Whether for the balcony, patio or garden, small or large, with or without a crank - there are a few things you should bear in mind when buying a parasol. Discover everything you need to know about parasols and their accessories here. You will also find matching garden tables and chairs in this category.

Optimum sun protection

A parasol offers optimum protection from intense UV radiation and creates a pleasant climate on balconies and patios. Whether in the garden, on the patio or on the balcony - there is a suitable parasol for every area. From compact balcony parasols to large garden parasols, there is something to suit every need. Parasols with a crank handle are particularly convenient to use as they are easy to open and close. Small balcony parasols save space and are ideal for small areas. Large parasols, on the other hand, offer extensive sun protection and are ideal for large gardens or patios.

Additional products and equipment

In addition to the right parasol, matching garden loungers and garden chairs are also essential. They complement the atmospheric design of your outdoor area and offer the best comfort when sunbathing or relaxing in the shade. With matching cushions and pillows, you can also provide that little bit of extra comfort. Sturdy parasol stands, protective covers and holders are also important accessories and ensure optimum stability and durability of your parasol.

Accessories for parasols

A parasol is more than just protection from the sun. With the right accessories, you can significantly increase the benefits and service life of your parasol. Below we present five important accessories for your parasol:

• Parasol stand: Allows the parasol to stand securely, even in windy weather.
• Sun lounger: Creates a relaxed atmosphere under the parasol.
• Protective cover: Protects the parasol from the weather and increases its service life.
• Holding devices: Provides additional stability and optimally fixes the parasol in place.
• Lighting: Creates a cosy atmosphere even after sunset.

Use and placement

Parasols not only provide shade, but also serve as a privacy screen or as an attractive addition to your garden design. Position the parasols over a garden lounger, a garden table or a cosy garden chair to create a sheltered place to relax. Large parasols can also provide a valuable service in the garden over the sandpit or children's pool. Smaller balcony parasols are ideal for narrow patios or balconies. If you are looking for mobile sun protection, you can choose parasols with a lightweight base, which can be easily moved.

Protection and comfort

Always remember that sunlight not only provides pleasant warmth, but also reduces health risks. A high-quality parasol absorbs up to 98% of harmful UV rays. Good sun protection is particularly important for children. In combination with comfortable garden loungers or chairs and the right cushions and cushions, your oasis of peace is complete. Extend your comfort by adding splashing water fun with a pool and simply place a garden parasol over it - this avoids direct sunlight and allows you to enjoy a carefree swim.

Advantages and special features

The advantages of high-quality parasols are obvious: not only do they offer reliable protection from excessive sunlight, they also have an attractive design effect in gardens, on patios and balconies. Quality parasols impress with their durability and stability, even in adverse weather conditions. Extras such as a crank handle also make them easy to use. The parasol fabrics are often removable and washable, which makes them easier to use and care for. Functional details, such as integrated LED lights for the evening atmosphere, give parasols that little bit extra.

Special features

Some parasols are equipped with an integrated crank. This makes it much easier to open and close the parasol. A crank handle is a particularly useful accessory for large parasols. More luxurious models also offer a folding function. This allows the sunshade to be flexibly orientated and adjusted to the current position of the sun. Parasols with castors in the base, which can be easily moved and positioned, also offer a high level of convenience. When buying your sunshade, also look for good workmanship, stable materials and UV-resistant fabrics.

Various parasol variants

From classic garden parasols and balcony parasols to cantilever parasols and sun sails - the range of parasols is diverse. You will find the perfect parasol cover for every outdoor area, whether large or small. With a cantilever parasol, which has a pole attached to the side, you can optimally shield large areas without a sunshade pole getting in the way. Awnings, on the other hand, offer flexible sun protection as they are easy to attach and move. Tip: Pay attention to the shape and size of your sunshade to ensure that it really does shade the desired area.
