Enjoy your flowers longer by protecting them from strong sun and hard rain. Our unique garden umbrellas add a touch of whimsy to the garden while also filling a vital role. Functional and beautiful, these umbrellas are custom crafted exclusively for us using traditional techniques.
Here at Cricket Hill Garden, we use these umbrellas for 5-6 weeks at peony time, and then clean and store them for later use. We have also used them to protect new transplants from wilting or burning in the sun. Customers report using them for shading hydrangeas, roses and many other tender flowering plants.
Our new and improved umbrella has a finished wooden pole with an overall 63.5 inches tall. This pole is of two-piece construction, with a threaded brass fitting in the middle which allows for compact storage. The umbrella canopy diameter is 36 inches.
The umbrella material is a water resistant nylon. The color of the fabric is pale ivory.
The overall craftsmanship and detailed finish of this unique garden accessory is excellent. If stored for the off-season, these umbrellas will last for many years.
Make a pilot hole in the garden soil so that pole can easily go into the ground 5-6 inches. We recommend installing the bottom half of the pole in the ground first and then screwing on the top section. If strong winds are forecast, it’s advisable to take the umbrella down.
