  • Built to Last: The hardwood pole and  strong ribs handle daily commercial use extremely well.
  • Base Not Included: Remember to factor in the cost of a suitably heavy base.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Swan Inn in Stratford-upon-Avon needed to upgrade their tired, mismatched beer garden umbrellas for a more uniform and  professional look before the busy summer season.

"Our old umbrellas were a real eyesore and  a pain to put up. These Bolero parasols look the business and  the staff can get the whole garden set up in minutes. Customers have even commented on how much smarter it all looks."

Michael Edwards – Landlord

The smart, unified look helped them increase outdoor bookings by 25% during peak season.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always use a suitable, heavy-duty base (sold separately) to prevent tipping in the wind.
  • Before first use, check the pulley system rope for any knots or twists to ensure smooth operation.
  • Simply slot the two parts of the hardwood pole together until they are secure.
  • When opening, ensure the canopy ribs are not caught or tangled up.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the canopy with a damp cloth to remove dirt; avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
  • Always close the parasol in strong winds to prevent damage to the frame and  canopy.
  • Store in a dry, covered area during winter months to prolong the life of the wood and  fabric.
  • Periodically check that all fittings are secure and  tighten if necessary.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Parasol

Not sure which parasol is right for your space? Here are a few things to consider.

Measure Your Space

Check the diameter and  height to ensure it fits your tables and  won't obstruct pathways or doorways.

Don't Forget the Base

The bigger and  heavier the parasol, the heavier your base needs to be. A good rule is 25kg minimum for a parasol this size.

Consider the Frame

Hardwood like this Nyatoh model offers a classic look and  great rigidity, while aluminium is lighter and  rust-proof.

Canopy Quality Matters

Look for a high GSM fabric (like this one's 245gsm) for better UV protection and  durability against the elements.

Opening Mechanism

A pulley or crank system is a must for commercial use, making daily setup quick and  easy for your staff.
