Sun, Sol, Helios - the names are as varied as the dangers posed by our favourite star. Protect yourself from too much direct sunlight with a first-class UV protection shield - colloquially known as a parasol. Our parasol offers a shady spot - where there is little space! The cover made of high-quality polyester not only reliably protects you from UV radiation, but is also rain-resistant for a short time, so that even a small shower does not become a problem. Reinforced metal struts ensure a wind-resistant stand and additional stability, while you always keep a cool head thanks to the integrated air circulation bonnet. Made of powder-coated, rustproof aluminium, the poles once again underline the high quality of the materials used and offer all-round protection at its best. Its telescopic struts also make this half-umbrella a real space-saver that harmonises perfectly with our umbrella stands, available separately or as a set. The umbrella stand we have selected is suitable for wind force 2 (light breeze). You should set up the umbrella in a place protected from the wind and retract it in stronger gusts. We also offer other umbrella stands with higher weights for higher demands. A rule of thumb for better stability is: Umbrella up to 2 m: approx. 20 kg Umbrella up to 3 m: approx. 40-50 kg Umbrella up to 4 m: approx. 80-100 kg Umbrella up to 5 m: approx. 125-150 kg. Calculations such as 1 kg per 10 cm diameter are certainly not correct, as they do not take into account that the canopy area is multiplied. In addition, the area of an umbrella stand and the height of the umbrella are also important. Brand owner TÜV-Süd QM ISO9001 certified with no. 12 100 59626 TMS for quality management in Germany.
