Details

The Levante has been masterfully engineered to produce an elegant, sturdy umbrella whilst using the most effective materials for shielding you from the sun.

Operation

One of the main features of any parasol is the ease with which it can be opened and closed. The double pulley and rope mechanism that operates this parasol is designed to be long-lasting and made using high-quality materials. To open the canopy, you have to pull downwards on one side of the rope and it will slowly start opening. To close it, just pull the other end until it’s completely collapsed.

Materials Used

This large garden umbrella was tested in a wind tunnel up to 90 km/h to check the resistance of the frame and canopy. See the video for more details.

The frame – is made from premium, laminated bamboo wood with stainless steel fittings which prevent rusting and ensure it lasts for years.

The canopy – is made using Spuncrylic – a material highly resistant to fade, making the Bambrella Levante an adaptable garden umbrella, handcrafted from high-quality materials.

If required, the ribs can be replaced individually without the need to disassemble the entire structure, and the canopy fabric can be easily removed for maintenance or replacement.

FIXATION

If it’s placed through the middle of the table, you can choose a lighter base – the Granite 30kg.

50 kg black granite base

If your parasol will be free-standing, it should be fixed in a heavy base (50kg) to make sure the wind won’t blow it away. Either concrete or granite, both have a set of handles and optional wheels for transportation.

The strongest fixation available is the in-ground base. This type of fixation will require a hole in the ground (approx. 70-80cm), which will be filled with concrete. It also has a reduced footprint, considerably reducing the tripping hazard.

ACCESSORIES

Protective cover

When stored or not in use, we recommend keeping your parasol in a protective cover. This will increase its life and will better protect it against fading and mould.

Heaters

Can be easily fitted to the central pole, supporting dimensions from 25 to 55 mm. The Heater 1500 is a halogen parasol heater creating a pleasant and warm place under the canopy. Each of the three lamps has 500W power. (*) Available only by phone.

Canopy Materials

Canopy Materials

Bamcrylic Parasol Cover Material

Bamcrylic polyester is the industry standard for hotels, restaurants and any other hospitality location.

Bamcrylic offers customers:

  • A polyester which has been through a process called solution dying, a technique used to add colour to a synthetic fibre.
  • A solution dyed canopy colouring through all layers of the polyester thread, guaranteeing more vibrant, longer lasting colour.
  • A high-level of resistance to fading from direct sunlight.
  • A canopy which offers good stain resistance and water repellence.
  • An affordable canopy which provides resistance to all weather conditions.
  • A canopy which delivers a *UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of at least 50.

*UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor), Indicates the fraction of the sun’s ultraviolet rays that penetrate fabric. Example, Material with a UPF of 50, allows just 1/50th of the sun’s UV radiation to reach your skin. The higher the UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor), the greater the protection offered.

Polyester Canopy Cover Material

The standard, piece dyed polyester is the entry level parasol canopy and one you will find most commonly on parasols available on the high street. The standard polyester is a great option if you’re working on a budget. While it only comes with a 1 year warranty, if looked after, it should last well beyond that. Polyester offers customers:

  • Polyester is a strong fibre, resistant to creasing and keeps its shape.
  • Polyester is piece dyed meaning the thread is only coloured on the outside of the canopy, like a radish!
  • Offers an affordable alternative to Spuncrylic
  • Shade Specialists only offer polyester covers in two natural colours, beige and natural as darker, stronger colours would be more susceptible to fading over time.

Base Guide

In these cases, if the table is light (less than 20kg in weight), please follow the free-standing guide. If you are situated in areas that are prone to strong gusts and wind conditions over 25mph, please exercise caution and in most cases, go for a heavier-weighted base. In all cases, if the parasols are going to stay in position, we would recommend fitting a ground base as a more solid, stable option. Parasol going through a sturdy table ie: weighing over 20kg
