Frankford Nova 16-Foot Octagon Giant Telescoping Umbrella (896NGU)

SKU: 896NGU

$6,962.00

Cover a large dining or gathering area with a 16-foot octagonal canopy while keeping tables in place when the umbrella closes. The Frankford Nova uses a commercial telescoping crank that raises the canopy during closure, paired with a heavy aluminum structure built for large-format shade.

  • Furniture-clearing closure: The telescoping crank lifts the canopy as it closes so tables and seating below do not need to be rearranged.
  • Large commercial structure: Reinforced extruded-aluminum ribs connect to a 4-inch aluminum mast and hinge spigot, with stainless-steel hardware throughout.
  • Canopy protection: Reinforced grommets and a woven nylon wrap help isolate the fabric from frame stress.
  • Design choice: Select the available Frankford fabric and frame finish for the project; confirm the final combination on the order acknowledgement.

  • Canopy: 16 ft. / 5 m octagon

The umbrella frame and selected canopy are included. Frankford's current catalog lists a black polyester protective cover with the Nova; confirm the current factory package on the order acknowledgement. Base or mount is not included. Plan an NGU550 freestanding base or a manufacturer-approved Nova direct/in-ground mount for the site; installation hardware and professional installation are separate.

Frankford publishes a 50 mph sustained-wind rating for a properly mounted Nova in its optimal position, but treats wind ratings as guidance rather than a warranty. Close and secure the umbrella in sudden weather, whenever it is unattended or not in use, and when sustained winds exceed 25 mph. Site exposure, elevation, and anchoring can require a more conservative plan.

Features

  • As the telescoping Nova cranks down, the top portion of the mast rises, allowing you to completely close the umbrella without having to move any furniture placed underneath
  • 4” diameter aluminum center pole with four internal strength channels, combined with the extruded aluminum ribs provide exceptional support and strength
  • For easier installation of an umbrella this large, the Nova mounts to a hinged spigot. This allows for the umbrella mast to be placed onto the spigot while the unit is on its side, prior to raising it to an upright position.
  • Reinforced grommets paired with an ultra-durable woven nylon wrap prevent the chance of fabric tearing from the frame
  • Engineered to withstand 50-60 MPH sustained winds
  • Stainless steel hardware throughout
  • Multiple mounting options are available, either permanent or semi-permanent, for installation on any surface
