Gemini
Gemini is a premium side-post shade system with two square canopies on a single mast. Each canopy projects from the center post on its own arm, covering two zones while keeping floor space open and usable. The result is wide, balanced shade with a minimal footprint.
What This Umbrella Does
Gemini shades both sides of a walkway, row of chaises, or a pair of dining tables at once. The post stands between the areas, while the canopies extend outward to create two clear seating zones. The look is clean and architectural, ideal for modern patios and pool decks.

Setup Overview
Choose a stable location, secure the base or anchor, then open and level both canopies. Check clearances before service.
Preparation
Choose Location
Pick a level surface with clear walk paths and overhead space. Plan furniture so both canopies cover the intended zones.
Base & Secure
Set Base and Make Post Plumb
Install a rated base or anchor for your site and wind conditions. Tighten all hardware and confirm the post is plumb.
Adjust & Check
Open, Level, and Lock
Open both canopies slowly. Level as needed and verify locks operate smoothly without interference.
Care & Maintenance
Brush off dust and rinse canopies with mild soap and water. Inspect hinges, locks, and fasteners each season. Close during strong winds. Store clean and dry for long off-seasons.
Troubleshooting
- One canopy sits low: Re-level the base and confirm the post is plumb; check tension points.
- Stiff motion: Open partway and check for fabric snags or debris; clear and retest.
- Movement in gusts: Close both canopies and verify base weight or anchors meet site needs.
