parasol rental
Providing shade for a hundred guests without spoiling the view of the garden: that is the summer equation solved by decorative parasol rental. Elegant canopies, stable weighted bases and a palette of styles ranging from the Riviera to the beach: functional and photogenic, parasols structure an open-air reception as much as they protect it.
Canopies and bases: the collection
Four canopies for four moods. The Antibes parasol, from €29 excl. VAT, embodies the classic garden party in white; the Blue parasol brings a nautical note, ideal for a seaside theme or a seminar lunch. The Hawai parasol in natural fibres carries you to the edge of a lagoon, and the Vintage fringed parasol, from €39 excl. VAT, sets the tone for a retro wedding or a 1960s Riviera evening. Each canopy sits on a base rented separately: the Metal parasol base. 15kg weight for a sheltered patio, the Metal parasol base. 25kg weight for a windy terrace, and the Wooden parasol base 35kg weight and Acacia parasol base. 35kg weight versions when stability needs to come with a warm finish.
Arranging an outdoor space for the occasion
- Open-air wedding: fringed parasols above the cocktail bar and the lounge area, Antibes over the reception drinks zone.
- Summer seminar: one parasol for four to six people around a round table or a high table.
- Product launch or pop-up store: Blue or Hawai parasol beside the stand to signal the space from afar.
- Company party and family day: a row of Antibes parasols along the picnic tables, with festoon lights strung between the poles for the evening.
Remember to orient the parasols according to the path of the sun and to leave 60 cm between two canopies for circulation.
Installation, weighting and prices
A poorly weighted parasol is a parasol that takes off: our teams deliver canopies and bases, assemble and position each set, then dismantle it at the end of the reception. Collection via our Drive (pick-up) service is possible for a few units with a light metal base; the 35 kg wooden and acacia bases require a suitable vehicle. Cleaned canopies and checked bases are included in the price. Prices cover 1 to 3 days; for a pop-up terrace or an entire season, a decreasing rate applies for longer periods. The quote is sent quickly based on the area to be shaded.

Which base weight should I choose for my parasol?
15 kg is enough in an enclosed courtyard or a sheltered patio. On an open terrace, by the sea or on a lawn, choose 25 kg minimum, and 35 kg for large canopies and exposed sites.
How many parasols for 80 guests at a cocktail reception?
One parasol comfortably shades 4 to 6 people standing. For 80 guests, plan on 12 to 15 parasols, fewer if part of the space is already covered by a tent or a tree.
Are the bases included with the parasols?
No, canopy and base are rented separately so that you can choose the weight and material that suit you. We check compatibility before the quote is confirmed.
Do the canopies withstand rain?
They can cope with a passing shower but are no substitute for a tent. If a storm or strong wind is forecast, it is best to close them.
