Premium Acrylic Awning Fabric:

The high-quality acrylic awning fabric is made of 100% solution-dyed branded acrylic. Unlike conventional yarn dyeing, the color pigments are incorporated directly during the fiber production process. This ensures highly reliable protection against harmful UV radiation while maintaining long-lasting, vibrant, and lightfast colors.

The robust acrylic fabric also impresses with its high tear resistance. A special protective finish makes the material water- and dirt-repellent. This provides a durable and proven solution for long-term outdoor use.

Accessories such as heaters, integrated lighting and motor drives are available for BIG BEN series umbrellas.

Big, bigger, GRANDE. Where standard umbrellas are no longer sufficient, the robust center mast umbrella scores with its large spans. In the catering trade, the shade provider with a surface area of up to almost 80 m2 provides a pleasant ambience for a large number of guests. Large terraces and outdoor areas offer plenty of space for socializing and relaxing. It is therefore especially important to provide sufficient and comfortable shade. If a normal parasol is not enough, large umbrellas are in demand as shade providers.

Durable construction:

Only the best materials and especially strong aluminum profiles are used in the sturdy construction of the Grande. The solid pole has a diameter of 120 mm and a wall thickness of 5 mm, making it stronger than most in its class.

Robust anchoring:

The mast is fixed to a 450 kg steel plate with several screws. The plate (150 x 150 cm) is placed on a concrete foundation. Thus, the Grande is safe and stable in any weather. Alternatively, the parasol can be anchored by means of a ground sleeve.

Sophisticated telescopic mechanism:

The advantage: when closing, the telescopic mechanism extends the pole! Table and patio furniture can simply remain standing.

Power struts:

The umbrella struts made of strong 60 x 30 mm aluminum with additional U-reinforcements ensure wind stability even at high spans.
