Yes — all Tempest outdoor umbrellas we sell are professionally installed, whether in-ground, bolted to decks or patios, or freestanding.

The Tempest is specifically engineered for commercial outdoor settings – restaurants, cafés, universities or any large outdoor area requiring robust weather protection.

At Lidgard Shades we offer the Tempest in two commercial sizes: 4.0 m square and 5.0 m square canopies.

The umbrella is rated to withstand wind gusts of up to 80-100 km/h when properly installed.

You can choose between a heavy-duty PVC or a premium solution-dyed acrylic canvas. The latter offers superior colour-fastness and UPF protection.

You get a 3-year structural frame warranty and a 5-year fabric warranty.

The Tempest uses a telescopic mast and arms so it can close safely over outdoor furniture (e.g., tables). This design makes it practical for commercial settings where opening/closing must be efficient.

Yes — for both 4.0 m and 5.0 m models, the umbrella closes above a table height of 75 cm.

Yes — it’s built with marine-grade materials and engineered for durability in demanding conditions. 

Regular checks are recommended – e.g., closing in high winds, cleaning the canopy fabric to avoid staining, checking fixings for corrosion in marine-exposed sites. At Lidgard Shades we can provide maintenance advice and periodic inspections.
