AD45 CANTILEVER UMBRELLA
Important Safety Information
This umbrella is not a permanent shade structure and must be lowered when un-
attended or in windy conditions. Excessive wind puts stress on the frame, which
can cause damage to the umbrella and danger to people. This umbrella is not
recommended for exposed environments such as high balconies or roof tops.
Please carefully read the following instructions; if in doubt, consult a qualified
trades-person. Only use recommended Shelta bases or anchoring systems.
To ensure a long life for your AD45 Cantilever umbrella:
 Close the umbrella and cover with the Protective Sleeve between uses.
 Store in a dry, shaded location if not used for long periods.
 The umbrella should be hosed regularly with fresh water if exposed to salt
spray, chlorine or pollution.
 Soiling of the canopy can be minimised by simply brushing off dirt before it
becomes embedded in the fabric or spot cleaning soon after stains occur.
Fabrics may be treated with a fabric protector such as ‘Scotchguard’ for
additional protection.
 If it is necessary to close a wet umbrella in stormy weather, remember to
open and dry the canopy as soon as weather conditions allow.
 Regularly check that the base of the umbrella is properly secured.

AD45 Mounting Options
Mounting Option 1: Onground Plate (E included).
Suitable for a concrete slab (minimum 10cm thick) or a concrete column (30cm diameter by 75cm deep). With
this option the umbrella can be rotated. Purchase 4 Stainless Steel masonry
anchors such as 10mm x 75mm Dynabolts from your local hardware.
1. Place the Onground Plate (E) in the required location. Use metal spacers
if the surface is not flat and horizontal. Mark the position of the 4 corner
holes with a felt pen. Use a 10mm masonry bit to drill holes to a depth of
80mm. Fasten the Plate to the slab using the 4 masonry anchors.
2. If necessary, remove the Rotate Bearing (D) from the bottom of the Side-
post and attach to the Onground plate using the four M8 x 20mm bolts
and washers provided
The Umbrella may also be bolted to a wooden deck using the same hardware however it is strongly
recommended a builder reinforce the deck with extra joists under the boards and the pass-through
stainless steel bolts or 100mm M12 galvanized or stainless steel coach bolts go through the joists.
Mounting Option 2: Shelta Resin Base (not included).
Suitable for most surfaces including timber decks. Purchase a Shelta Large
Resin base from your local retailer (wheeled and non-wheeled versions
available). Note: the Ballast Block Frame and the Onground Plate are not
required for this option.
100 Kilos of 5mm blue metal and 10 Kilos of sand will be required to
fill the Resin base for ballast

unscrewing the 4 countersunk screws.
2. If necessary, remove the Rotate Bearing from the bottom of the Side-
post and attach to the Resin Base “Top Hat” using the 4 countersunk screws.
3. Follow the assembly instructions included with the Large Resin Base.
Mounting Option 3: Ballast Block Frame (C included).
Suitable for most surfaces including grass. This should be ballasted with between 110 and 140 kilograms
of weight. Purchase at least 6 Shelta Resinstone Ballast Weights or concrete pavers (45 x 45 x 4cm) from
your outdoor retailer or hardware.
1. Assemble the 2 parts of the Ballast Block Frame (C) at right
angles.
2. If necessary, remove the Rotate Bearing (D) from the bottom of the
Side-post and attach to the Ballast Block Frame using four
M8x20mm screws and washers provided.

use the surface should be flat and horizontal.
4. Place at least 6 Resinstone or paving blocks on the assembled
frame with double-stacked blocks on the side opposite the umbrella.
