Where can your outdoor umbrellas be used?

Question

Accepted Answer

Hotels and resorts, restaurant and cafe terraces, beach clubs and pool

decks, rooftop and corporate terraces, residential gardens and villas.

What changes between them is not the umbrella, it is the specification.

Poolside and beach club

Olefin or solution-dyed acrylic canopy, because chlorine and salt are what

shorten a fabric's life. A 360 kg welded marble base, and umbrellas spaced

by the base footprint rather than the canopy span.

Restaurant terrace

Centre pole or cantilever, sized to the table layout. A 3 x 3 m canopy

covers a four-top with about 60 cm clearance all round. Use a fillable base

if the layout changes through the season.

Rooftop and exposed sites

The wind rating governs everything. Our wind-optimised centre pole umbrella

is rated to Beaufort 4 (about 25 km/h), so plan for closing canopies, and

consider a permanent in-ground base.

Residential garden

A 2.5-2.7 m centre pole umbrella on a resin base - usually the

lowest-profile option.

Hotel pool decks with fixed layouts

4 x 4 m and larger canopies on 160 kg bases, or bolt-down where the deck

cannot take a freestanding base.

Send a photograph of the site and the number of positions and we will

specify per area rather than per product.
