Bolero Parasols

The Bolero Venice is a 3.5m cantilever-style parasol designed for commercial outdoor seating areas where consistent, adjustable shade coverage is a practical requirement throughout the day. The offset pole design means there is no central support interrupting the table space beneath, which is a meaningful advantage in a properly laid dining setup. With 360-degree rotation, the canopy can be repositioned to follow the sun or provide shelter from a particular direction without moving any furniture.

The canopy is constructed from a thick polyester fabric with UV resistance and flame retardancy built in — both relevant properties for a commercial hospitality setting where compliance and customer comfort are everyday concerns. The eight-rib frame contributes to canopy stability in moderate outdoor conditions, and the crank handle mechanism makes daily opening and closing straightforward for front-of-house staff without specialist knowledge or effort.

From an operational standpoint, this parasol suits outdoor covers at cafés, pub gardens, hotel terraces, and similar hospitality venues where the furniture is set up and taken down on a regular seasonal basis. At 21.7kg, it is a substantial piece of equipment — appropriate ballast or a purpose-matched base will be needed, and this should be factored into the setup before ordering.

• 360-degree rotation allows shade adjustment without moving tables or chairs
• Flame-retardant, UV-resistant canopy suitable for public-facing outdoor areas
• Crank handle mechanism supports straightforward daily operation by staff
• Offset cantilever design keeps the table area clear of obstructions

This is a well-suited option for smaller to mid-sized outdoor covers. For larger terraces or higher-footfall venues requiring multiple units or heavier-gauge construction, it is worth discussing your layout before committing to a quantity. The team is happy to advise on what works in practice for your specific setup.

The Bolero Seville is a 3-metre round parasol designed for commercial outdoor seating areas. It provides reliable overhead shade through a UV-resistant fabric canopy, and is built around a 48mm diameter aluminium pole with a two-pole mast construction to keep the canopy stable in everyday conditions. Opening and closing is handled via a crank mechanism, and a tilt function allows the canopy angle to be adjusted as the sun moves throughout the day — a practical detail that reduces the need to reposition furniture during service.

In a commercial context, this parasol is well suited to café terraces, pub gardens, and restaurant outdoor areas where guests expect comfort and shade during warmer months. The aluminium construction keeps the unit reasonably lightweight at 6.6kg, which makes it manageable to move or reposition between services, while still offering adequate stability when properly baseloaded.

Practical considerations worth noting:

• A compatible parasol base is required and sold separately — ensure the base is rated for a 3m canopy in your expected wind conditions
• The unit is not freestanding without a base; factor base weight and footprint into your table layout
• Like most fabric canopies, the Seville is best taken down and stored during prolonged poor weather or high winds
• The 245gsm canopy fabric provides UV resistance suitable for seasonal commercial use

This model is a good fit for operators setting up or refreshing a modest outdoor seating area who need a presentable, functional parasol at a practical price point. For higher-volume or more exposed sites where greater robustness or wind resistance is a priority, a heavier-duty option may be worth considering.

If you're unsure whether this parasol suits your layout or want guidance on base options, the team is happy to help you work through the details before you order.

This Bolero flat metal parasol base is a straightforward, practical solution for anchoring freestanding parasols in outdoor commercial dining areas. Made from powder-coated steel in white, it is designed to sit flat on the ground, typically beneath a table, providing a stable footing for parasol poles with a diameter of 38mm or 48mm. A tightening adaptor is included to secure the pole firmly within the base collar.

At 18kg, the base offers a reasonable level of ballast for sheltered or semi-sheltered outdoor areas. It is worth noting that for more exposed sites — roof terraces, seafront locations, or open courtyards — a heavier base or additional anchoring may be more appropriate, particularly during periods of high wind. Sitting the base under a table helps manage the footprint and reduces trip hazards in busy service areas.

• Compatible with 38mm and 48mm diameter parasol poles
• Tightening adaptor included for a secure, wobble-free fit
• Low-profile flat design sits neatly under standard outdoor tables
• Powder-coated steel finish resists corrosion in outdoor conditions
• White finish suits most commercial outdoor furniture schemes

This base is well suited to cafés, pub gardens, restaurant terraces, and hotel outdoor areas where parasols are used seasonally and repositioned as needed. It is a practical choice for standard sheltered settings, though operators with larger or commercial-grade parasols in exposed positions should consider whether a heavier base would better suit their environment.

If you are unsure whether this base is right for your parasol size or outdoor setup, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.

The Bolero Sicily is a 2.5 metre round parasol designed for commercial outdoor seating areas. It combines a water-repellent polyester canopy with a hardwood mast and a pulley-operated opening system, giving operators a practical, presentable shade solution that can be set up and taken down quickly by front-of-house staff.

In a working hospitality environment — pub gardens, café terraces, hotel courtyards — a parasol earns its keep by being reliable through a full season of variable British weather. The 245gsm canopy fabric offers reasonable resistance to both rain showers and direct sun, meaning guests can remain seated comfortably without staff needing to react every time conditions change. The pulley system allows one person to raise or lower the canopy without effort, which matters when outdoor covers are being turned around at pace during service.

Practical advantages for day-to-day operation include:

• Fast deployment and pack-down via the ergonomic pulley system
• Water-repellent canopy reduces the need for reactive cover changes during light rain
• Hardwood mast provides a more stable, substantial feel than plastic-pole alternatives
• Classic striped design with twisted tassels suits traditional and contemporary outdoor settings
• Compact footprint at 2.5 metres suits standard outdoor dining table arrangements

At 6.6kg the Sicily is light enough to handle and reposition, but it will require a suitable parasol base — sold separately — to stand safely in open or exposed locations. The hardwood mast and plastic fittings are appropriate for seasonal outdoor use; operators in exposed coastal or high-wind sites should consider whether a heavier, more anchored solution would be more appropriate. This parasol is designed for seasonal use and should be stored appropriately during winter months to protect the canopy and woodwork.

The Sicily suits cafés, restaurants, pubs, and hotels looking for a clean, traditionally styled parasol for covered outdoor dining. For larger terrace areas requiring greater coverage per unit, wider-diameter models may be worth considering. If you are equipping multiple covers and want to discuss quantities or colour options, the team is happy to help you work through what suits your space.

The Bolero Seville is a rectangular outdoor parasol with a 2x3m canopy, designed to provide reliable overhead shade for commercial outdoor dining areas, beer gardens, and hospitality terraces. The canopy is made from UV-resistant fabric at a substantial 245gsm weight, which helps maintain colour and structural integrity through repeated seasonal use rather than fading or sagging after a single summer.

In practice, a 2x3m footprint covers a standard rectangular table seating four to six guests comfortably, making this a practical choice for operators who want consistent shade across individual table settings rather than relying on a single large canopy structure. The crank handle mechanism opens and closes the canopy quickly without requiring significant effort, which matters when staff are adjusting multiple parasols before or during a service period.

The aluminium pole construction keeps the overall weight manageable at 5.5kg, which aids repositioning between services or during setup. The two-pole mast system adds lateral stability, reducing the tendency to lean or shift in moderate breeze conditions that are typical in UK outdoor settings.

• UV-resistant canopy fabric helps protect guests and maintain appearance over time
• Crank mechanism allows quick adjustment without tools or significant effort
• Lightweight aluminium construction makes repositioning practical for front-of-house staff
• Two-pole mast improves stability in breezy outdoor environments
• Compatible with separately purchased parasol bases for secure anchoring

It is worth noting that this parasol requires a suitable base to stand safely — one is not included. For sites with high wind exposure or permanent installations, a weighted base sized appropriately for a 2x3m canopy is strongly advisable. This model is well suited to seasonal hospitality use; operators running year-round covered terraces may want to consider heavier-duty canopy structures instead.

If you are fitting out a number of tables or want to discuss base compatibility and spacing for your specific layout, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

The Bolero Seville is a 3-metre round parasol designed for commercial outdoor seating areas. It provides reliable overhead shade for café terraces, pub gardens, restaurant forecourts, and hospitality venues that need consistent sun protection for their guests throughout the trading day.

The canopy is constructed from UV-resistant fabric at 245gsm, which offers a reasonable level of durability against prolonged sun exposure and light rain. The aluminium pole — 48mm in diameter — gives the structure sufficient rigidity for everyday commercial use, and the twin-pole mast arrangement keeps the canopy stable without excessive bulk. At 6.6kg, it is light enough to be repositioned as required, though a suitable parasol base is essential and sold separately.

From an operational standpoint, the Seville is practical to manage throughout a service period:

• Crank handle allows quick opening and closing without manual effort
• Tilt mechanism lets staff angle the canopy as the sun moves, reducing the need to reposition furniture
• Aluminium construction resists corrosion, which matters in outdoor hospitality settings
• Navy blue finish presents well in most commercial outdoor environments

It is worth noting that this parasol requires a separate base to function safely — this is not included and should be selected to match the pole diameter and the surface it will be installed on. For exposed or high-footfall terraces where wind loading is a greater concern, a heavier-duty or cantilever model may offer better stability.

The Seville is well suited to smaller café terraces, courtyard seating, and managed outdoor dining spaces where a straightforward, manageable parasol is needed across multiple covers. If you are equipping a larger terrace or need parasols that will remain out in all weathers, it is worth discussing your setup with us before ordering.

This is a fillable plastic parasol base from Bolero, designed to anchor outdoor parasols and umbrellas on commercial terraces, beer gardens, and pavement seating areas. Once filled with sand or water it reaches a working weight of 40kg, providing a stable, low-profile footing for a parasol without the need for any ground fixings.

In practice, the base performs well in the kind of exposed outdoor settings common to pub gardens and café forecourts, where wind loading on an open parasol can be significant. Filling with sand gives a more consistent long-term weight; water is a practical choice where the base is likely to be emptied and moved between seasons. Either way, the filling and emptying process is straightforward enough that front-of-house staff can manage it without specialist tools or assistance.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:

• Compact footprint that sits comfortably under standard outdoor tables without restricting leg room
• No ground fixings required, making it suitable for paved, decked, or tiled surfaces
• Quick to fill and empty, keeping seasonal setup and pack-down efficient
• Black finish is neutral and unobtrusive across most outdoor seating schemes
• Plastic construction resists corrosion in wet outdoor conditions

There are no water or electrical connections to consider. The base simply needs a flat, stable surface to sit on. It is worth noting that at 40kg when filled, it will need two members of staff to move safely once loaded. For very large commercial parasols or particularly exposed rooftop locations, a heavier-duty base option may be worth considering.

This base is well suited to cafés, pubs, hotels, and restaurants running modest outdoor seating areas where portability and ease of seasonal storage matter as much as stability. If you are outfitting a larger terrace or need to anchor bigger-format parasols, it is worth a conversation to make sure the base specification is right for what you have in mind.

The Bolero 3m round parasol is a straightforward, practical shade solution for commercial outdoor spaces. Constructed with a wooden frame and polyester canopy in red, it is a commonly used choice for beer gardens, pub terraces, café patios, and other outdoor dining areas where weather protection and a tidy appearance matter.

The canopy spans 3 metres in diameter, providing reasonable cover for a standard outdoor table and seating arrangement. The mechanism is simple to operate — an anodised steel pin and chain system allows the parasol to be opened and secured or closed and stowed quickly, which is practical during changeable weather or at the end of service.

Key operational points worth considering:

• Lightweight at 8kg, making it easy to reposition between service periods
• Pin and chain fixing provides secure locking when open
• Wooden pole construction gives a clean, traditional appearance suitable for most outdoor hospitality settings
• Polyester canopy offers reasonable weather resistance for a seasonal outdoor setup
• Compatible with a weighted base (sold separately) to improve stability in exposed locations

Because this parasol weighs 8kg, it will require a suitable weighted base for safe use in anything other than a sheltered, calm environment. The base is not included and should be sourced alongside the parasol — particularly important for exposed roof terraces or open beer gardens where wind loading is a genuine concern.

This model is well suited to operators equipping a modest patio or seasonal outdoor area. For larger or more permanent outdoor setups requiring greater coverage or heavier-duty construction, it is worth considering higher-capacity alternatives within the range.

If you are outfitting a new outdoor space or unsure how many parasols your layout requires, we are happy to talk it through before you order.

This Bolero round parasol provides overhead cover for outdoor seating areas, offering shade from direct sun and a degree of protection against light rain. The canopy is constructed from water-repellent polyester and is mounted on a wooden pole, making it a straightforward, practical choice for operators looking to extend usable outdoor space through the warmer months.

In a commercial context, the pulley-operated opening mechanism keeps setup simple for staff during daily preparation, without requiring tools or significant effort. The red canopy is a practical choice for venues wanting a defined, consistent look across their outdoor area, and the round format provides relatively even coverage around a central table.

Practical points worth considering before purchasing:

• Water-repellent canopy fabric handles light rain but is not designed for heavy or prolonged downpours
• Pulley system allows quick, single-person deployment during daily setup
• Lightweight build at 6.5kg makes repositioning manageable without additional equipment
• Wood and polyester construction suits seasonal outdoor use with appropriate care and storage
• Base sold separately — confirm compatibility and ballast weight before ordering

This parasol is well suited to beer gardens, pub patios, café terraces, and casual outdoor dining areas with moderate footfall. It is a seasonal-use product and, like most parasols of this construction, will benefit from being stored or secured during periods of high wind or when not in service. For larger or more permanent outdoor installations, or for venues requiring greater coverage per unit, a heavier-duty or larger-diameter option may be more appropriate.

If you are fitting out a new outdoor space or replacing existing cover and want to talk through what will work best for your layout, we are happy to help.

The Bolero Square Double Pulley Parasol is a freestanding outdoor shade parasol with a 2.5m square polyester canopy and a wooden mast. It is designed to provide UV and weather protection for outdoor dining and seating areas, and is available here in green — a finish that suits beer gardens, pub patios, and café terraces equally well.

In practical outdoor hospitality use, a parasol of this size comfortably shades a standard four-seat table with workable clearance for guests and service staff. The water-repellent polyester canopy handles light to moderate rainfall and reduces UV exposure during sunny service periods, helping operators keep outdoor covers productive in variable British weather rather than abandoning them at the first sign of cloud.

The double-pulley opening mechanism is a useful detail for busy venues. It allows staff to raise and lower the canopy without excessive effort, which matters when opening up a terrace at the start of the day or closing down quickly before a rain shower. The wooden mast gives the parasol a natural, unfussy appearance that works alongside most outdoor furniture styles without looking out of place.

• Water-repellent canopy suitable for outdoor service in variable conditions
• Double-pulley system allows quick, low-effort opening and closing
• Wooden mast provides a clean, natural finish suitable for most venues
• UV protection helps keep outdoor seating comfortable during sunny periods
• Straightforward to reposition between service areas as required

This parasol requires a suitable weighted base or ground fixing to stand safely — the base is not included and should be specified to match the parasol weight and your surface type. It is worth considering wind exposure on your site; in exposed locations, a heavier base or a more robust parasol construction may be more appropriate.

This model is well suited to pubs, cafés, and restaurants running a modest outdoor seating area where a practical, presentable shade solution is needed without significant outlay. For larger terraces or high-wind sites, a heavier-duty commercial parasol with a larger canopy or reinforced frame may be worth considering.

If you are fitting out an outdoor area and want to talk through what will work for your specific setup, the team is happy to help.

The Bolero 2.5m square parasol is a straightforward, practical shade solution for commercial outdoor seating areas. It uses a double pulley mechanism to raise and lower the canopy, which keeps operation simple for front-of-house staff during setup and close-down. The canopy is made from a water-repellent polyester fabric, and the mast is a natural wood finish — a combination that sits comfortably in most outdoor dining settings without looking overly industrial.

In a busy service environment, the pulley system means the parasol can be deployed or packed away quickly without needing tools or significant effort. The polyester canopy offers reliable protection against both direct sun and light rain, which helps keep outdoor covers usable across a longer portion of the trading day rather than only in ideal conditions. At 8.5kg, the unit is light enough to handle easily but benefits from a weighted or ground-fixed base to remain stable in wind — particularly relevant for exposed terraces or rooftop settings.

• Water-repellent polyester canopy resists light rain and provides sun shade
• Double pulley system allows quick, tool-free raising and lowering
• Natural wooden mast suits traditional and contemporary outdoor spaces
• Lightweight construction makes handling easy for service staff
• Square canopy shape provides even coverage over standard outdoor tables

One practical consideration: the base is sold separately, and the right base choice matters for stability. For sheltered courtyards, a standard weighted base is typically sufficient. For more exposed positions, a heavier or ground-fixed option is worth considering. The parasol is suited to cafes, restaurants, pubs, and hotels operating outdoor dining areas where a clean, unfussy aesthetic is preferred.

If you are fitting out a larger terrace or need guidance on base compatibility and quantities, the team is happy to talk through the options before you order.

The Bolero 3m round parasol is a straightforward shade solution for commercial outdoor seating areas. Made from 100% polyester canopy fabric, it is designed to provide practical overhead protection for customers in patio, beer garden, and café forecourt settings. The navy blue colourway is a popular choice for commercial venues — neutral enough to complement most outdoor furniture and branded environments without dominating the look of the space.

At 3m in diameter, the canopy provides a reasonable footprint for covering a small cluster of seats — typically a table for four with adequate overhang. The lightweight construction at 7.5kg makes it straightforward for front-of-house staff to set up and put away without assistance. The open-and-close mechanism is simple by design, which matters in a busy outdoor service environment where staff time is limited.

A few practical points worth considering before ordering:

• A weighted base is essential for safe outdoor use — these are available separately and should be sized appropriately for exposed sites
• The parasol is suitable for sheltered to moderately exposed positions; high-wind locations may need a heavier anchorage solution
• The 100% polyester fabric is practical for commercial use but will benefit from being closed and stored during periods of heavy rain or strong wind to extend service life
• Navy blue is a single fixed colourway — confirm it suits your venue before ordering

This parasol suits smaller outdoor seating areas, pop-up operations, and venues adding shade to an existing setup without significant investment. For larger covered areas or more exposed sites, a heavier-duty or wall-mounted option may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure which parasol size or base specification suits your outdoor setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Bolero round parasol is a practical shade solution for commercial outdoor dining areas including pub beer gardens, café terraces and restaurant patios. Constructed from 100% polyester fabric stretched over a frame, it provides reliable protection from sun and light rain, helping operators extend usable covers outdoors during warmer service periods.

For day-to-day use, the opening and closing mechanism is straightforward enough for front-of-house staff to manage quickly between covers. The navy blue colourway is a neutral, professional choice that sits well against most outdoor furniture and exterior settings without dominating the space.

At under 6kg, the parasol itself is light enough to move and reposition as needed. That portability does mean it requires a suitable weighted base to remain stable in anything other than calm conditions — bases are sold separately and are worth factoring into any outdoor setup. Operators in exposed sites or those subject to coastal winds should pay particular attention to base weight and anchoring.

• Lightweight construction suits venues that reconfigure outdoor layouts regularly
• Easy-open mechanism reduces reliance on staff training or supervision
• Navy blue fabric works well across a range of outdoor furniture schemes
• Suitable for patios, courtyard dining and covered beer garden setups
• Compatible with separately available weighted bases for stability

This parasol is well suited to seasonal outdoor setups at pubs, cafés and casual dining venues. For sites with permanent outdoor dining or high-footfall terraces, a heavier or larger-format parasol may offer a more robust long-term solution.

If you're fitting out a new outdoor area or want guidance on quantities and base options, our team is happy to talk through what works in practice.

The Bolero 3m round parasol is a practical overhead shade solution for commercial outdoor seating areas. It uses a wooden frame paired with a black polyester canopy, giving it a clean, neutral appearance that sits comfortably in most venue settings — pub gardens, café terraces, hotel patios, and general al fresco dining spaces alike.

At 3m diameter, the canopy provides a solid footprint of shade over a single table and its surrounding seats. The wooden construction gives it a traditional look without being ornate, and at 8kg it is light enough to reposition or bring in at the end of service without much effort. The polyester canopy offers reasonable weather resistance for typical UK outdoor conditions — adequate shade during sunny periods and basic cover during a light shower.

A few practical points worth working through before ordering:

• A parasol base is not included and must be sourced separately — choose a base weight appropriate for your site's wind exposure
• The black canopy will absorb more heat than a lighter-coloured alternative, which may be a consideration on south-facing or particularly exposed sites
• Coverage is designed for a single table arrangement; larger terraces will need multiple units planned across the space

This parasol is well suited to smaller outdoor areas or as a repeating unit across a larger seating layout. For venues needing broader canopy spans or heavier-duty frame construction, larger-format commercial options may be worth considering instead.

If you're working out quantities, base options, or layout for a fuller outdoor setup, we're happy to talk through what would work best for your site before you place an order.

The Bolero 3m round parasol is a traditional-style overhead shade solution for commercial outdoor seating areas. The canopy is constructed from polyester stretched over a wooden frame, giving it a warmer, more conventional appearance than aluminium or steel alternatives. The cream colourway sits neutrally against most exterior furniture and paving, making it a straightforward choice for operators who want a clean, unfussy look.

In practical terms, a 3m canopy provides reasonable coverage for a small table grouping — typically one or two tables with chairs beneath, depending on your layout. The wooden frame suits traditional settings such as pub gardens, café terraces, and hotel courtyards where a softer aesthetic is part of the overall customer experience. At 8kg the parasol is light enough to reposition between services without difficulty, though a suitable weighted base is essential for safe, stable use — particularly in any location that is not fully sheltered from wind.

A few points worth considering before ordering:

• Best suited to sheltered or semi-sheltered settings rather than fully exposed, high-wind locations
• Requires a compatible weighted base — confirm compatibility before purchasing
• The polyester canopy is weather-resistant but will benefit from storage or a protective cover during extended periods of poor weather
• Cream canopies show soiling more readily than darker colours — factor cleaning frequency into your decision
• The wooden pole suits traditional and rustic environments; a metal-frame parasol may read better in more contemporary settings

This parasol is well suited to smaller outdoor seating areas where appearance carries as much weight as function. Operators furnishing a larger terrace, or sites exposed to more demanding weather conditions, may find that a heavier-duty or larger-canopy option from the wider range is a better fit.

If you are weighing up sizing or coverage for your layout, the team is glad to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Bolero 3m round parasol is a practical overhead shade solution designed for outdoor hospitality settings. Built with a wooden pole and frame paired with a polyester canopy, it provides reliable cover for customers seated on patios, in beer gardens, or across outdoor dining terraces. The green canopy sits comfortably within traditional pub and garden aesthetics, though it works equally well in café or restaurant settings looking for a clean, unfussy outdoor look.

At 3m in diameter, a single unit covers a sensible seating footprint — generally sufficient for a standard round or square table with chairs. The wooden construction gives it a more considered appearance than steel-framed alternatives, which matters in customer-facing outdoor spaces where presentation contributes to the overall experience. The polyester canopy is straightforward to wipe down and holds up reasonably well against light rain and sun, provided the frame is maintained appropriately between seasons.

A few practical points worth considering before ordering:

• The parasol base is sold separately — confirm any base you choose is rated for a 3m canopy
• Wooden frames benefit from seasonal treatment to protect against weathering and extend service life
• At 8kg, the unit is manageable for one person during daily set-up and breakdown
• Not suited to exposed or high-wind locations without a properly weighted base

This parasol is well suited to smaller outdoor hospitality operations — a pub garden, a café courtyard, or a hotel terrace — where ease of handling and a tidy finish are the priority. For venues with larger covered areas or significant outdoor seating, heavier-framed or commercial-grade shade structures may be a more appropriate fit.

If you're planning an outdoor seating area and want to work through how many units you'll need or which base will suit your setup, we're glad to help before you commit to an order.

The Bolero 2.5m round parasol is a straightforward, practical shade solution designed for commercial outdoor seating — beer gardens, pub terraces, café patios, and restaurant outdoor areas. The frame is wood construction with a polyester canopy in black, giving it a clean, neutral appearance that sits well across a range of venue styles without drawing attention away from the setting.

At 2.5 metres in diameter, the canopy provides a reasonable coverage footprint for a standard outdoor table of four. The wood frame keeps the overall weight modest, which makes repositioning manageable during set-up or when adjusting for changing light through the day. Polyester canopies at this price point are practical choices for seasonal use — they provide adequate weather resistance in typical UK outdoor conditions, though extended exposure to heavy rain or strong wind will naturally reduce the lifespan of any parasol in this category.

Practical benefits for outdoor operators include:

• Neutral black colourway suits most commercial outdoor schemes
• Wood and polyester construction keeps the unit lightweight and easy to handle
• 2.5m canopy diameter gives useful shade coverage for a standard four-seat table
• Compatible with a separately available parasol base (sold separately)
• Simple to erect and pack down at the end of service

It is worth noting that a suitable weighted base is required and is sold separately — this is an important consideration before ordering, as the parasol cannot be used without one. For venues with a large number of covers or where parasols are likely to remain outdoors for extended periods, a heavier-duty, more weather-resistant option may be worth considering.

This parasol is well suited to smaller venues, seasonal outdoor set-ups, or operators looking to add shade provision without significant capital outlay. If you are equipping a larger terrace or want guidance on quantities or base compatibility, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Bolero round parasol is a straightforward, practical shade solution for commercial outdoor seating areas. Built with a wooden pole and polyester canopy in cream, it is a commonly used choice for pub beer gardens, restaurant terraces, café patios, and any outdoor dining space that needs reliable cover from sun and light weather.

The polyester canopy holds its shape well under regular outdoor use and is reasonably easy to wipe down between services. The cream finish is neutral enough to suit most outdoor settings without clashing with existing furniture schemes. At 6.5kg, it is light enough for staff to move and reposition without difficulty, which is useful when layouts shift across the day or season.

• Practical shade for outdoor dining tables during service periods
• Lightweight enough for staff to reposition as required
• Cream canopy suits a range of outdoor furniture schemes
• Wood and polyester construction balances appearance with durability
• Suitable for beer gardens, terraces, and café patios

One point worth noting: like most parasols in this category, it is best suited to sheltered outdoor spaces. In exposed or high-wind locations, additional weighting or anchoring should be considered, and parasols should be closed when not in use or when weather conditions deteriorate.

This model works well for operators equipping a modest outdoor area. For larger terraces or sites with a greater number of covers, it is worth considering whether a larger canopy diameter or a more heavy-duty freestanding option would serve better.

If you are fitting out an outdoor space and want a steer on quantities or which parasol suits your layout, we are happy to help — just get in touch with the team.

This is a straightforward, mid-sized round parasol from Bolero designed for outdoor hospitality use. The 2.5m diameter canopy is constructed from green polyester stretched over a wooden frame, providing reliable shade and weather protection for customers seated at outdoor tables. It is a practical, no-frills option commonly used in pub beer gardens, café terraces and restaurant patios where a clean, traditional appearance is appropriate.

In everyday outdoor service, the parasol performs well in typical UK conditions — shading a standard table and its surrounding seating adequately during sunny periods. The wooden frame gives it a more considered aesthetic than all-metal alternatives, which suits venues where appearance matters as much as function. At 6.5kg it is light enough to be repositioned without difficulty, though it will require a suitable weighted base to stand safely in use. The base is not included and should be sourced separately.

A few practical points worth considering before ordering:

• A compatible parasol base is required and sold separately — check that any base is rated for a 2.5m canopy
• The wooden pole will benefit from seasonal treatment or storage if left outdoors throughout winter
• Not designed for permanent fixed installation or exposed rooftop settings with high wind exposure
• Green polyester canopy suits classic or traditional outdoor settings; colour choice may matter in brand-conscious venues

This size works well for smaller outdoor areas or venues with a modest number of covers. For larger terraces or venues needing consistent shade across multiple seating zones, larger canopy options or commercial-grade alternatives with heavier frames may be more appropriate.
