Vortex Parasols Installed at Westonbirt Arboretum

WESTONBIRT ARBORETUM Installation at Westonbirt Arboretum: Global Parasols was called in by Westonbirt Arboretum to replace a jumbo 10m round parasol that had previously been supplied by a competitor.  The 10m parasol was too large for the site and too cumbersome for the onsite staff to erect and take down on a daily basis. We recommended the installation of two 6.0m hexagonal Vortex parasols.  The Vortex is an all-weather parasol - which meant that the parasols could be left up on an on-going basis.  In addition, by [...]

Ultra Strong Parasols Installed at Coastal Bar

The specification: The family of this privately owned business based at the Yacht Haven Marina decided to completely refurbish the outside balcony area of the upstairs bar. Part of this revamp required all year round shelter with heat and light and a base that did not require concreting into the ground. The solution: Due to the very windy location and balcony positioning, we decided that the Vortex with a white canopy would not only look superb in a marine setting but would be the strongest [...]
