Multi Vent



Multi Vent Canopy Description:

Our patented multi vent canopy is an anti-wind system with six overlapping fabric strips. This solution puts an end to the “sail effect” caused by the wind blowing against the canopy permitting the air to move through uninterrupted. This refined design offers unequaled stability when opposing wind thrust. It’s state of the art configuration keeps the umbrella incredibly stable in strong winds while allowing the air to be directed through the canopy allowing for a more aerated cover, keeping your area cooler. This technique does not, in any way, compromise the waterproofing characteristics of the umbrella. The sophisticated design gives a refined look exclusive to our umbrella collection and enhances their primary function as the essential accessory for outdoor spaces of great importance.
