SECTION 3
- ASSEMBLY, INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
STAGE 1
UMBRELLA LOCATION
PLANNING YOUR UMBRELLA LOCATION:
Special care is needed when selecting the best location for your umbrella. Some key points to keep in mind are:
1.
Check that your chosen installation position will give you optimal coverage of the area you’re looking to shade.
2. Consider the direction the sun travels during key months of the year also. If unsure, we recommend downloading a
free-to-use sun-tracker App to your smartphone such as:
“Sun position and path” by siranet
.
3. If you are installing a Unity Uno, Duo or Trio and wish to add additional umbrella Frames to your Unity Mast at a
later date, ensure that you position your umbrella to allow room for this.
NOTE: For assistance with orientating your umbrella correctly, see configuration details in
