This thoughtful and innovative design allows for easy repair and maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCANOPY\u003cbr\u003eThe iconic and uniquely shaped canopy is the cumulative effect of six patented Blunt tips which act like mini umbrellas at the edge of the canopy. This evenly distributes tension from the frame into the canopy edge, and eliminating the need for sharp points.. The canopy’s tautness – especially at the edge – provides a rigid wing-like surface that withstands all wind conditions. The canopy is simply attached to the frame with Velcro tabs, allowing it to slip off with ease once detached from the six Blunt tips. This makes for easy removal when remedying wear and tear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFRAME\u003cbr\u003eThe Blunt umbrella frame features a unique strut mechanism that stresses the ribs, creating an effortless outward tension in the canopy as the umbrella is opened. The frame is the most complex part of the umbrella, with multiple components. Think of building blocks seamlessly fitting together in harmony, clicking into place to create a sturdy, reliable structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHAFT\u003cbr\u003eThe shaft is the central point of connection within the umbrella framework, acting as an anchor to bring all of the modular components together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHANDLE\u003cbr\u003eLike a bayonet fitting on a lightbulb, the handle can be removed and attached by pushing down and gently turning while keeping the umbrella shaft still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCARE\u003cbr\u003eLooking after your Blunt umbrella is key to increasing its lifespan. Here are a few simple tips and tricks for keeping your umbrella looking and performing at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNEW: Leave your new umbrella open overnight. Just like stretching your muscles, expanding the opening mechanism will result in a quick and easy opening every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDRYING: Allow your umbrella to completely dry after being in the rain to reduce the chance of mildew and stains forming. Leave your umbrella fully open in a dry area until no moisture remains. If space is limited, your umbrella can be dried standing with the handle facing up and the canopy tie released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTORAGE: Store your umbrella in its sleeve to avoid any nicks, holes or scuffs. This will also protect the canopy from sun fade and general wear and tear when not in use.\u003cbr\u003eThe Blunt tips: If one of your tips looks pointy instead of curved when the umbrella is open, a tip may have become detached. This can simply be pushed back into place – see our tip replacement tutorial for guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCLEANING: Use warm water and a clean cloth to wipe any marks off your canopy. Avoid the use of chemical detergents and bristle brushes as these can cause damage to the fabric. Blunt canopies are not machine washable, we recommend washing by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOPENING: Dirt and debris can build up over time, creating friction as the umbrella is opened. Wipe the umbrella shaft with a damp cloth regularly to keep it clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREPAIRS: Blunt umbrellas are designed to be repairable. Although the umbrellas are built to withstand whatever nature throws your way, we know the unexpected can happen. This is when we look to repair before we replace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blunt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49805776945319,"sku":"METFLOX2026","price":149.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/3018\/0007\/files\/blunt_metro_umbrella_flox_2026_limited_edition_TOP3_1500_2.jpg?v=1779242635","url":"https:\/\/top3.com.au\/products\/blunt-metro-umbrella-x-flox-2026","provider":"top3 by design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
