Find the perfect parasol: A guide for all tastes
Belveo offers around fifteen different parasol models on its website. There's something for everyone: center-pole parasols , cantilever parasols , a classic range, a professional range, various canopy sizes , and several canopy colors. With so many options, it can sometimes be a little overwhelming. That's why this article presents the different choices available to you so you can make the right decision.
Central pole parasol or offset pole parasol?
The center-pole parasol is the one we all know. Center-pole parasols are primarily designed to be placed in the center of a table and have the advantage of being very stable . They can also be placed between two sun loungers . The drawback of this type of parasol is its limited adjustability. For example, it cannot be tilted. Therefore, they are not the most adaptable for providing shade throughout the day. At Belveo, you will find center-pole parasols with octagonal, rectangular, or square canopies.
The cantilever parasol, on the other hand, has the advantage of being able to tilt almost vertically and rotate 360° . This allows you to adjust its position according to the sun's movement without having to move its base. This makes them high-end parasols. This type of parasol generally offers a larger shaded area than a center-pole parasol. You can also find various canopy shapes for cantilever parasols.

Standard range or professional range?
The classic range is aimed at people wishing to use their parasol at home . That is to say, if you want to use it for a few months of the year in your garden for outdoor meals or by your pool.
The professional range is better suited if you plan to use your parasol intensively . We particularly recommend this range to restaurants, hotels, campsites, and community organizations, although individuals can certainly also opt for the professional range for superior quality. This range offers professionals superior quality thanks to 100% aluminum poles and a water-repellent and UV-resistant canopy with a weight of 250g/m².
What kind of atmosphere do I want to create in my outdoor space?
Once you've chosen which style of parasol you prefer, you'll have one more important question to ask yourself! It's time to decide what atmosphere you want to create in your garden or on your patio. Belveo offers different canopy colors depending on the model. What's more, the canopies are interchangeable, so you can always change them to create a different look.
For a clean, bohemian, or elegant look , we recommend choosing an ecru, beige, or sand-colored canvas. Light colors will brighten the space by allowing more light to pass through than dark colors.
For a cozier feel , we recommend opting for colors like gray or taupe. This will bring a warm touch to your outdoor space. Furthermore, dark colors absorb more UV rays and help maintain a comfortable temperature under the parasol.
Finally , if you want to stand out, don't hesitate to choose vibrant and original colors like red or our new Storm Blue. This way, your garden will be unlike any other!
You now have all the information you need to choose your Belveo parasol !
No matter which model you choose, remember that all Belveo parasols have one thing in common: they are wind-resistant thanks to the patented Easywind system and are designed to last!
