The system
A ring frame, eight tiles and a cone.
The structure is a metal ring frame with spokes on a timber post. Eight African thatch tiles – the same ones we use on pergolas – hook on top, and a cone finishes off the tip.
The best part comes with the years: when sun and salt air take their toll on a tile, you change that tile. The umbrella is neither thrown away nor taken apart.
- Complete umbrella or ring frame only
- Replacement tiles sold singly
- 10 cm timber post
Why tiles
Designed for people who have fifty of them.
A hotel or a beach bar can’t close for a week to rebuild its umbrellas. This system is made for exactly that.
-
Immediate assembly
They arrive unassembled and go together on the ring frame in about three minutes per umbrella.
-
Repair by the piece
Only the damaged tile is replaced; the rest of the umbrella stays in service.
-
An exclusive look
African thatch gives a finer finish than heather or esparto grass, for high-end gardens and hotels.
-
Delivered unassembled
Tiles, ring frames and posts travel separately and are assembled at their destination.
