Designer Dougan Clarke, a skilled sailor who is well-versed in sails, rigging, and boat design, knows what will stand up to the elements. He tests Tuuci umbrellas' canopies and engineering in two wind tunnels at their Miami headquarters. Pagoda is easy to use and maintain and is constructed of replaceable marine-grade components to ensure a lifetime of serviceability. Its cam cleat and pulley system lets you raise and lower the shade with ease. As with other shades, keep it in closed position during storms and when not in use.
