Privacy Screens & Parasols
Camping Parasol as Sun Protection for the Beach
The parasol is the classic form of weather protection at the beach. A beach umbrella or bathing umbrella is quick to set up and provides ample shade. A camping parasol is also easy to transport. It’s particularly practical because you can use parasols with various parasol stands. In our selection, you’ll find high-quality beach umbrellas, beach parasols, and travel umbrellas from the renowned German manufacturer Schneider Schirme.
Umbrella Stands: Hold Parasols on Any Surface
An umbrella stand with a ground spike secures the beach parasol in soft ground, such as sand or earth. For stony ground, plastic umbrella stands are available to ensure your camping parasol remains stable. These can be filled with water or sand to add weight. When positioned vertically, a beach umbrella can also serve as a privacy screen, providing more privacy on the beach. However, a parasol is only suitable as a windbreak in mild winds. If the wind is too strong, it’s better to fold up the parasol to avoid damage.
Wind Protection: Windproof and Opaque for More Privacy
If you want to protect yourself from the wind, it’s better to invest in a suitable windbreak. A windbreak is a long sheet of windproof material that is set up with poles and secured using guy ropes and pegs. A newer option is the inflatable windbreak, where air chambers replace the traditional steel poles. This type of windbreak is especially ideal for the beach, as you don’t need to carry poles. Most windbreaks are made of opaque, easy-care polyester, with a transparent strip often incorporated at the top to let light through. The windbreak also doubles as a privacy screen when camping or at the beach.
