With their unique shape – the Octagonal Parasol is a stylish and functional design.
All the products you see offer an Octagonal version – the shape lends itself to better wind resistance, optimal sun protection and a greater aesthetic appeal.
Octagonal Parasols — Classic 360° Cover with Pavilion Style
Octagonal parasols cast a balanced halo of shade over round dining tables, hot-tub decks and informal seating islands. Instashade’s Café Series centre-posts, Aurora and Eclipse cantilevers, and Nova giants span 2.8 m – 5 m with wind ratings up to 100 km/h, blending timeless silhouette with rugged, commercial-grade engineering.
Why choose an octagonal parasol?
Panoramic footprint — 2.8 m models suit intimate courtyards, while 4.2 m Café Series or 5 m Nova canopies blanket large patios and pool bars.
Serious weather resistance — Nova shrugs off 100 km/h, Eclipse handles 65 km/h, Aurora cruises through 50 km/h and Café Series copes with 60 km/h.
Effortless control — choose rope-and-pulley simplicity, whisper-quiet cranks or Aurora’s one-handed tilt-and-rotate glide.
Fade-proof fabrics — solution-dyed acrylics backed by up to 10-year colour warranties stay vibrant season after season.
Install anywhere — in-ground sleeves, bolt plates, wheeled bases or stackable weights adapt to lawns, decks and paving.
