Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Anchor & Hope, a popular riverside pub in Henley-on-Thames, needed to replace its collection of flimsy, domestic-style umbrellas. They were constantly being damaged by the wind and  looked unprofessional, failing to do justice to their prime location.

"Our old brollies were a constant headache. These Bolero parasols are solid as a rock and  look the business. Our customers are definitely staying for longer now they have proper, reliable shade, which is brilliant for us."

Robert Davies – Landlord

After installing six Bolero CB512 parasols, the pub saw a noticeable increase in dwell time in the garden, contributing to a 15% uplift in outdoor food and  drink sales during peak summer weeks.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure you have a compatible, heavy-duty base (sold separately) to prevent tipping in the wind.
  • Slot the bottom pole securely into the base before attaching the top section with the canopy.
  • Use the simple pulley system to open the canopy, ensuring it has clearance and  doesn't catch on tables or chairs.
  • For safety, always lower the parasol during strong winds or when unattended for long periods.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the hardwood pole with a damp cloth and  mild detergent to keep it looking its best.
  • For the canopy, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and  spot clean with lukewarm soapy water.
  • Always ensure the canopy is completely dry before closing and  storing to prevent mildew.
  • During winter or long periods of non-use, we recommend storing the parasol indoors or using a protective cover.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Parasol

Struggling to pick the perfect parasol for your space? Here’s a quick checklist of what to look out for in a commercial model.

Check Your Space

Measure your area first. A 2.5m round commercial parasol is ideal for shading a four-seater table, but make sure you have enough clearance from walls or fences.

Consider the Canopy

A heavier fabric weight (like this 245gsm one) offers better UV protection and  is far more durable than cheaper, domestic alternatives.

Don't Skimp on the Base

The base is crucial for safety. Heavier is better, especially for windy spots. Match the base to the pole diameter (38mm for this model).

Material Matters

Hardwood poles, like the Nyatoh on this model, offer a classic look and  excellent durability compared to metal or plastic which can bend or rust.

Ease of Use is Key

A pulley or crank system is a must-have in a commercial setting. It makes daily setup and  takedown quick and  effortless for any staff member.
