MAY Parasols:
Professional solutions for wind and weather.
|
Wind is an issue in two respects when it comes to umbrellas. First, use of sun umbrellas at the appropriate tilt, or with side panels at the same time also functions as a windbreak. Secondly, the attachment of an parasol must be adapted to the prevailing wind conditions - this is especially true for the use of parasols in exposed locations, for example, in the mountains or the sea.
MAY can fulfill any requirement for the matching umbrella holder, from the robust frame above ground level shells in concrete up to special wall mounts.
Our trade consultants can help you choose the perfect mount for your parasol!
