Careful consideration must be given to finding the right location for a commercial parasol. As you choose your spot, think about the size of the canopy and base you will need. Factor in whether you need lighting and, if so, how you will connect to an electrical supply. Pick a parasol that can handle strong winds if you want to have a big canopy – this’ll stop your umbrella from flying away!
Fixed or temporary position- which one should I choose?
Installing an umbrella is essential for achieving the ideal amount of shade. When selecting a location for your parasol, think about if you would like a fixed spot or if you would rather relocate the parasol from time-to-time.
If you come to the conclusion that a semi-permanent position is the best spot for your parasol, an in-ground base is the best option for unwavering steadiness and strength. If portability is your aim, select a heavy base with a handle and wheels, enabling you to transport your parasol smoothly from one spot to another.
To receive the most shade, be sure to position your parasol between you (your patio, pool or the actual space you need shading for) and the sun.
Parasol for patios facing the sun
Does your patio draw individuals who wish to take in the glorious view of the sunrise or sunset? Whether you’re a restaurant, cafe, hotel, or pub, making sure your customers have a pleasant experience is always a priority. Shielding them from the sun is one of the best ways to guarantee a comfortable experience, and nothing does that more effectively than a parasol.
Patios that face either east or west can benefit from the use of parasols, shielding your guests from the intense rays of the morning or evening sun. Installation requires minimal effort and provides the freedom to rearrange during the day. Furthermore, with a broad array of sizes and shades on offer, you can uncover the ideal parasol to coordinate with your furnishings. So proceed and relish that cup of coffee – just don’t forget to stay shaded!
Parasol by the poolside
Complete your pool area by installing a rotating cantilever umbrella. This type of parasol allows one to position it in such a way that it creates a pleasant and temperate environment while still being able to see and move freely. Enhance any outdoor area with a cantilever parasol that can rotate and tilt to guarantee optimum coverage when desired. The expansive shade created by these parasols is suitable for both commercial use and leisurely activities, such as dining and lounging around by the pool. Feel cool, calm and collected all day with this summer must-have.
Parasols for commercial and hospitality terraces
If you are in the hospitality sector, why settle for less when you can have more? Choosing one big parasol is an understandable selection – in the end, it will spare a significant amount of room and offer more comfort whilst making your outdoor space more engaging under one canopy. This accessory is equipped with a convenient crank handle that makes folding and unfolding with ease.
Moreover, its in-ground base ensures a more secure setting, whatever the size of the terrace or the amount of tables in place. This single solution can bring to your facility a more pleasant atmosphere, and take the customer experience to unprecedented heights.
Positioning multiple parasols on the terrace will give you the perfect dining atmosphere, in addition to all the benefits that come with it.
