How to secure your parasol properly and protect it from the wind

How to extend the Life of your Glatz parasol with the right tying technique

The umbrella should be tied properly to prevent damage from pinching and chafing, as well as premature wear caused by the fabric flapping and fluttering violently in the wind. We recommend closing the umbrella early when wind picks up or gusts occur, tying it correctly, and securing it with the protective cover. The video above shows the correct tying method in a wind tunnel test. A properly tied parasol with the appropriate protective cover significantly reduces wind susceptibility.

Thoughtful functionality from Glatz

There is a matching protective cover for every Glatz parasol. The focus is not only on protection but also on ease of use.

A special feature is the practical screw-in pole, which makes it easier to put the cover on. This allows the protective cover to be conveniently installed without the need for a ladder or an additional chair. This saves time and ensures safe use.

Why a parasol cover makes sense

With the right Glatz protective cover and proper securing of the parasol, you can reliably protect your parasol from the elements, UV radiation, and dirt. Combined with the right security measures and care, your parasol will remain functional, well-maintained, and ready for use longer—season after season.

In addition to the use of a protective cover, it is recommended that you always close and secure your umbrella properly when it is windy. Proper handling protects both the umbrella and its mechanism from unnecessary strain.
