The 8 ribs and the pole are made from an anodised aluminium. This material guarantees a long lifespan. Quality-wise, anodised aluminium is much better than painted aluminium. It's colour won't fade over time.

The thickness of the aluminium is 2.2mm for the pole and 1.1mm for the ribs. The crank handle and fittings are made from cast aluminium.

The thick 100% acrylic canopy weighs 260g/m2 and is mass-dyed. This means its colour won't fade and the canopy comes with a 5-year discolouration guarantee. With its teflon coating, anti-stain/mould and condensation treatment, the Agora fabric is both grime and UV-resistant. It's also fully water-repellent.

The canopy can be removed and washed on a 30°C cycle or wiped down with a bleach solution.

The Pyla parasol has a useful, 360° rotating base. This means you can adjust it to give you a shady spot whatever the time of day. The umbrella can be tilted from 4° to 50°.

It's easy to open and close thanks to its crank handle. The parasol comes with polyethylene dust cover to keep it protected when not in use.

Please note that this parasol is sold separately, without a parasol base. It is essential to use a base to ground this cantilever parasol.

Here are several bases that we sell that are compatible with the Pyla:
Square parasol 51x51cm base panels
Parasol base with castors 85x85cm

You can also find specialist concrete ballasts (measuring from 40x40cm to 50x50cm) in larger DIY shops. As is common with cantilever parasols, this parasol does not resist well to extreme weather conditions, for example, heavy rain or wind. If your parasol is moving in the wind or breeze, we advise closing it immediately to prevent incurring any damage.
