Here we present the second edition of the Meran parasols. The Meran Pro takes what its predecessor already did almost perfectly and makes it even better. The pole, which is 0.7 cm thicker, ensures even greater stability. Likewise, the somewhat stiff cable pull system of the first model has been replaced by a higher-quality and smoother-running gear mechanism. However, this brings the crank height to 1.85 m.

Parasol dimensions (approx.):
Total height: 360 cm
Total diameter: 500 cm
Pole diameter: 6.7 cm
Clearance height: 182 cm
Telescopic struts WxD: 3x1.5 cm
Crank height: 185 cm

Dimensions of parasol stand without base cross (approx.):
Height: 9 cm
Width: 76 cm
Depth: 77 cm
Single module: 9x70x33 cm
Recess in the centre: 6x11x11 cm

Total weight of the 4 modules (approx.):
Empty weight: 5.2 kg
Filled with water and sand: 80 kg

Sun, Sun, Sol, Helios – as varied as the names, so too are the dangers posed by our favourite star. Protect yourself from too much direct sunlight with a first-class UV protection shield – colloquially known simply as a parasol.

The high-quality polyester canopy not only provides reliable protection against UV radiation but is also briefly rain-resistant, so even a light shower is no problem. Double-stitched canopy fabric and reinforced metal ribs ensure wind-resistant stability and additional strength, whilst the integrated air circulation hood helps you keep a cool head.

Made from powder-coated, rust-proof aluminium, the frame further emphasises the high quality of the materials used and offers all-round protection at its finest. Its telescopic struts also make this market umbrella a real space-saving wonder, harmonising perfectly with our collapsible professional umbrella stands, available separately or as a set. Stable footing and an integrated carrying handle – the ideal solution, not just for commercial users.

Please note the following when setting up:
The umbrella must unfold easily. DO NOT use force.
As with all umbrellas, there is a risk that the ribs may have become jammed. In this case, please reach under the umbrella before opening it and realign the ribs correctly. The umbrella can then be unfolded easily.

The parasol stand we have selected is suitable for wind force 2 (light breeze). You should set up the parasol in a sheltered spot and take it down in the event of stronger gusts. It is advisable to fill the stand with water and sand to make it heavier. For more demanding requirements, we also offer other parasol bases with a higher weight. As a rule of thumb for better stability:
Umbrella up to 2 m: approx. 20 kg
Umbrella up to 3 m: approx. 40–50 kg
Umbrella up to 4 m: approx. 80–100 kg
Umbrella up to 5 m: approx. 125–150 kg.
Calculations such as 1 kg per 10 cm diameter are certainly not correct, as they do not take into account that the umbrella’s surface area increases exponentially. Furthermore, the base area of the umbrella stand and the height of the umbrella are also important.
