Sustainable by design
Timber parasols that make sustainability feel… effortless
Wood is one of the most naturally renewable materials available when it’s sourced responsibly. That matters to us all. Purchasing something that is going to help from being a little more eco is something we all love to do.
A well-made wooden garden parasol can be maintained season after season. Timber can be cared for, refreshed, and kept looking its best. Lasting for many years helps to reduce the need to constantly replace such items helping to cut down on unnecessary waste. Keeping your outdoor area loved and cherished.
We focus on sustainable choices that don’t compromise on style: premium timber frames, practical care advice, and a product range built around performance rather than trends. This is shade that earns its place in the garden.
Eco points that actually matter
- Renewable material: timber sourced for long-term forestry health.
- Longevity: designed for years of outdoor use, not just one summer.
