Why Ingenua?
From the makers of the extraordinarily clever Paraflex parasol range, comes Ingenua, a new and exciting - and again highly innovative - Shade Sail solution.
Having researched the market last year for Shade Sails, I was not convinced by the quality and practicality of most of the products in the market.
I am therefore delighted to find that one of my already popular brand of parasols has brought out a great new solution - same quality canopy as the parasols, and adapting the already tried and tested Paraflex poles.
The eagerly awaited Ingenua range has now arrived in the UK. Installations have been carried out and instructions and advice are provided.
Offers the following:
- Parasol quality canvas offering water resistance, mould and fade resistance
- UV protection of 97% +
- Angled AND vertical poles and fixings for a dramatic and stylish design
- Grooved poles, allowing fixings to slide up and down, creating interesting and versatile shapes
- Aluminium, quality poles
Mix and match the poles, shade sails and fixing options according to your needs.
Be certain of a quality Shadesail solution.
