Acrylic awning fabric (standard)

The tried and tested acrylic awning fabric is manufactured from 100% spinning nozzle dyed brand acrylic fabric. That means that the colour pigments – unlike in classic yarn dyeing – are applied during the fibre production. This ensures reliable protection against damaging UV radiation and permanently guarantees brilliant colours / constant weather and light-fastness. Furthermore, the acrylic fabric is especially tear-resistant and also dirt and water-repellent thanks to its impregnation with a special protective agent. The reliable solution for long-term outdoor use.

  • Water-proof up to 300-370 mm water column, EN 20811
  • High colour and weather fastness (7-8) of 8
  • Water and dirt-repellent
  • 100% acrylic 285–300 g/m²

Easy-Lift-Balance system

Supremo has a particularly innovative sliding mechanism: With the tap of a finger on the locking switch, the parasol automatically unfolds halfway using its own weight. All that’s left to do is lightly push the handle upward and lock it. This system allows for quick and easy handling, even with large parasols.

Struts with double support

The double strut hub provides double support for the main struts, to which the fabric is attached. An interior aluminium profile provides additional strut support for large parasols. This makes the parasol especially robust and wind-stable.

Stainless steel handle with locking switch

Quality in all parts – the stainless steel handle of the Supremo is practical as well as especially stable! When opening and closing the parasol, its locking switch snaps into place automatically.

Sophisticated telescopic system

The advantage: the telescopic system extends the mast when closing! Tables and patio furniture can stay where they are.

Acrylic awning fabric (standard)

The tried and tested acrylic awning fabric is manufactured from 100% spinning nozzle dyed brand acrylic fabric. That means that the colour pigments – unlike in classic yarn dyeing – are applied during the fibre production. This ensures reliable protection against damaging UV radiation and permanently guarantees brilliant colours / constant weather and light-fastness. Furthermore, the acrylic fabric is especially tear-resistant and also dirt and water-repellent thanks to its impregnation with a special protective agent. The reliable solution for long-term outdoor use.

  • Water-proof up to 300-370 mm water column, EN 20811
  • High colour and weather fastness (7-8) of 8
  • Water and dirt-repellent
  • 100% acrylic 285–300 g/m²

Durable design

Only the best materials and extra strong aluminium profiles are used in the robust design of Big Ben. The solid mast has a diameter of 84 mm and a wall thickness of 5 mm, making it stronger than most others in its class.

Practical alignment guide

This guide greatly simplifies the erection of large parasols. Simply screw adjusting screws into ground sleeve or mobile base. Position the parasol. Thread the alignment guide into the screw and push the parasol up. Then simply screw in place and it’s all done.

Wind-stable up to 100 km/h!

Its solid design makes Big Ben extra robust. To prove this, the professional parasol was tested by structural engineers in a wind tunnel, where the 3 x 3 m version can withstand even strong winds of up to 100 km/h!

Telescopic system

The advantage: the telescopic system extends the mast when closing! Tables and patio furniture can stay where they are.

Plus X Award for Big Ben Freestyle

The Big Ben Freestyle was awarded the Plus X Award 2018/2019 in the categories High Quality, Design and Functionality.

The Plus X Award is the innovation prize for brand quality. A panel of judges, made up of experts representing different sectors, awards the quality seals for the innovation prize: Innovation, Design, High Quality, Operating Comfort, Functionality, Ergonomics and Ecology. The approach of the Plus X Award is unique. Compared to other competitions, which consider themselves mostly design awards, the Plus X Award takes a nuanced approach with its seven quality seals. The Plus X Award quality seals are thus not only a benchmark for the best products, but also an unmistakable sign of brand quality.

Multicube

The Gabione Multicube is made up of robust steel cages with wood covering and is the ideal replacement for conventional parasol bases with flagstones. The mobile Multicube creates a comfortable atmosphere for additional guests and ensures flexibility when arranging your outdoor area – without having to install ground sleeves.
