Parasol for café

There is nothing better than when the calendar says spring, the sun’s rays begin to warm, and the temperature rises in the shade. Spring does something to us – and it often leads to some form of outdoor activity. If it is finally warm enough to enjoy a cup of coffee outdoors at your favorite café with a blanket over your legs and a coat to warm your upper body, then we are more than happy to do that!

That is why it is also important that you do not compromise on your outdoor area – whether it concerns seating, sun shading, or heating lamps. Everything you do can extend your outdoor season and thus give you even more guests!

When we talk about decorating an outdoor area for a café, it is of course impossible to overlook a parasol! It takes up space and may even ruin some of the aesthetics, but the functions are undeniable:

• They can be set up and taken down, depending on whether your guests want to sit in the sun or prefer shade.
• If positioned correctly, it can provide some shelter from the cool wind.
• In Denmark, it is unavoidable that there will be a shower now and then. With a good parasol, you do not have to cancel all outdoor service due to a little rain.

Things to be aware of

There can’t be that much hocus pocus in finding the right parasol, can there?

Size

• The size of the parasols you need obviously depends on the size of your outdoor area. Here, you should consider whether you want a couple of large parasols that can shade a larger area, or if you would prefer to attach a small parasol to each table. If you choose a smaller parasol, the advantage may be that guests can decide for themselves whether they want shade or sun.

Features

• We are all familiar with the primary function of the parasol, but parasols have various additions that you might benefit from understanding a bit before making your choice. For example, might you need to tilt your parasol? Or do you prefer to be able to adjust the height? There are many options, so make sure you know your needs so that you end up with the right parasol!

Design

• Many café owners enjoy enhancing the outdoor area, and here the parasols are also an important prop. The parasols often take up a fair amount of space, and if your café is characterized by green or blue colors, it would be natural to choose parasols in the same shade.

Use the parasols as advertising columns

In line with the design of the parasols, many cafés choose to use the parasol as an advertising column because there is ample space for a logo. You can also choose to add the café’s own logo or name to personalize the design. At Zederkof, we can certainly help you get the right print, so you get exactly the parasol you want.
