Product FAQ’s
What base do I need for the Flex Parasol?

WHY USE A BRANDED PARASOL?
Turn Outdoor Shade into Brand Visibility
A branded parasol does more than provide shade. The canopy creates a highly visible area for your company logo, colours and promotional messaging while providing a practical outdoor environment for customers, visitors or event attendees.
A custom branded parasol umbrella can be used to create a consistent branded presence at outdoor locations without requiring a permanent installation.
The Flex Parasol is particularly useful where businesses need a branded display that can be transported, deployed and packed away as required.
COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
Where Can You Use a Branded Parasol?
The Flex Parasol can be used in a wide range of commercial and promotional environments, including:
- Outdoor Events: Create a branded customer or promotional area at outdoor events, launches, activations and functions.
- Brand Activations: Use a printed parasol to increase brand visibility at promotional campaigns, sampling events and customer activations.
- Restaurants and Cafés: Create a branded outdoor seating or customer area while keeping your business identity visible.
- Hotels and Hospitality: Add branded shade to outdoor hospitality areas, venues and customer spaces.
- Retail Promotions: Use a promotional parasol to create a clearly branded area outside a store, shopping centre or promotional location.
- Markets and Exhibitions: Take a portable branded outdoor umbrella to markets, exhibitions and outdoor trade events where your branding needs to stand out.
- Corporate Events: Create a professional branded environment for outdoor corporate functions, networking events and company activations.
A Portable Branded Outdoor Display
The Flex Parasol is supplied in a slip bag for easy transport, making it suitable for businesses and promotional teams that need to move their branded display between locations.
Unlike a permanently installed outdoor umbrella, a portable parasol can be deployed when and where it is required and packed away after use.
This makes it particularly useful for:
- Promotional teams
- Event companies
- Brand activation agencies
- Hospitality businesses
- Retail promotions
- Corporate events
- Outdoor marketing campaigns
Important: The base is not included with the Flex Parasol and should be selected separately according to the intended installation and use.
Flex Parasol Sizes
The Flex Parasol is available in two diameter options:
| Size | Diameter |
|---|---|
