Centre-Pole Parasols
The classic round or square parasol — robust, simple and endlessly configurable for gardens, cafes and pools.
Our centre-pole parasols are the workhorse of shade: a clean vertical mast, durable aluminium frame and solution-dyed acrylic canopies in sizes up to 5.0 m. Open them with a pulley-and-pin or a crank, fix the base in the ground, on a plate or a cross, and finish in any RAL colour. Made to order, built to last seasons outdoors.

Frequently asked questions
Pulley or crank — which should I choose?
Crank is easiest for daily use; pulley-and-pin is the most durable for high-cycle commercial settings.
Can I leave it open overnight?
We recommend closing any parasol when unattended. The frame is weatherproof; the canopy lasts longer stored dry.
What base do I need?
Ground sleeve for permanent, steel plate for hard surfaces, cross base with weights for flexible placement.
