The Asta is a cantilever or side post umbrella meaning it has the post on the side as opposed to in the middle. This feature is great as it gives you maximum usability of the umbrella because you can cast the shade where and when you need it most. 

Shelta really has been clever in designing this brilliant new upmarket cantilever umbrella, outshining others that are similar. It is beautifully crafted from marine-grade materials including extruded aluminium castings, with stainless steel fasteners and cabling. The mast is a truly impressive 120 x 76mm section, and all frame components are engineered to achieve a 60km/h wind rating*! The frame is powder coated with a shadowy silver/anthracite combination, matched with high-quality Sunbrella acrylic fabric - the legendary 320gsm solution-dyed acrylic that is absolutely colourfast.

FEATURES

  • Infinite tilt positions - almost variable to 55 degrees
  • 360-degree umbrella rotation
  • 8-position rotate lock via an insertable locking pin on the lower mast
  • Detachable crank lever for opening and closing
  • Retractable LED light bracket on umbrella hub
  • Protective polyester waterproof cover to keep umbrella protected when closed
  • Our favourite feature: The easy-to-use opening mechanism. Wind the lifting handle and the umbrella easily begins to open. Loosen the tilt knob and the arm rises almost automatically gliding into a tilt position. When the umbrella is fully opened, tighten the tilt knob at the desired angle and the umbrella is ready for use.

Shelta Asta Features Infographic

Although this umbrella has tested to 60km/h this is more a comparative indication of the strength of the umbrella and is not to suggest you can leave it open in 60km/h winds. The wind tunnel test has a consistent even wind coming from an optimal direction. Windy conditions are typically unpredictable and gusty. All cantilever umbrellas should be collapsed in breezy conditions. Wind damage is NOT covered by warranty.

FRAME 

The structural aluminium frame is powder-coated with a shadowy silver/anthracite combination. 

INSTALLATION 

This umbrella is available with a bolt-down base or inground base. When using the bolt-down option the area should be a large concrete surface of at least 10cm thick and steel reinforced. The base should be secured with 4 x M10 masonry anchors (sold separately).

For an inground installation, we can supply a specially made base which should be concreted into a hole of approximately 35cm diameter x 80cm depth (assuming firm natural ground). Typically 8 x 20kg bags of concrete are required (Rapidset concrete is not recommended).

Due to its heavy construction, the Asta is not suitable for a movable base option. 

RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES

 

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 

The Asta baseplate has a diameter of 25cm. The 4 countersunk hole centres are 14.2cm and the diameter of the spigot (vertical tube) is 60mm (outside diameter).

FINAL COMMENTS

This is the ideal umbrella for someone looking for a large cantilever umbrella that can be used during breezy conditions. Although it has been tested in a wind tunnel to 60km/h when opened, we strongly recommend using good judgment and closing the umbrella when the wind picks up. The umbrella is more susceptible to wind when in the tilt position and when tilted, the wind rating does not apply. See the warranty tab for more information. 

This is one of the strongest and most sophisticated cantilever umbrellas on the market and with proper care and maintenance, it should look great and provide many years of reliable and enjoyable service. It takes only a short time to learn the correct operation of this magnificent umbrella. You’ll find additional information about this product by using the Tabs at the top of the page.
