Why Choose a Hercules Outdoor Umbrella for NZ Weather
Built for NZ Weather
Our outdoor umbrellas NZ are built to deliver reliable shade, durability, and style across New Zealand’s changing climate. Designed to withstand sun, wind, and light rain, they’re ideal for both residential and commercial outdoor spaces.
UV-Resistant Fabric
Made with 100% solution-dyed fabrics, our umbrellas offer exceptional UV protection and colour retention. While no material is completely fade-proof, our premium acrylic fabric lasts significantly longer than standard outdoor fabrics.
Water-Repellent Protection
Primarily intended for a sunshade, our umbrellas also resist light rain. For the best longevity, we recommend closing them during heavy rain or strong winds to protect both the fabric and frame.
Marine-Grade Strength
Constructed with rust-resistant, marine-grade aluminium frames, our umbrellas are built for long-lasting performance in New Zealand conditions—combining strength, style, and dependability.

Outdoor Umbrella FAQ
What size outdoor umbrella do I need for my patio or deck?
We recommend measuring the width and length of the area you want shaded. A 2-3m umbrella works for small patios, while larger decks or outdoor dining areas may need 3.5m+ umbrellas or cantilever designs to cover more space without obstructing views.
Are Hercules umbrellas built for NZ weather, such as heavy sun, rain, or strong winds?
Yes, our outdoor umbrellas use UV-resistant fabrics, rust-proof frames, and sturdy bases. Many models have wind ratings. For windy locations like Wellington or coastal areas, we suggest a heavier base weight or using a cantilever style to mitigate wind damage.
What types of umbrella styles do you offer, and which is best for different uses?
We stock several styles:
- Patio / Centre-pole Umbrellas: Feature acrylic fabric with superior fade resistance, ideal for long-term shade use. It comes in a wider range of sizes.
- Market / Cafe Umbrellas: Offer an affordable alternative, with fibreglass poles that are strong enough for moderately windy areas. It comes in a wider range of sizes.
- Cantilever Umbrellas: These umbrellas are recommended for larger gardens and patios. It offers flexible shade without a centre pole, perfect for lounge spaces or where centre poles are inconvenient. Available in only two sizes.
- Custom Branded Umbrellas: For businesses that want to display logos or brand colours.
What accessories or parts are available if something needs replacing or upgrading?
We provide replacement canopies, poles, base weights, and other spare parts. If you want to upgrade your umbrella, we suggest purchasing a heavier base or an umbrella cover for added protection and care, or a floodlight to improve usability.
Can I use your umbrella stand for my existing outdoor umbrella?
Yes! Our umbrella stands are designed to fit most standard centre-pole and cantilever umbrellas. With the included adapter, you can adjust the stand to fit your umbrella securely. If you’re unsure, please contact us before purchase to ensure the perfect fit.
How is delivery, installation, and warranty handled?
We ship across NZ with multiple location support (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch). Assembly is manual for most models, with instructions included. Warranties cover frame defects and canopy fabric. If you have issues, our local customer service can help with replacement or repair.
