The fabric

The unusual woven fabric of this navy blue garden parasol is made in a small mill in Northern Italy.

The pattern reminds me of the sharks teeth fossils we found in abundance on the beaches of Holland as children. And of course, the interiors of the iconic Cowley Manor Hotel from which is steals it's name. The hotel is a showcase of rich and interesting fabrics, creating a simultaneously chic and welcoming space.

This particular heavy-weight navy blue parasol fabric has the appearance of a thick woollen upholstery fabric, but is made from 100% solution dyed acrylic, meaning it has our classic longevity properties of being ultra resistant to water, UV-fading and mould.

This luxury patterned parasol offers the highest levels of UPF sun protection and cooling shade, whilst bringing statement style to your garden.

The canopy

The round, 2.7 meter diameter canopy is the perfect size to shade your garden spot. It will comfortably shade a table of 4, or 6 at a sociable squeeze.

You can embrace the ever-changing weather with our double strengthened corners, made to withstand many ups and downs, plus a storm vent that allows the breeze to pass through with panache.

Our canopies are easily removable for cleaning, storage or swapping design.

Plia Parasols come in one perfect size – a round, 2.7 meter diameter canopy. Not too big, not too small.

The mast pole is 38mm diameter. A slender pole was a non-negotiable for us. It simply looks much better alongside narrow-framed garden furniture. And of course looks elegant alongside chunky garden furniture too.

The parasol is 265cm tall, with 2 meters of headroom for walking underneath.

Parasol frame, fabric canopy and waterproof protective cover.

Parasol stands sold separately. Minimum 25kg base weight needed.

Plia Parasols have been made with the highest quality materials, and can stay outside through all weathers. The canopies will shrug off rain, and maintain their vibrant colours for a prolonged time in the sun. 

The parasol frame is designed to withstand both the dry heat of the summer and the wet of winter thanks to its own naturally occurring protective oils. It has been given an extra coating of teak oil during the manufacturing process to ensure many years of low maintenance enjoyment.

Our parasols can be left outdoors year-round, although to extend their life and to reduce maintenance, cover with the supplied waterproof cover when not in use, or store in a garage or shed.

IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

The frame

Our eucalyptus hardwood frames are traditionally made and designed for longevity.

Hardwood parasol pole detail with stainless steel cleat and rope

The slender 38mm diameter pole comes in a single length meaning no dodgy joints or wobbly spots.

Parasol pole detail with aluminium expansion sleeve

Our aluminium expansion sleeve ensures your parasol won't ever get stuck in its base.

Parasol pole detail with stainless steel rope pull

We use marine-grade, rust-resistant stainless steel fittings for a strong and sturdy life.

100% of the parasol parts can be replaced or repaired should something break.
