Parasols
A patio or garden umbrella is essential for enjoying the outdoors, even during the hottest hours of the day. While the sun gives us that feeling of heat in summer, protecting ourselves from it under a Balinese umbrella or an eccentric parasol by the pool becomes the perfect plan. In our online store, you'll find everything you need to create a beautiful and functional garden or patio: from cushions for pallets to banks for outdoor use, and many other garden furniture items such as coffee tables, sun loungers , chill-out area sofas, tables, garden chairs, and more. Relaxing in a hammock or enjoying a refreshing drink under a garden umbrella is one of the best ideas for summer.
When buying a patio umbrella , you can choose from styles ranging from tropical to rustic or modern, perfect for adding a unique touch to your patio, terrace, or garden. Choosing the right size is also crucial. For example, a cantilevered parasol about 2 meters in diameter can shade a sun lounger, but if you want to cover a table and chairs, it's best to opt for a larger garden umbrella , around 3 meters in diameter.

Parasols and Umbrellas: Design, Shade and Protection for the Outdoors
A parasol or umbrella is an essential technical and aesthetic element for enjoying outdoor spaces. Its main function goes beyond simply providing shade: it protects against UV radiation, reduces ambient temperature, and defines seating areas in gardens, patios, or balconies. Choosing the right piece, with a robust frame made of wood, steel, or aluminum and a high-density canopy, not only guarantees comfort but also complements the furniture and adds a touch of style and sophistication to the ambiance. Large umbrellas are perfect for covering spacious areas, providing shade throughout the day.

Tips for choosing your parasol or umbrella for a large terrace
Consider the size of the area you need to cover: for a balcony, a 200 cm diameter might be sufficient, while for a table seating 6-8 people, you'll need at least 300 cm. Stability is crucial; make sure you choose an umbrella base appropriate for the weight and size of the parasol, opting for concrete or heavy-duty steel bases. As for the material, aluminum is lightweight and perfect for coastal areas due to its corrosion resistance, while wood brings unparalleled warmth to rustic or natural settings. If you're looking for something more exclusive, a Balinese parasol can add a tropical and relaxed touch to your space.
