Shademakers was established by Kiwi yachtsman Captain Russell Bond, who understood the need for marine grade quality outdoor umbrellas. Shademakers went on to pioneer the cantilever umbrella concept with the release of the Shademakers Sola and Liberty umbrella models.
Over the years the range of Shademakers umbrellas have been exported into over 35 countries around the world. Nearly 20 years later the popular Sola and Liberty umbrellas are still standing strong in many residential and commercial locations throughout the world.
