The most durable materials for outdoor parasols

There are days that only need a good shade to make them memorable. An alfresco meal, a lingering conversation or that moment of absolute calm with the sea in the background. Garbar's sunshades don't just protect from the sun: they elevate the experience and make your outdoor space a true haven, full of life, style and freshness.

For that to be possible, the material matters. In outdoor furniture, strength and durability are as important as aesthetics. That's why at Garbar each parasol is precision engineered and manufactured with materials designed to stand the test of time and the seasons..

Three materials, three lifestyles

 

Our new Mallorca Parasol is a contemporary piece that stands out for its functionality. Evoking the elegance and charm of the Mediterranean coasts, its aluminium structure and crank opening, available in black or white, makes this side parasol an essential piece for hotels, gardens and terraces overlooking the sea. Inspired by the beauty of the island of Mallorca, its design combines functionality and style, creating a perfect refuge to enjoy the sun and sea breeze..

 

The Santorini Parasol, with its adjustable stainless steel pole, is ideal for spaces that demand extra strength. Steel is the most robust material for outdoor use: it withstands demanding conditions, maintains its flawless appearance and guarantees stability, even in windy or wet locations..

 

For those who prefer natural materials, the Madeira Parasol combines the visual warmth of varnished tropical wood with the strength needed for everyday use. Treated to withstand the elements, this weather-resistant wood brings a timeless, summery feel that connects with the serene character of the sea.

 

Fabrics that protect and last

 

And if the structure is the skeleton, the fabric is the soul of the parasol. At Garbar, we select high quality polyester fabrics, specifically designed for outdoor use. These materials not only filter UV rays, protecting the skin and preventing sunburn, but also retain their colours when exposed to the sun and are easy to clean. The dark tones, as well as being stylish, absorb radiation better and conceal stains and signs of wear, making them a smart and durable choice.
