How should I use it in wind?
Can you rate it for my site?
Wind rating by model
Wind performance is model-dependent. Our centre pole and Roman umbrellas are rated for everyday garden breezes, while the commercial cantilever and large square models are engineered for open terraces and pool decks. Typical tested resistance ranges from Beaufort 4 to Beaufort 6 depending on size, base, and mount; we publish the class per model on the spec sheet.
How to reach the rated wind
The rating only holds when the correct base or in-ground mount is used and the umbrella is closed before a storm. A 3.5 m cantilever on a light base will not meet its class. For exposed sites we recommend the in-ground anchor or a heavy split base and lower tilt angles in strong gusts.
Safety note
No parasol should be left open in a storm. Wind ratings describe resistance to passing gusts, not a licence to leave large canopies deployed in severe weather. Closing and securing the unit is always the safe choice.
