Bookmakers Umbrellas: Sizes, Colours and Custom Printing
The DiscountTillRolls.ie TeamA bookmakers umbrella is a large 170cm brolly that shelters the pitch and marks you out in the betting ring. Most layers choose bold single colours or two tone panel designs so punters can find them from across the ring, and many add their name in print. Ours come in a range of colours and can be custom printed.
At the track, your umbrella is your shopfront. On a wet day at Punchestown it's also the only thing keeping the dockets dry.

Why a bookmakers umbrella?

Custom printing
Our umbrellas can be printed with your name or brand. Call us on 01 443 3964 to talk through artwork, colours and timing before the season starts, as printed orders take longer than stock items.
Looking after your umbrella
- Dry it before storing. Packing it away wet leads to mildew.
- Secure it in the wind. Use a proper stand and weight it well. Take it down in strong gusts.
- Check the frame at the start of each season and before big meetings.
