Terrace parasols for the coast: types and bases
On the coast, wind and terrace shape are decisive. A centre-pole parasol is cheapest, but the pole blocks tables. A cantilever side-arm gives clear shade and suits booths and rows of tables. A half-round leans against the façade — ideal for narrow old-town terraces. Choose the base by parasol size and wind: for a 3 m parasol allow 40–60 kg; for larger or cantilever, 90 kg+ or floor fixing. Avoid solar-LED versions if you want simple compliance, because electrics mean extra certificates.
