If you run a hospitality business, you’re used to adapting to change (especially after the last couple of years), so you already know that it’s vital you prepare your restaurant, bar or pub for the winter months ahead.
Weather-proofing your business’ outside space now means you’ll be able to maximise your outdoor area come rain or shine, so when the harsh winter weather hits, you can protect your customers, your business, and your profits…
Instashade has you covered. Our range of premium parasols and accessories gives you everything you need to keep your business’ outdoor area and atmosphere alive—here are three of our best-selling parasols to help you get your business winter-ready:
1. The Cafe Series Parasol
The Café Series Parasol is your traditional market parasol. In the summer it gives you a stylish shade solution, and in the winter it gives your outdoor tables shelter from the elements. You’ll likely already be familiar with these—the supporting pole is right in the centre (just like your typical umbrella), making this the most common style of parasol in the hospitality industry.
Your Café Series Parasol Fact Sheet:
Manufactured with anodized aluminium, making it strong but super-lightweight
Strong, wind-resistant design, water-repellent, and UV-resistant canopy
Stainless steel canopy fixings and galvanised steel or concrete ring base
Easy-to-use pulley system for effortless opening and closing
Movable wheeled base or in-ground fitting
Compact storage—folds away neatly in vertical format, with waterproof protective covers available.
Available in various sizes and colours, so you can customise your pub garden parasol for your business
2. The Eclipse Parasol
If you need to maximise your outdoor space, a cantilever parasol could be the right choice for you—the supporting pole and weighted base is mounted to the side (rather than centrally under the canopy, like the market parasol), giving you the freedom to easily move your tables, chairs, or anything else around underneath it.
Instashade offers multiple cantilever parasols, but The Eclipse is our most popular for hospitality industry—it’s hardier, with a thicker frame and tougher joints and mast, giving you maximum strength and durability, and making this a high-performance and heavy-duty option that withstands the winter weather with ease.
Your Eclipse Parasol factsheet:
Marine-grade anodised aluminium frame
Heavy-duty aluminium joints and mast
Multiple base options
Silent cranking system
10 year no fade canopy warranty
3 year frame warranty
65kmph wind rating
Available in four large sizes—3m square canopy, 3.5m square canopy, 4m octagonal canopy, and 4m x 3m rectangle canopy.
3. The Nova Parasol with Heat & Light

The fully-integrated design gives you heat and light, but with no cables visible, for slick style as well as practicality. The heater comes with either remote or timer switches and is available in five sizes, so you can choose the best fit for your business.Because you can’t afford to lose business because customers choose another more comfortable venue…
