Blenheim Collapsible Umbrella

The Blenheim Umbrella is a high-strength shade and shelter structure that can be opened and closed as and when required. Fitted with waterproof fabric this umbrella provides all-year-round protection, yet as it is collapsible it does not require structural calculations or building regulations. This high-quality, cost-effective product is manufactured from commercial materials and has been designed to be put up and left all year round.

It is the only parasol in the UK that is BS EN 13782 certified to withstand wind speeds in excess of 100km/h. This makes it the perfect choice for any setting including schools, nurseries, universities, healthcare, leisure, hospitality and retail. Ideal uses include: alfresco dining, pub garden canopy, playground shelter and a collapsible sun shelter for smaller budgets.

Installation is possible almost anywhere. Inground bases provide a permanent fixing and are the best method of installation. Recognising that this is not always possible, there are also options available to bolt the Blenheim down to existing solid foundations, fit them to existing parasol bases or install them on freestanding bases. It is covered with waterproof tensile fabric that has a smooth satin finish and is available in 40 different colours to suit all environments.

A choice of upgrades are available including heating, lighting, post pads, fabric side panels, a cleaning kit, seating and a joiner for linking 2 or more umbrellas together. You can also choose to have your logo screen printed onto the fabric or a vinyl can also be applied if preferred, giving you the option to remove your branding if required. With the addition of a logo to your umbrella you are give your company high visibility – this is particularly popular with our restaurant and hospitality clients.

The steel frame has a 2-year guarantee and the fabric has up to a 10 year guarantee against UV degradation and a life expectancy of 10-15 years.
