way.

Our Savannah is easy to use and looks amazing by our poolside, very suited for our intended purpose! Very happy customer. The information on the website was also extremely helpful.

The umbrella was easy to assemble. Once it's up, it's sturdy and easy to operate. We have it over our pool and extends out and shades a good portion of the pool. I would recommend this umbrella patio over lawn furniture. Shelta is oldest and most trusted umbrella brand in Australia that was one of the main reasons we didn't hesitate before spending that kind of money.Product Information Overall Value Ease of Ordering

I researched about Cantilever Umbrellas for quite some time and this particular umbrella met most of my expectations. It does everything 360° rotation around which was important to me. However, it also come with double warranty great add-on.Ease of Ordering Product Information Overall Value
The umbrella was shipped in a well packaged box and when I opened it everything was in in tact and undamaged. The units directions for assembly were clear and easy to understand. Assembly took less then 30mins.
The rotating, lowering and foot pedal are easy and effortless.
This is a quality unit that is well worth the money. The umbrella fabric is UPF 50+ substantial and blocks 99% of UV rays. I will be interested to see how it stands up under a rain shower. I also bought extra cover that will adequately cover the unit when in storage.
All in all, Shelta has manufactured, what I consider, a quality umbrella that should perform and last for years if properly taken care of. (Posted on 9/26/2016) - Great for the price Review by Roger

We purchased Savannah cantilever umbrella 2 months ago. They arrived in excellent condition and were easy to set up. We purchased Shelta's extra resin with this umbrella so its easy to move around. They have held up really well in windy conditions' till now on the base.Overall Value Ease of Ordering Product Information
They are easy to open and close and the tilt is easy to operate. The free covers that were included is easy to take off and put on.
We are really happy with our purchase and are considering buying LED light and heavy duty cantilever umbrella cover.

This cantilever umbrella is amazingly stable and steady. There have been some down pour of rain with high winds. This umbrella championed it all the way. The last cantilever I had, simply broke after high winds. I also liked how good the canopy is holding the colour it still looks new after 1 years.

Write Your Own Review
Can I install this umbrella myself?
Sure, the umbrella comes fully assembled ready for installation. If you’re bolting the umbrella down to a concrete slab, you need to drill 4 holes and use masonry anchors (not supplied) to bolt it down. If you’re planning to install it into a grassed area, you need to dig a hole and pour a concrete footing. Once the concrete sets, you can bolt the umbrella to it.
If you order the optional wheeled resin base, you need to supply the gravel yourself (we recommend blue metal which can be purchased in 20kg bags for about $10 per bag, you need 120kgs of gravel). We have easy to follow instructions for how to attach the umbrella to this base.
Do I need any other bits and pieces to install it?
Yes. If you’re bolting down to a concrete slab, we recommend you purchase some anchor bolts from us when you purchase your umbrella.
If your installing on-ground, you need to purchase 6-8 Resinstone Ballast Blocks or pavers, 45-50cm square.
If you’re purchasing the wheeled resin base you need to purchase 120kgs of gravel or sand.
Can I leave this umbrella up all the time?
No, we don’t’ recommend it.
Although it is a strong umbrella and is tolerant to breezy conditions, it is always a good idea to fold it away when not in use, just in case a strong wind comes along and damages it.
What accessories do you recommend I purchase with this umbrella?
The umbrella does come with a polyester protection cover but it’s pretty light weight. If you really want to give your new umbrella the best possible protection we recommend you purchase a Large Cantilever Protection Cover. This will fit neatly on your new umbrella and give it the best possible protection.
A LED light is also a handy accessory to purchase. It simply clips onto a central drop-down arm.
