Parasols

Garden Parasols provide reliable shade and weather protection for terraces, beer gardens, pavement seating and hotel courtyards. This range includes commercial-grade parasols in a choice of round and square canopies, colours and diameters to suit your outdoor layout. Ideal for Irish cafes, bars, restaurants and hotels, they help you maximise covers outside while keeping guests comfortable. Durable frames and fabrics are designed for frequent use, easy operation and a professional front-of-house appearance.

• Round and square parasols in popular diameters, perfect for pub gardens, cafes and hotel patios.
• Choice of colours including green, red, navy, cream, black and grey to match your outdoor branding.
• Models with single and double pulley systems for smooth, effortless opening and closing during service.
• Heavy-duty water-fill and metal parasol bases to keep canopies stable in busy, exposed outdoor areas.
• Seville and Sicily style parasols for a more premium look in restaurants, hotels and event spaces.
• Flat and compact bases ideal where space is tight between outdoor tables and walkways.

How to choose the right Garden Parasols

• Measure your outdoor seating area and table sizes to select the correct parasol diameter and shape for full shade coverage.
• Decide between round or square canopies based on your layout, furniture arrangement and the style of your terrace or beer garden.
• Consider colour options that complement your branding and exterior decor while hiding marks in high-traffic areas.
• Choose standard or heavy-duty bases depending on wind exposure, paving type and how often parasols will be moved.
• Look for pulley or double pulley mechanisms if staff will be opening and closing parasols frequently throughout the day.
• Plan storage and access so parasols and bases can be moved safely at closing time or during bad weather.

Care and maintenance

• Brush off loose dirt regularly and clean canopies with mild soapy water to maintain appearance and hygiene.
• Allow fabrics to dry fully before closing or storing parasols to prevent mould and odours.
• Inspect frames, ribs and pulley cords for wear, tightening fixings and replacing damaged parts promptly.
• Check bases frequently, ensuring water or sand-filled models remain at the recommended weight for stability.
• Close and secure parasols in strong winds or overnight to protect guests, staff and surrounding furniture.
• Store parasols in a dry, sheltered area during off-season and use covers where possible to extend service life.
