My Nisbets Product of the Week has to be the Bolero parasol range. With the summer comes the weather that can make either dreams or nightmares, and I’m not sure crossing fingers and wishful thinking is preparation enough.

So whether you have a bus fare in your pocket or a contingency plan for a rainy day, be ready for whatever weather is thrown at you, be it a heat wave or mini monsoon.

An essential item for cafes and beer gardens or entertaining friends at home, Bolero parasols offer protection against painful sunburn and ultraviolet rays, as well as ensuring the fun doesn’t stop when a sudden shower strikes.

Available in two sizes; 2.5 and 3 metre diameter, these parasols have a simple and hassle free pulley system for quick and easy use. Also featuring a sturdy construction with a classic style to suit anyone, anywhere!

It’s not just the sun and rain which can threaten summer enjoyment, make sure on those windy days you add a weighted parasol base to keep your parasol grounded at all times.

Why not go that extra mile and complete your outdoor area with a picnic bench, some weather-resistant folding chairs or cover all bases with our Buffalo infrared heat lamp?

So whether you’re running a business, catching up with friends or just lounging in the garden with a book, a parasol or two will ensure any outdoor eating, drinking or reading isn’t spoiled by the weather...rain or shine.
