The framework
The poles of our sunshades are all made
of high-quality alloyed, extruded
aluminium profiles. Frame surfaces are
powder-coated and shockproof, available
in the standard colours white RAL 9010
or brown RAL 8019. Anodized EV-1 silvergrey
on request. Head plate and
decorative ball match the
sunshade.
Wind tunnel tested
We were able to prove the stability and
sturdiness of our sunshades during
various tests in the wind tunnel. Even
wind speeds of 50 km/h could not harm
a sunshade of 500 cm diameter. Given
that the support frame is adequately
weighed down and the wind conditions
of the planned location are taken into
account, stability is guaranteed. All parts
are completely maintenance- free.
Cover
The cover fits perfectly even after years
of use due to a special self-tightening
spring mechanism. The robust sunshade
central rods consist of disc with support
struts and spokes. In order to prevent the
spokes from twisting, the lower diecast
disc is firmly welded to the support pole.
Installation
Our sunshades are supplied already
assembled in a cardboard sleeve.
Irrespective of the size of your shade,
the few stages of final assembly take
just a few minutes: Withdraw sunshade
from sleeve, remove packaging material,
screw on head plate and place sunshade
mast into holding tube.
Joints
All moving axis are fitted with
bolts. This extravagant technology
ensures maximum stability and durability
as well as easy execution of repairs. The
spacer between spokes with supporting
struts prevents jamming of the cloth.
When not in use
The protective cover provided can be
fitted over the shade during bad weather
periods. The round cardboard tube is
also suitable for winter storage.
Wind resistance model Albatros
In accordance with DIN and European Norms, parasols are classified as "flying constructions" and must be calculated taking
static wind load into account. The figures stated here are based on the the latest 2004 DIN 1055 and DIN 4112 standards.
