Ground Delivery is available for smaller products. These will be shipped out via UPS, USPS, or FedEx. Your smaller item(s) will be unloaded from the truck and brought to the front door or left near the front of the home or business. Please allow transit time from once an item has been shipped to the time it will be delivered (1 to 7 business days).

Freight delivery is different than standard UPS, FedEx or US Mail. Our standard freight delivery service is curbside. If threshold /inside delivery is needed please contact our showroom and note that additional charges may apply.

Freight handlers are not authorized to perform any assembly services nor can they put it in the space of your choice.

For residential deliveries, you will be contacted by the shipping carrier to schedule a delivery appointment. Most companies offer appointment windows (usually 2-4 hours) between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm EDT, Monday through Friday.

If you are ordering a very large item, please keep in mind that you may need several people to help move it to the final destination.

To determine if your product requires assembly, check under the Shipping Information tab on the product page.

A cantilever or offset umbrella may be your answer!

A Cantilever Patio umbrella, also known as an Offset or Side Pole umbrella, differs from a typical umbrella because it is suspended in the air and supported by a freestanding pole on the side of an outdoor patio area instead of the middle.

This versatile shade solution comes in a myriad of shapes and sizes, pole materials, fabrics and features, including LED lighting. Some have tilting features allowing the canopy to move left and right, forwards and backwards or even rotate 360 degrees! Cantilever umbrellas range from between 9′ -13′ in diameter, come in square, round, octagon and rectangular shapes and are suited for many seating and dining areas.

At UmbrellaSpecialist.com we have a wide variety of cantilever umbrellas. Let one of our Umbrella Specialists help you choose the perfect shade solution for your outdoor area.
