Q Please put me on your waiting list for a 4 m Octagonal Serengeti Cyclone Parasol. Unless the closing clearance issue is solved in your new models of the square Serengeti cyclone parasols? I do need the parasol to close over a table

A The closed clearance of the Serengeti Cyclone 3m parasol is going to remain the same this year - the only way of changing this is by introducing a kind of lifting device that heightens the struts when the parasol closes. This is available on another type of parasol, the TUUCI, which allows the square parasol to close over a table. Here is the link:

Also available in a 4m Octagonal:

TUUCI OceanMaster Octagonal Parasol

But given that you choose a Cyclone, I presume this is because you need a parasol that can withstand strong winds? The TUUCI are a beautiful, marine grade aluminium parasol and are pretty strong. They will withstand a medium wind - but not as strong as the Cyclone, if prettier!

Let me know if TUUCI may be of interest.

I am still waiting to hear of the confirmed date for the delivery of the 4m Octagonal Serengeti Cyclone . Unfortunately I have been advised today that it may be some time, perhaps months, as there is a problem with supply in South Africa where they are made which is why I think it may be a good idea for you to consider alternatives, if at all possible
