The Tradewinds parasol has been designed to cater for the hotel, bar, restaurant, retail and corporate requirements, and will enhance any outside area, blending style with strength.Īll Parasols in the pictures are manufactured by Tradewinds. Parasols are often meant to be fixed to one point and often used with patio tables, outdoor furniture or on the beach for shelter from the sun. Both devices are built along a similar principle, with a long central shaft that holds supporting struts, which are covered with a network of material that can be easily collapsed for portability. The term “umbrella” is also technically correct for a parasol, although in common usage a parasol has come to imply protection from sun, while an umbrella shelters one from rain. The term “parasol” comes from the Latin “Para” for shelter or shield and “sol”, which means sun.Ī parasol is a device designed to keep the user out of the sunlight, and variations of it have been used for thousands of years, especially in countries with hot climatic conditions. Tradewinds has become South Africa's leading manufacturer of High Quality Parasols (umbrellas), and also an importer and distributor of leisure goods.
