An awning parasol is the perfect combination of an awning and an umbrella. Unlike a conventional parasol, an awning parasol is more robust. Due to the fact that a folding-arm awning is attached to a support post, a larger shading area is possible. In addition, the markilux shadeplus provides additional protection against low sun. Even though the markilux planet awning parasol is stationary due to the concrete foundation, it can still be used flexibly. Thanks to the swivel mechanism, the markilux planet can be rotated by up to 335° and thus moves with the sunshine.
