Please Read Carefully Prior to Commencing Installation

Brustics Umbrellas are carefully designed and manufactured to suit a wide variety of applications. However, it is possible that in certain circumstances their application may not be suitable.

It is the sole responsibility of the person installing the gazebos to ensure the suitability of the product. No claims whatsoever can be accepted for any loss, directly or indirectly, caused by installing the product in an unsuitable manner or location.

It is strongly recommended that you read these instructions in full before commencing installation. As with erecting any form of structure a certain level of knowledge, fitness and commonsense are required. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure they have the necessary skills to carry out the installation. Should you require assistance, we have trained operators who can answer your questions and, if required, may be able to make a site visit to provide assistance. Please note a charge is normally made for site visits.

Thatch Umbrella Installation Instructions

1.   Fixing Umbrella Pole

We recommend a sleeve is concreted 800mm into the ground , when concreting the sleeve insert pole and ensure plumb with spirit level (even if only slightly off plumb, this can have a significant effect at the top of the umbrella pole). Allow concrete to harden.

If it is not possible or desirable to concrete pole/sleeve into ground, heavy umbrella bases (steel or concrete) are available. In conjunction with a heavy table these will normally be adequate, unless the area is subject to high winds.

2.   Fixing Frame

• Assemble frame.
• Carefully lift frame on top of pole.
• Bolt support arms to pole.

3.   Thatch Umbrella

It is recommended the tiles are handled as shown.

The tiles are clipped to the framework one by one, starting from the bottom layer. The tiles on the layer above overlap the previous layer.

When the first and last tile are fitted in a row, it may be necessary to trim a tile; this can be done by using a sharp knife or hand saw. Retain all clips where possible by trimming each end of the tile. Trim so tiles butt neatly, but not so tightly as to create loops between the clips. In the event of a clip breaking, or inadequate support at the edge of a tile (where it has been cut), thread some soft wire through the polyurethane binding strip and tie to steel rods.

The top cone can be placed or gently tossed onto the apex of the frame. Once in place this should be tied to the frame.

Adjust the cone and tiles using an off cut of tile or your fingers as a broom, closing any gaps.
