Business & Pleasure Co Amalfi Umbrella

The canopy is rated at UPF 50+, which blocks 98% of harmful UV rays. It provides excellent sun protection for a family of four, though we always recommend wearing sunscreen as well.

Yes, it is designed for portability. It packs down neatly, and at 5.5kg, it is manageable to carry to the beach or park, though it is slightly heavier than basic, flimsy beach umbrellas due to its durable wood construction.

No, the umbrella does not include a base. If you are using it on a patio, you will need to purchase a compatible stand separately. For beach use, the pole is designed to be buried directly into the sand.

This model uses a traditional pulley lift mechanism. It is straightforward to operate, though it requires a bit more manual effort than a push-button or crank-style umbrella.

While the Amalfi features reinforced poles and ribs for increased strength, it is still a large, fabric-topped accessory. We recommend closing it during high winds or gusts to prevent damage or the umbrella from blowing away.

To keep the wood in good condition, wipe it down after use to remove salt or moisture, especially after beach trips. Storing it in a dry, covered area when not in use will significantly extend the life of the wood and the fabric canopy.
