The AKZ cantilever umbrella collection from Treasure Garden will expand for 2015 with the addition of two new sizes and a new, contemporary platinum finish. An 11.5-foot square size and a 10x13- foot rectangular size will join the current AKZ cantilever program, which includes the best-selling 13-foot octagon and the 11-foot octagon and 10-foot square sizes.
Jeff B. Dorough, vice president of sales and marketing for Treasure Garden, says, “The new sizes are in response to the tremendous demand, across the outdoor-living segment, for more large shade options for outdoor design. The ability to provide shade and protection from a single point to an entire area or furniture setting is a top consumer request we are hearing from our retailers everywhere.”
Each umbrella can shade any seating, dining, lounging, or outdoor-gathering space with a full 360-degree rotation from a single installation point, made possible with a foot-pedal control. Further protection from the sun is created by the umbrella’s 18-, 36-, and 54-degree left or right locking tilts. The mast on each unit can retract into a compact space when not in use. An adapter is built into the umbrellas to accommodate the Vega L light, sold separately.
