The canopy is made of a solution dyed Solefin™ that is colorfast is backed by a 30-Month Warranty. A single wind vent at the top of the canopy facilitates airflow, allowing air to escape freely and preventing the umbrella from inverting during windy days. The clean, modern styling of the canopy makes it an attractive addition to any backyard. A rugged anodized aluminum pole with many versatile features supports the Santorini umbrella.

An umbrella or parasol (sometimes colloquially, gamp, brolly, or bumbershoot) is a canopy designed to protect precipitation or sunlight. The term parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun, and umbrella refers to a device more suited to protect from rain. Often the difference is the material; a parasol would sometimes not be waterproof. Parasols are often meant to be fixed to one point and often used with patio tables or other outdoor furniture, or on the beach for shelter from the sun. Umbrellas are almost exclusively hand-held portable devices... parasols can also be hand-held.

The umbrella usually symbolizes the canopy of the heavens, shelter, and protection. The parasol is a symbol of the SUN, and an umbrella is a symbol of the shade. It is often an emblem of power and dignity.
