Types
Types of Professional Umbrellas for Cafés
There are various types of umbrellas that can be used, depending on the needs of each space:
Heavy duty umbrellas with a central pole
A common, economical choice for cafés. They offer stability and are suitable for small areas. They provide good shade and are easy to use and move.
Large Umbrellas (ATLAS)
Coverage of large areas (35-40 square metres per umbrella) with very strong durability. They are sturdier and suitable for cafés operating in areas with severe weather conditions.
Side pole umbrellas
Umbrellas with a side pole, because their pole is located at the side, are ideal for free use of the entire space under the umbrella, which makes it easier to place tables and chairs without restrictions.
Super Heavy Duty Telescopic Umbrellas
Telescopic umbrellas are the most popular choice for cafés. They have a mechanism that allows easy opening and closing without obstructing the tables and chairs, and they are highly durable. They are ideal for cafés that need to adapt their space quickly to their needs.

Choosing
Selection Criteria for Professional Umbrellas for Cafés
Choosing the right umbrellas requires considering several parameters:
Size and Shape
The size and shape of the umbrella depend on the space of the café. Square and rectangular umbrellas cover more surface and are suitable for larger tables, while round ones add a classic look. In any case, the size of the umbrella can be adapted to your space.
Weather Resistance
It is important to choose umbrellas that withstand wind and humidity. Super heavy duty telescopic umbrellas and large-size umbrellas offer high durability, while the other options are suitable for areas with milder weather conditions.
Operating Mechanisms
Umbrellas with a manual mechanism are simple to use and more economical, while automatic mechanisms offer comfort and ease, but also a higher cost and more complexity.
Aesthetics and Design
The umbrellas should match the décor of the café. Choosing colours and designs that harmonise with the aesthetics of the space is of vital importance.
Maintenance
Maintenance and Care of Professional Umbrellas
Proper care of the umbrellas extends their lifespan:
- Cleaning and storage: Umbrellas should be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild cleaners. During the period when they are not in use, storing them in protective covers helps avoid wear.
- Replacement of components: Replacing worn components, such as the ribs or the fabric, is necessary to maintain their functionality.
- Protection tips: Proper fixing provides stability, while closing the umbrella to protect it from strong wind is essential to avoid damage.
Customisation
Customisation and Personalisation of Professional Umbrellas
