Shade sails
Cygnus Duo is the double-arm cantilever umbrella that shades where two separate umbrellas would get in the way: 194 sq ft of continuous shade on a single pole. A business lunch on the patio, the hotel lounge during aperitivo, the entrance to a business.

Each arm has its own piston: open only the one you need, leaving the other closed. Or both in just a few seconds, with a light touch on each side. A single base to position, no poles between the tables. When you need more coverage, the tidiest solution is to use just one post.

A dedicated gas piston on each arm: open only the side you need, leaving the other closed effortlessly.
A lever at the base unlocks the central pole: both canopies rotate together, a single gesture to change direction.
Solution-dyed acrylic fabric 260 g/m², UPF 50+, water-repellent: blocks over 98% of UV rays across both canopies.
Stitching designed at tension points. The airvent releases wind pressure from above. The velcro keeps each arm closed with no loose flaps.
Wider cross-section than the single Cygnus: supports the double cantilevered pull with a clear safety margin.
Fabric and frame combinations are defined in-house: coordinated colours, nothing left to chance.

Central pole, two cantilever arms, two Acrishade panels pre-mounted on the slats, and mounting hardware. Inspected before shipping.
One strap per panel: keeps the cover neatly closed along the arm when at rest, with no loose edges flapping in the wind.
Step-by-step illustrated guide: pole anchoring, securing both arms, and rotation adjustment.
For the first installation, we recommend having a second person assist: the pole weighs over 110 lbs and both arms must be secured to the shaft before the fabric panels are opened. A step-by-step manual and video tutorial will guide you through the entire process.
Yes, and with the Duo many of our customers are restaurant owners, hotel managers, and lounge operators. Reach out to our customer service team for multi-unit quotes, B2B invoicing, and expert guidance on choosing the right mounting solution.
Yes, if the condo rules allow side-arm umbrellas of this size and the flooring can support the minimum ballast weight required. For Duo, we always recommend a permanent anchor installation whenever possible.
No: the Duo upright (75×124 mm) is sturdier than the single one (75×100 mm), and the arms have a dedicated attachment system. If you want to expand your coverage, we recommend considering the Duo or Qadro directly.
Yes. There is a single lever at the base of the center pole: when you rotate it, the entire pole turns with both arms, keeping the two-panel cross in any orientation. It is the same 360° rotation as the single Cygnus, applied to a two-panel geometry.
Acrishade fabrics are water-repellent. If heavy rain or winds above 15 mph are expected, fold both arms closed: the two perimeter Velcro straps keep them neatly secured along the upright.
The Cygnus Single features one shade sail panel (3×3 m, roughly 10'×10', about 97 sq ft), the Duo has two panels side by side on the same pole (3×6 m, roughly 10'×20', about 194 sq ft), and the Qadro features four panels arranged in a cross pattern on the central pole (6×6 m, roughly 20'×20', about 388 sq ft). All three share the same mechanics — gas piston, 360° pole rotation — the same fabric quality, with a progressively larger footprint to suit any American backyard or patio.
Each arm has its own independent piston. Open the one you need, leave the other closed, or open both in just a few seconds. The same technology used in car tailgates, doubled.
The fabric blocks over 98% of UV rays. This is the highest rating on the UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) scale — the same level of protection as SPF 50+ sunscreen, consistently, for as long as you stay covered.
It is a single opening at the top of each panel, without a flap. When wind builds up beneath the cover, the airvent lets it escape from above — reducing pressure and lowering the risk of the canopy flipping over.
The rotation involves the central pole, not the individual shade panels. There is a single lever at the base that unlocks the pole; you rotate it to the desired position and both arms orient together. To change the direction of the shade, all it takes is one hand.
Up to 15 mph. Above this threshold, we recommend closing both arms: the gas piston-assisted closing is quick, even right before a sudden storm.
Between 60 and 90 minutes the first time, including setting the injection mortar anchor and assembling the two arms. Seasonal openings and closings take just a few minutes.
Yes, it's recommended. The pole is heavy (over 110 lbs net) and both arms must be secured to the shaft before the shade sails are opened. Working with two people ensures safety on the job.
Yes, and it is recommended for the Duo. For wood decking, the wood deck anchor is the right solution.
Each gas piston operates independently. Simply unlock the arm you need and leave the other one closed. Same process for closing — just a few seconds per arm.
Yes. Use lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft sponge. Avoid solvents and high-pressure washers. Let the fabric dry fully open, in the shade.
It's not required if the area is sheltered. If it's exposed to winter winds, we recommend closing it, covering it with a dedicated cover, and removing the arms from the pole to reduce wind resistance.
There is a single lever at the base of the center pole. Unlock it, rotate the pole in the desired direction, then lock it back in place. Both shade sails move together with the pole: the two-arm cross changes orientation but stays symmetrical.
7 years on the frame (upright, arms, gas pistons, rotation levers, aluminum). 3 years on the fabrics (stitching, Acrishade fabric, textile accessories).
Yes. You have 14 days from the date of delivery to exercise your right of withdrawal (private purchases). The product must be returned intact and in its original packaging.

No, we do not sell individual replacement fabrics.
