Sun, Sol, Helios - as diverse as the names are, so are the dangers posed by our favorite star. Protect yourself from excessive direct sunlight with a top-notch UV protection shield, commonly referred to as a sun umbrella. Our sun umbrella provides a shady spot where space is limited. The high-quality polyester cover not only reliably protects you from UV radiation but is also temporarily water-resistant, so a light shower won't be a problem. Reinforced metal ribs ensure stability against the wind and additional sturdiness, while the integrated air circulation hood helps you keep a cool head. Made from powder-coated, rust-free aluminum, the frame emphasizes the premium quality of the materials used and offers excellent all-around protection. Its telescopic ribs make this half-umbrella a true space-saver that perfectly complements our separately available or set-compatible umbrella stands. The umbrella stand we selected is suitable for wind strengths of 2 (light breeze). You should set up the umbrella in a sheltered location and retract it during stronger gusts. For higher demands, we also offer additional umbrella stands with greater weight. As a rule of thumb for better stability: 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 like 1 kg per 10 cm diameter are not accurate, as they do not consider that the umbrella area increases exponentially. Additionally, the area of the umbrella stand and the height of the umbrella are also important. Brand owner TÜV-Süd QM ISO9001 certified for quality management in Germany.
