Options & Accessories

Make your umbrellas as unique as the rest of your outdoor space. FiberBuilt encourages you to create a look using
multiple fabrics, functional elements and decorative adornments to enhance your umbrella’s canopy and improve
their performance.

Designed around your property

Go beyond a standard solid-color canopy.

Multiple fabrics, alternating panels, contrasting vents, decorative edges and branded details can transform an umbrella into an integrated part of the property’s design.

FiberBuilt also offers functional options that can improve performance in challenging environments and mounting solutions for beaches, decks, patios and permanent installations.

FiberBuilt custom umbrella canopy design options

Canopy patterns

Build the color story from the top down.

Combine two or more fabrics through banding, contrasting vents or alternating canopy panels to coordinate the umbrella with furniture, architecture and property branding.
