Sun Umbrellas and Umbrella Stands

Sun protection - relax and enjoy the warmth

A sunshade for your own garden or balcony has many advantages. The midday sun is in the sky and nothing would be cosier than relaxing with a cup of coffee on your new garden furniture. However, to be able to spend the hot days in the garden without sunburn and blinding rays of sunshine, you still need the right sun protection. After all, reading a book on a sun lounger with squinted eyes can quickly spoil your summer mood. Not only does this often result in headaches, but the high UV radiation that you are permanently exposed to without sun and privacy protection is not good for your skin and eyes.

Being able to enjoy the shady side with sun protection can be a welcome change. Refreshed and kissed by the sun, having a quiet, shady spot in the garden or on the balcony makes your favourite time of year even more enjoyable.

The perfect sun and privacy protection for your garden paradise

Your own requirements are what make your garden paradise perfect. That's why it's important to find the perfect sun protection.

Classic canopy parasols won't let your guests down during a cosy barbecue evening. Thanks to its stability, the parasol provides even shade and stands like a rock even in light winds. The parasol is also height-adjustable and the upper section can be easily folded down. So the sun's rays don't stand a chance even at sunset. Enjoy the day until late in the evening by attaching an LED lamp for sunshades to the sun and privacy protection inside the sunshade.

Free-arm parasols are just as flexible as the stick parasol. The height and angle of the free-arm sunshade can be individually adjusted to suit the sunlight. As the sunshade can be rotated in several directions, it is particularly suitable for larger areas and thus offers protection from the sun all day long.

Which sun protection is the right one?

It's not just the right garden furniture, the colour of the garden shed or the choice of plants that are decisive for the feeling of well-being in the garden. If there is a problem with the sun protection, the joy is easily lost. "Too hot in the sun" should not be an excuse to spend the whole day indoors.

• It's easy to find the right sun and privacy protection, you just need to answer the following questions:
• How large an area do you want your sun and privacy protection to cover?
• Do you like it simple or do you want to show your colours?
• Do you also spend time in the garden when it rains and therefore want your sunshade to be waterproof?
• Which sunshade stand would you like to use to set up the sunshade?

A sunshade is not only suitable for balconies or patios. After all, you also want to protect yourself from the sun in the garden! If you haven't found the right sun protection yet, just take a look at our corner with gazebos and garden tents - you're sure to find it here.

We take you on a journey into another world and transform your garden, balcony or patio into a feel-good paradise in no time at all. And what about when winter comes? Don't be sad! Mutoni also has the right protective covers for garden furniture and sun and privacy protection. Because the next summer is sure to come!

In addition, roller blinds have been increasingly used in the private sector in recent years and are already a standard feature in and around window recesses where there are no other darkening options such as roller shutters or folding shutters, or are even used as an alternative and unusual form of sun protection.

Roller blinds are available in numerous designs, from pleated blinds in lace to robust parts in bamboo, jute or raffia, as fabric roller blinds and in aluminium quality. Installation varies and depends to a certain extent on the model selected. Today, light protection roller blinds are available in all colours - plain, colourful, patterned and with prints or floral designs, and almost all standard sizes from mini to XXL are available - all other special sizes are also available, but then as made-to-measure products, which are somewhat more expensive to buy than standard-sized roller blinds. If you urgently need a new set of garden furniture in spring or summer, it's worth taking a look at the offers at Mutoni under Sale.

Garden furniture is also occasionally offered there and is usually very favourably priced. However, you shouldn't expect too much in terms of quality and design. Craftsmen can also find garden furniture at flea markets or household clearances. This usually requires a little repair and a little embellishment. But then you have a truly unique piece in your garden. Or who else has an old beach chair on the lawn in the garden? And if none of this helps: even in the height of summer, garden furniture from the DIY store is usually cheaper than furniture from the furniture store.

Advantages of outdoor sun protection with parasols

It's not just the intensity of the incoming sunlight that can be regulated with an outdoor sunshade. Particularly in the summer months, a balanced, cool indoor climate can be created by completely extending the outdoor sunshade. This helps to increase the shaded areas and create a pleasant microclimate in indoor areas or on terraces and open spaces. The advantages of outdoor sun protection are quite different when it comes to colder seasons. As part of the economical and efficient consumption of heating energy, warming rays of sunlight can penetrate the rooms through open elements of external solar shading and heat them up even more. In addition, modern external solar shading helps to ensure that less heat energy is lost through insufficiently insulated windows and doors. For this reason, the benefits of external solar shading are welcome both in normal buildings and in ecologically valuable passive and low-energy houses.

Effective materials for external solar shading

The range of materials available for the manufacture of external solar shading products is extremely extensive. In addition to man-made materials, natural materials such as wood and bamboo are becoming increasingly popular. From the group of light metals, aluminium is a preferred base material for outdoor sun protection. Aluminium is just as light as various textile materials, which are made from coarse fabrics known as awning fabrics. In addition, these substances are insensitive to corrosion and almost maintenance-free for long-lasting outdoor sun protection.
