Paraflex Umbrellas
The Paraflex, manufactured in Belgium is a unique system eliminating the need for a heavy base and a centre pole. The anodized brushed aluminium arms fit directly onto the wall or an upright pole, which is also anodized brushed aluminium. The hinged arms allow tilting and positioning of the umbrella to achieve the desired shade with consummate ease, particularly useful to follow the path of the sun.
Available singularly or in clusters, the Paraflex can be added to by module thus extending the coverage virtually ad infinitum. The single unit is quite compact – in limited areas such a small garden or courtyard area this is very often the perfect solution, especially when fitted to the wall thus avoiding any cluttering of floor space.
When adding units to increase the coverage again the lack of need of floor space is very beneficial. As well as wall and floor fixing the Paraflex lends itself to the very attractive option of being dropped into a planter thus achieving portability and a base surrounded by flora.
Stretched over a hexagonal frame, the acrylic fabrics are water repellent and fade resistant. Produced to retain tautness the fabric will not sag. There are a number of colours to choose from in different weights of fabrics. The differing weights of material carry differing periods or warranty so check the guarantee on your choice before buying.

Storing the Paraflex could not be easier. Simply take it out of the clamp and
store it or leave it on the arm and close it by the zipper in the umbrella cover. The arm can also be dismantled for winter storage.
 A range of accessories is available with the Paraflex – heating and lighting can make those lovely summer evenings last well into the night without feeling the chill of the night air.
