Parasols

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 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.

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.

This Bolero parasol base is a straightforward, practical solution for stabilising outdoor parasols and umbrellas at commercial hospitality venues. Made from plastic and designed to be filled with water, it provides the ballast needed to hold a parasol securely in place without requiring any permanent fixing to the ground.

For outdoor seating areas at pubs, cafés, hotels, and restaurants, keeping parasols stable during service is a daily operational concern. A base that can be filled and emptied as required makes it considerably easier for staff to set up and clear down outdoor spaces at the start and end of each day, or ahead of adverse weather. The plastic construction keeps the empty weight manageable, so handling and storage between seasons is straightforward.

A few practical points worth noting:

• Fills with water to reach a usable working weight once in position
• Compact footprint suited to table bases and patio arrangements
• Quick to fill and drain, reducing staff time during set-up and pack-away
• Plastic construction resists corrosion in outdoor environments
• Compatible with standard Bolero parasol poles

This base is well suited to venues with a modest number of outdoor covers where straightforward, seasonal use is the priority. For sites with larger parasols, exposed locations, or high-wind environments, it is worth considering whether a heavier or more substantial base would be more appropriate for your specific setup.

If you are fitting out an outdoor space and want to make sure you have the right combination of parasols and bases for your layout, we are happy to talk it through.

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.

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 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 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 2m x 3m canopy, finished in black. It is designed to provide consistent overhead shade for commercial outdoor dining areas, terraces, and pub gardens. The canopy uses a UV-resistant fabric, which helps maintain colour stability and structural integrity through prolonged exposure to direct sunlight across a full season of outdoor service.

In a commercial context, the rectangular format suits table arrangements more practically than a square or round canopy, as it aligns naturally with rows of seating and covers a greater usable area per unit. The crank handle mechanism makes raising and lowering the canopy straightforward for front-of-house staff without needing to handle the canopy directly, which reduces wear and keeps the fabric in better condition over time. The twin-pole mast construction adds lateral stability, which is a relevant consideration for sites that are exposed to wind or where the parasol will be left raised during quieter periods.

• UV-resistant canopy fabric supports extended outdoor use throughout the season
• Rectangular format suits commercial table layouts more efficiently than square alternatives
• Crank handle allows quick, easy adjustment without handling the canopy directly
• Twin-pole mast improves stability in exposed or breezy locations
• Compatible with separately purchased parasol bases for secure ground fixing

It is worth noting that no base is included with this parasol. For any permanent or semi-permanent outdoor setup, a suitable weighted base is essential, and the right base weight will depend on the exposure of your site. If you are furnishing a larger terrace and need to cover multiple seating areas, it is worth considering how many units you need and how they will be positioned relative to your tables before ordering.

This parasol is well suited to cafés, restaurants, pubs, and hotels operating an outdoor dining area at moderate to high cover counts. If you are equipping a large roof terrace or a site with significant wind exposure, it is worth having a conversation with us about the most appropriate specification before committing to a quantity.

This is a straightforward protective cover designed to keep a standard upright parasol clean and sheltered when it is not in use. Made from weather-resistant polyester, it fits over the closed canopy and pole to guard against rain, dust, and prolonged UV exposure — all of which can degrade parasol fabric and fade colour over time.

In a commercial outdoor setting, parasols represent a meaningful investment, and leaving them uncovered through the off-season or overnight in poor weather accelerates wear. Fitting a cover at the end of service is a simple habit that noticeably extends the working life of the parasol and keeps it looking presentable for guests.

• Weather-resistant polyester resists moisture and UV degradation
• Drawstring closure holds the cover securely in wind
• Lightweight and easy to fit and remove quickly between services
• Folds into a carry case for tidy off-season storage
• Helps prevent mildew build-up on stored parasol fabric

Installation is minimal — the cover slips over a closed parasol and is secured with a drawstring. There are no tools, fixings, or technical requirements. It is worth confirming that your parasol dimensions fall within the 1900x450mm sizing before ordering, as a poor fit will reduce the protection offered. This cover is intended for standard straight-pole parasols; cantilever or offset styles are unlikely to be compatible.

Well suited to pub gardens, restaurant terraces, and café outdoor areas where parasols are in regular seasonal use. If you are covering a larger or non-standard parasol, it is worth checking whether an alternative size would be a better match — the team is happy to advise.

The Bolero Venice is a large-format cantilever parasol designed for commercial outdoor seating areas. Unlike a centre-pole parasol, the cantilever configuration positions the support arm to one side, allowing the canopy to float over a table or seating group without a central obstruction. This makes it a practical choice for hospitality operators who need to cover tables cleanly without disrupting the layout beneath.

The polyester canopy is rated at 245gsm, which gives it reasonable resistance to prolonged sun exposure. It carries UV resistance and flame-retardant properties — the latter being a relevant consideration for licensed premises and venues where compliance with fire safety guidance is expected. The canopy is supported by eight ribs, which helps it hold its shape in moderate wind rather than distorting under load.

The 360-degree rotation allows operators to reposition the canopy as the sun moves throughout the day without shifting the base, which is a practical advantage during a full service run. The crank handle mechanism opens and closes the canopy without effort, which matters when staff are managing a busy terrace alongside other duties.

• Cantilever arm removes obstruction beneath the canopy
• Rotation adjusts shade position without moving the base
• UV and flame-resistant canopy for commercial compliance
• Crank handle allows quick, easy operation for front-of-house staff

This parasol is well suited to pub gardens, restaurant terraces, and café outdoor areas handling moderate to high covers. For very exposed or high-wind locations, a heavier ballast base and additional anchoring should be considered — the parasol's size means wind loading is a real operational factor. Base weights are sold separately and should be specified carefully relative to the canopy size.

If you're fitting out a terrace and want to talk through coverage requirements, base options, or how many units you'd need for a given space, the team is happy to help you work through it before you order.

This is a straightforward protective cover designed to fit large parasols and cantilever umbrellas when they are not in use. Made from weatherproof polyester, it shields the parasol fabric and frame from rain, UV exposure, and dust accumulation — the main causes of premature fading and deterioration in outdoor covers left exposed between service periods.

In commercial outdoor settings — pub gardens, hotel terraces, café courtyards — parasols represent a meaningful investment, and leaving them unprotected through off-season months or overnight significantly shortens their working life. A fitted cover is one of the most practical ways to protect that investment with minimal effort from staff.

The cover fastens with a drawstring closure, which helps keep it secure in windy conditions — a common practical concern for rooftop or exposed terrace sites. It folds down into a carry bag when not in use, making storage straightforward at the end of service or the end of the season.

It is worth confirming your parasol dimensions before ordering. This cover is sized for larger parasols; if your site uses a mix of smaller or compact umbrellas, a different size may be more appropriate. For operators with a large number of outdoor covers to protect, it is worth discussing requirements before purchasing in bulk to ensure the fit is right across your range.

If you are unsure whether this size suits your existing parasols, or if you need covers across a larger outdoor seating area, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work through the options.

This is a 15kg round concrete parasol base finished in black, designed to hold a compatible parasol pole securely in outdoor dining and leisure settings. It accepts a 38mm diameter pole and provides a stable, weighted anchor without requiring any permanent fixing to the ground.

For casual outdoor dining areas — café terraces, pub gardens, hotel courtyards — a freestanding weighted base is often the most practical solution. The 15kg mass is sufficient for everyday conditions, though in exposed or particularly windy locations, operators should assess whether additional ballast or a heavier base would be more appropriate.

The concrete construction handles outdoor exposure well, and a few practical details make it easier to manage in a busy hospitality environment:

• Rubber ring around the edge reduces surface damage when bases are moved or positioned close to furniture
• Rubber feet add grip on hard surfaces and lift the base slightly to reduce moisture contact with the floor below
• Black finish sits neutrally alongside most outdoor furniture ranges

One consideration worth noting: at 15kg this base is manageable for repositioning, but staff should use appropriate manual handling practice when moving multiple units. For more exposed outdoor settings or larger parasol canopies, a heavier base may provide a more confident hold.

This base suits smaller parasols used in sheltered or semi-sheltered outdoor dining areas. For operators equipping larger terraces or areas with greater wind exposure, it is worth discussing whether a higher-capacity option would be more appropriate for the setting. Feel free to get in touch if you would like guidance on the right specification for your site.

The Bolero Sicily is a 2.5-metre round garden parasol designed for commercial outdoor dining spaces. It uses a water-repellent polyester canopy to provide reasonable shelter from both direct sun and light rain, and the hardwood mast gives it a more traditional appearance suited to pub gardens, café terraces, and casual dining venues that want a classic rather than modern aesthetic.

In practical terms, the Sicily is straightforward to operate. The pulley-based opening mechanism means staff can raise or lower the canopy quickly when conditions change, which matters during a busy service when time spent fussing with outdoor furniture is time lost elsewhere. The twisted tassel edging adds a finishing detail that tends to work well in relaxed, informal settings.

Key operational points worth noting:

• Water-repellent canopy offers protection during light showers
• Pulley system allows quick deployment and packing away
• Hardwood mast suits traditional or heritage-style settings
• Round canopy shape provides even shade coverage around a table
• Green mix colourway works well in garden and courtyard environments

This parasol will need a suitable weighted base or ground socket to stand safely — neither is included, and selecting the right base for your surface type is important, particularly in exposed locations where wind loading is a consideration. For high-footfall venues or sites with more demanding weather exposure, a larger or more heavily constructed parasol may be worth considering.

The Sicily suits smaller outdoor covers — a single table setting or a compact terrace. It is a practical, mid-range choice for operators who want a tidy, traditional-looking parasol without unnecessary complexity. If you are equipping a larger outdoor area or need advice on base options and quantities, the team is happy to help you work through what makes sense for your setup.

This cover from Bolero is designed to protect standard sun loungers when they are not in use or during periods of poor weather. Sized at 2100 x 700mm, it is intended to fit most common lounger formats and provides a straightforward solution for operators looking to extend the working life of their outdoor furniture.

The cover is made from a heavy-duty polyester with a water-resistant finish, which helps guard against rain, damp, and general outdoor exposure. UV protection is incorporated into the material to reduce fading and surface deterioration caused by prolonged sun exposure — a practical consideration for any piece of outdoor furniture left in position through the summer season.

A drawstring closure keeps the cover seated securely on the lounger, which is particularly useful in exposed locations where wind is a factor. When not required, the cover folds down compactly for storage.

• Water-resistant finish for outdoor exposure
• UV protection reduces fading and cracking over time
• Drawstring closure for a secure fit in windy conditions
• Folds compactly for straightforward storage
• Suitable for poolside, terrace, and garden settings

This cover suits operators running outdoor seating across hospitality venues, hotels, leisure centres, or resort environments where protecting furniture investment between seasons or during off-peak periods matters. For operators with non-standard lounger dimensions or unusually high-volume outdoor estates, it is worth checking fit compatibility before purchasing across a large quantity.

If you have questions about suitability for your specific lounger stock or outdoor setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
