Perfect sun protection made easy: the best add-ons for your parasol

A parasol is an indispensable accessory for any garden or balcony, providing shade and protection from the sun. But it is not just the parasol itself that matters – the additional accessories you can purchase with it are important too. These give you the opportunity to considerably extend the functionality and comfort of your parasol. Below, we present various accessories and explain how they can be used.

Parasol base

Concrete or granite base
Concrete bases convince with their robustness and considerable weight, giving the parasol a secure hold even in stronger winds. Granite bases offer similar stability while looking more elegant and refined.

Suitable for: large, heavy parasols and windy locations.

Mobile bases
Bases fitted with castors allow the parasol to be moved easily. They give you the flexibility you want without sacrificing the necessary stability.

Suitable for: use on terraces and balconies

Water- or sand-fillable bases
The bases are hollow and can be filled with water or sand to reach the required weight. The bases are easy to transport, even when empty. They also provide a stable hold.

Suitable for: The temporary set-up and the easy handling.

Valances

Valances are strips of fabric attached to the edge of the parasol that provide additional shade. They lend the parasol an elegant appearance and can serve as a stylish design element.

Suitable for: Additional sun protection and an aesthetic upgrade for the garden or balcony.

Rope pulley

The parasol is equipped with a rope-pull mechanism that allows it to be opened and closed easily by pulling on a rope. This feature is particularly useful for larger parasols, which would otherwise be difficult to handle.

Suitable for: Large parasols where simple operation is desired.

Crank mechanism

The crank mechanism allows the parasol to be opened and closed by turning a crank. This solution requires less effort and is particularly user-friendly.

Suitable for: All types of parasols, especially for older people or those with limited strength.

Protective covers

Protective covers offer optimal protection for your parasol. They shield your parasol from the weather, dust and dirt when it is not in use. They also extend the parasol's lifespan and preserve its appearance.

Suitable for: Long-term protection and care of the parasol.

Lighting

We offer the option of equipping your parasols with integrated LED lighting or removable string lights to provide atmospheric lighting in the evening.

Suitable for: evenings outdoors, parties and cosy get-togethers.

Tilt function

Parasols with a tilt function can be tipped to the side to adjust the angle of shade. This allows you to orient the parasol optimally towards the sun.

Suitable for: Flexible sun protection all day long.
