Parasols and sun sails are real friends of the warm season
You keep waiting impatiently, all winter long, for the sunny days in spring, summer and autumn. But when the sun’s rays get too burning, you immediately seek help. Then parasols and sun sails come into play and offer plenty of shade. So you don’t need to go inside to protect yourself from the strong sun. Well shielded you can sit outside in the open air, enjoy the warmth and the sun without getting tanned too quickly.

The right parasol for every outdoor area
Parasols and sun sails not only offer safe protection against the blazing sun, they also give every garden and balcony that certain something. The terrace becomes more charming and stylish with a parasol or awning in the right shape and color. The offer on the market is wide and will satisfy even the most demanding tastes. Whether garden umbrellas, balcony umbrellas, luxurious cantilever umbrellas, space-saving articulated parasols, large umbrellas for the whole family or the slightly smaller ones for the terrace – the range is really extensive and will meet every need for shade.

The sun protection can be perfectly adapted to the rest of the furnishings in the outdoor area

The classic parasol has a mast in the middle, a large umbrella at the top and a large, shady area below. Market umbrellas are usually somewhat larger and have a solid, straight trunk without a kink element. The large umbrellas, which are garden umbrellas with a large diameter, are becoming increasingly popular. If there is not much space available, as is often the case on the balcony, the rectangular parasols are ideal. They are usually provided with a buckling element that enables the umbrella to be positioned at an angle. The cantilever umbrellas, which are enjoying increasing popularity, are also square and angular. With these you can bring a bit of romance into your home, because you will find many special designer models under the traffic light umbrellas.

The sun sails easily shade entire parts of the garden or terrace and only develop their advantage when they are large enough. It is important to know that the larger the surface of the sail, the larger the surface of the wind. It is therefore important to ensure that the sail is well anchored and cannot be torn away. It is better to dismantle it in a storm. And one more important fact: The fabrics of parasols and sun sails cannot guarantee 100% UV radiation protection, so you should always make sure to protect yourself from solar radiation in all its forms. And there is one more important disadvantage to be mentioned: the parasol is not an umbrella.

Parasols offer more than just shade
Nowadays, parasols and sun sails are not only available in plain white. Thanks to the many bright colors of the umbrella fabric, the sun protection can be perfectly adapted to the other furnishings in the outdoor area. The same applies to the look of the frame, regardless of whether it is a conventional stick umbrella or a hanging cantilever umbrella. For this, noble materials such as wood, aluminum and stainless steel are used, which are also wonderfully combined with one another. This creates a beautiful look that harmonizes well with the other garden, balcony and terrace furniture. In this way, the place under the sun is not only shaded, but also furnished in the best possible way.
