FiberBuilt Umbrellas has introduced two models, Augusta and Bridgewater, that feature the company's new FiberTeak simulated wood pole construction.

The textured wood grain finish has the structural and durability advantages of fiberglass. The Augusta model has a 1 3/4-inch diameter pole and the Bridgewater has 1 1/2-inch diameter pole. Both come with solid wood hubs, fiberglass ribs and stainless steel hardware. The market-style canopies are available in a variety of sizes, venting options and fabrics.

"We are pleased to introduce these new and exciting contract quality products to the residential market," said CEO Paul Knapp.
