Don't remember your umbrella size? Measure the diameter of the opened canopy or send me a photo – I will tell you which cover fits.

Here, both versions are side by side, and I am happy to tell you in advance how I see it: For pure protection, the basic cover in taupe polyester is completely sufficient. The custom cover made of acrylic fabric is available in 48 colors, so that the packed umbrella does not stand out as a foreign spot on the terrace in winter – it is sewn from the same fabric as the umbrella canopy. The cut and zipper are the same for both; the difference lies in the fabric, the price, and the delivery time. What I do not recommend in either case is a tarp from a hardware store: it sweats from the inside, and an umbrella packed away while damp will get mildew stains that will not come out. Everything is sewn at Weishäupl in Stephanskirchen, less than a half-hour drive from us in Wasserburg am Inn.

This is how the cover will last for many years – and the parasol underneath even longer:

• Before covering: Let the parasol dry completely. A parasol packed away while damp will develop mildew stains, which cannot be removed from the fabric.
• Cleaning: Lukewarm water, mild soap solution, soft sponge or soft brush. Rinse with clear water and let the cover dry completely before putting it back on.
• Zipper: Occasionally wipe sand and pollen out of the track with a dry cloth. If it becomes stiff, a zipper lubricant stick will help – do not use oil, as it attracts dirt.
• Winter storage: The cover can remain over the closed parasol all year round. If a storm is forecast, it is better to remove a freestanding parasol from its base completely.
• Please do not use: Washing machines, tumble dryers, high-pressure cleaners, fabric softeners, solvents, scouring agents, or bleach.

Cleaning service for custom covers: Weishäupl professionally cleans and re-impregnates acrylic fabric covers. Depending on the size, this costs between €68 (Size I) and €95 (telescopic parasol), with an additional charge for intensive treatment in cases of heavy soiling. You can order the cleaning service directly here: Cleaning & Impregnation of Weishäupl Parasol Covers. This service is not available for the basic polyester cover.

Delivery time: approx. 3 weeks. Each custom cover is sewn to order at Weishäupl in your preferred color – which is why it takes longer than the basic version.

Shipped as a parcel, free of charge for you. A freight forwarder is not necessary for protective covers.

Because they are made in your preferred color, I am happy to double-check the size and color number with you before ordering. A quick call or message is enough – I prefer that over something not fitting later on.
