A giant garden umbrella to add shade and shelter to your garden
Are you looking for a very large parasol or giant umbrella designed specifically for outdoor use? A giant umbrella is a great option in a residential home setting, immediately transforming any terrace or garden into a desirable contemporary space that is perfect for alfresco entertaining with friends or family.
Our giant umbrellas are built to last using quality materials so you can ensure to get plenty of years of use out of the umbrella. Using high grade aluminium for the frames and strong canvas’ our giant umbrellas can stand up strong to the British weather.
Built to withstand the elements
Offering greater shelter than an awning, a giant umbrella from Loca Shading Designs will provide fantastic protection from the elements throughout the year. Even in the most unpredictable British weather conditions. This will immediately transform an outdoor space that is currently only utilised in fine weather, into a popular area to be enjoyed year-round.
We supply only the highest quality products, from German brands such as Uhlmann, MDT, and May.
- Engineered to the most exacting standards, all their models are seriously robust, hard-wearing, and fully serviceable.
- They are also thoroughly tested in wind tunnels to ensure unrivalled strength, stability, and longevity of use.
- For added peace of mind, these products are backed by a 5-year warranty, subject to normal wear and tear.
- All these products are incredibly easy to use, opening and closing using a simple gearbox arrangement with a handle.
Fully customisable
Creating your own unique garden umbrella is an exciting prospect, as the number of options is almost endless. As part of the free design consultation process, Loca Shading Designs can help you select the perfect product for your requirements.
- Parasols are available in round, square and rectangular shapes, in sizes ranging from a compact 2×2-metre to an impressive 10-metre diameter that will shelter an enormous area.
- Some designs can also be joined together using fabric gutters, to create even larger covered areas.
- According to the intended use and location, a giant umbrella can be either removable or permanently installed.
- There are several options for fixing directly into the ground, or the umbrella can sit on top of a removable base for greater flexibility of use.
Options include:
- The popular centre-pull style umbrella, as well as the cantilever (or side-arm) umbrella that works excellently in a situation where, for example, you want to cover a patio without in-bedding the umbrella in the ground.
- Wooden planters, or screens made of fabric or glass and aluminium, may also be recommended to help to delineate separate areas and provide even greater weather protection.
- You can add further finishing touches to your bespoke umbrella with optional accessories such as lighting, heating, speakers, and gutters.
