The summer season is here and outdoor dining areas are coming to life
We are now entering the best season of the year for restaurants, hotels, and outdoor dining areas. When the sun comes out and the evenings get longer, large parts of the experience move outdoors, and a well-planned outdoor dining area becomes a crucial part of the guest experience. It is no longer just about tables and chairs, but about creating an environment where guests want to sit down, stay, and enjoy themselves regardless of the weather.
At PS Skylt & Inredning, we work with comprehensive solutions for outdoor environments and help restaurants and hotels create both functional and visually attractive dining areas. One of our most sought-after products during the summer season is parasols, and in this post, we want to share inspiration, tips, and some of our favourite models.
Today, parasols fulfil many important functions in an outdoor dining area. They provide pleasant shade on sunny days, protect against wind and light rain, and allow the outdoor space to be used for significantly more hours and in various weather conditions. At the same time, they help create a cosy and exclusive feel that frames the dining area in a stylish and professional way. With the right model, the parasol becomes not only practical weather protection but also an important part of the restaurant's or hotel's overall impression and visual profile.
Albatros – powerful parasol for large outdoor dining areas
When it comes to larger areas and environments with high demands for stability, Albatros is one of our absolute favourite parasols. It is a robust and professional solution that combines elegant design with impressive durability and function.
Its strong central mast and high wind rating make Albatros a reliable choice for larger outdoor dining areas, hotel terraces, and public environments where weather conditions can be more demanding. The parasol is built to stand steadily even in tougher conditions while creating an exclusive and inviting environment for guests.
A great advantage of Albatros is its generous sizes, which make it possible to cover large dining areas and create pleasant environments even on warm summer days.
Albatros Features
• Up to 78 m² coverage for large areas
• Available in round, square, and rectangular shapes
• Very high wind stability
• Telescopic function that opens above table height
• Robust aluminium construction
• Large selection of colours and fabrics
Schattello – flexible premium solution for restaurants and cafés
Schattello is a very popular premium parasol that is perfect for restaurants, cafés, and hotels where flexibility and design are key. With its stylish construction and smart features, it is a solution that works in many different types of environments.
The stable central mast provides very good durability while the parasol maintains an elegant and airy appearance. Thanks to its high wind stability, Schattello also works well in more exposed locations where weather and wind can change quickly.
The parasols are available in several different shapes and sizes, making it easy to adapt the solution to the design and needs of the dining area.
Schattello Features
• Available in round, square, rectangular, and eccentric shapes
• Sizes up to Ø 6 metres or 5×5 metres
• High wind stability for demanding environments
• Telescopic opening and closing above table height
• Robust aluminium frame with long lifespan
• Wide selection of colours and fabric materials
Optional extras that further enhance the experience
To get the most out of their outdoor dining area, many restaurants and hotels choose to complement their parasols with various optional extras that improve both comfort and atmosphere.
Infrared heaters are one of the most appreciated optional extras and make a big difference on cooler evenings and days with varying weather. With pleasant warmth, guests can stay longer, which creates better flow in the dining area and allows the outdoor spaces to be used for a larger part of the season.
Integrated LED lighting is another popular option that provides a warm and inviting feel when evening darkness falls. The lighting not only creates a cosier atmosphere but also helps give the entire outdoor dining area a more exclusive look.
Many also choose to equip their parasols with valances where logos, messages, or graphic elements can be screen-printed directly onto the fabric. This creates clear branding and makes the parasols a natural part of the business's brand.
