The Palmbrella® Story

The Palmbrella® Story

The inspiration for the design of the Palmbrella came in two ways:

Lounging around swimming pools that were lined with palm trees but shade was a problem. The swimming pool area itself was beautiful but the lack of shade made for a hot sweaty, sunburned experience.  

Traveling to tropical beach locations where palm trees on the beach looked like a dream scene from the South Pacific Island. Problem was the shade from the trees was minimal and by end of the day the result was the dreaded sunburn. 

All the sunburns inspired the idea that we could add to one of mother nature's beautiful designs and make it a little more useful. 

We tested multiple fabrication materials for both the support frame and canopy. The final design were materials we ultimately decided were the best we could find for both the support frame and canopy to look nice and stay durable.
