Imagine this: a balmy summer evening gradually transitioning into twilight. You’re seated outdoors with loved ones, savoring a delightful dinner and engaging in sparkling conversations. The day’s warmth gives way to a pleasant coolness, but one thing threatens to spoil the moment: the low-hanging sun glaring into your eyes.
At Solero, we believe that the most beautiful moments of summer often unfold after sunset. That’s why our parasols go beyond merely providing shade. We create ambiance, comfort, and functionality that extend and enrich your outdoor living, allowing you to fully enjoy those enchanting summer evenings.
But which Solero parasol best suits your evening ritual? Let’s explore the possibilities—from uninterrupted dining to taming the last sun rays and adding ambiance with light and warmth.
Dining al fresco: Space to savor
A delightful dinner on your terrace is one of summer’s greatest pleasures. But an obstructive parasol base or pole in the middle of your gathering? That disrupts the flow. Our cantilever parasols—such as the Fratello Pro, Cielo Pro, Laterna Pro, and Palestro Pro—are specifically designed to keep your terrace space open, allowing for uninterrupted dining. The mast is elegantly positioned to the side, providing a completely unobstructed area beneath the canopy. Enjoy clear views and engaging conversations without a parasol pole in the way.
For larger dining tables or gatherings, the generous dimensions of the Palestro Pro (4x4m or 3x4m) or the Fratello Pro and Laterna Pro (both 3x3m) are ideal. They ensure that everyone, regardless of their seat at the table, is comfortably accommodated. If you have a smaller, cozy setup or a balcony, the Vaticano Pro, our elegant center-pole parasol (Ø 2.5m), offers a smart solution: it closes neatly above the table, so you don’t have to move the furniture aside. Compact in size, grand in convenience.
Taming the evening sun: Tilt and direct your shade
As the sun lowers, its angle changes. A parasol that only provides overhead shade often isn’t sufficient. The ability to tilt your parasol canopy is essential for maintaining comfort.
The Fratello Pro excels in this regard. With its advanced multi-axis tilt system, you can tilt the canopy up to 45 degrees, both sideways and backward. It effortlessly follows the sun, offering shade that you can literally direct—hence the slogan “shade you can aim.” The Palestro Pro also offers a tilting option towards the mast with its grand size (400×400 or 400x300cm). The Laterna Pro tilts elegantly towards the mast, and the Vaticano Pro offers a practical 45-degree tilt function. Many of our models (Fratello, Cielo, Laterna, Palestro) also rotate 360 degrees around their axis, allowing you to easily position the canopy without moving the base.
Ambiance and visibility: Lighting for the night
When darkness falls, lighting transforms your terrace. At Solero, we understand that. That’s why most of our cantilever parasols (Fratello, Cielo, Laterna, Palestro) come standard with the Solero Accento (click-on light). This rechargeable, wireless lamp easily clicks into place and emits a pleasant ambient light, perfect for lingering and even reading.
Looking for something more? The Solero Lux (LED lighting) is a premium upgrade. These dimmable LED strips magnetically attach to the ribs. With the remote control, you can create exactly the ambiance you desire, from bright light to softly dimmed. The long lifespan and the fact that the Lux can remain in place when the parasol is closed make it a carefree addition to your evenings.
Even on beautiful summer evenings, it can cool down significantly after sunset. To truly extend those cozy outdoor moments, Solero offers high-quality heating solutions. Our Solero Heliosa infrared heaters directly warm people and objects, not the air. This means immediate, efficient heat that isn’t blown away by the wind.
Thanks to the special Amberlight technology, the Heliosa heaters produce much less bright light than traditional heaters. This makes them perfect for a cozy evening. Various models are available for different terrace sizes. They are splash-proof, safe to use, and can be easily mounted to your Solero parasol with special brackets.
Choosing your perfect evening parasol
The “best” parasol for summer evenings depends on your preferences.
- Do you desire maximum versatility and ultimate control over shade? Then the Fratello Pro with its superior multi-axis tilting is your match.
- Do you have a large dining table and enjoy spending time outdoors with many people? The Palestro Pro offers the largest coverage and is surprisingly easy to operate.
- Are you looking for an elegant cantilever parasol with generous dimensions and easy backward tilting? The Laterna Pro combines sleek design with user-friendliness.
- Do you live in a more compact space or prefer a center-pole parasol that closes above the table? The Vaticano Pro is the charming and practical solution.
Every Solero parasol is crafted with high-quality, colorfast materials, focusing on durability and ease of use. The Solero O’Bravia fabrics are an excellent example. They are designed to enrich your outdoor space and let you enjoy worry-free, all season long.
