Cantilever Umbrella 3x4m Rectangular Terracotta – Vented Double Canopy | Autan XL

Terracotta. Not a neutral, not a background tone — a colour with warmth and presence that announces itself as a deliberate choice. This terracotta cantilever umbrella is the one in the range that brings colour to the outdoor space rather than deferring to it: a fired-clay tone that sits naturally against red brick, sandstone, rammed earth and the warm ochre tones that run through Australian architecture from the outback to the inner city terrace.

The rectangular 70 x 50 mm powder-coated aluminium mast rises at an angle from the cross base, leaving the area beneath the canopy clear. Eight aluminium ribs support the double-top vented canopy. The upper opening allows some air and heat to pass through the canopy.

Above a natural stone terrace, a rattan and timber lounge setting or a concrete alfresco with warm-toned planters, the Autan XL brings a Mediterranean warmth that neutral tones simply cannot replicate. Terracotta doesn't compete with the garden — it draws from it, referencing the same clay palette that shapes everything from garden pots and roof tiles to the red earth visible in a drive through regional Australia.

A rectangular 3x4m terracotta cantilever umbrella for character-led outdoor spaces

The Autan XL opens to a rectangular 400x300cm canopy — a full 12m² of shade. That coverage shelters an eight-to-ten-seat dining table or a complete outdoor lounge setting without a centre pole in the way. The UV-resistant polyester canopy is designed to help limit fading caused by normal outdoor exposure. As with any outdoor fabric, its appearance may gradually change over time depending on sunlight, weather conditions, use and maintenance.

An ergonomic crank handle opens and closes the canopy, while 360° mast rotation lets you track the sun across the day without rearranging your furniture. The canopy also tilts to block low-angle light. No centre pole interrupting sightlines or movement — the cantilever design keeps the entire space beneath the canopy open and unobstructed.

A large cantilever umbrella that brings colour into the Australian outdoor space

Terracotta has been a defining tone of warm-climate outdoor design for centuries, and for good reason: it reads differently depending on what surrounds it. Against white render or pale limestone, it becomes a focal point; alongside natural timber, rattan or woven furniture, it recedes into the earth palette it belongs to; in a garden with terracotta pots, red brick walls or native planting in ochre and rust tones, it completes the picture rather than adding to it. It is the colour choice for outdoor spaces that feel considered rather than assembled.

The rectangular 70 x 50 mm powder-coated aluminium mast supports the canopy structure. The upper vent allows some air and heat to pass through the double-top canopy. No tested wind-speed rating is stated for this product. Close the umbrella during strong or gusty winds and whenever it is left unattended.

At a glance

Overall height 274 cm, 100 x 100 cm aluminium cross base included and powder-coated frame. The components required to assemble the umbrella and included cross base are supplied. A compatible ballast or anchoring system is required and sold separately.

Some products may be shipped directly from our partner vidaXL's warehouses.

The cantilever umbrella can be assembled in under 30 minutes using the supplied instructions. Place the aluminium cross base on a flat, stable surface, secure the mast in position, then open the canopy using the crank handle.

The umbrella must be installed with a compatible ballast or anchoring system fitted to the included 100 x 100 cm cross base. The Holdfast Base Weight Kit is designed for compatible cross bases and provides up to approximately 100 kg of added ballast when all four plates are fully filled with dry sand. The kit is sold separately.

Ballast does not make the umbrella windproof. Close the canopy during strong or gusty winds and whenever the umbrella is left unattended.

The polyester canopy with PA coating can be cleaned using a soft, damp cloth. Allow it to dry completely before closing or storing the umbrella. When not in use for extended periods, close the canopy and protect the umbrella with a suitable outdoor cover where possible.
