Event
The Heart of it All
Event can be found in our product range between »small« like Easy and »large« like Jumbrella. It was designed for our customers, who prefer a large-size parasol at a fair price but don’t need the variety of features or combination possibilities offered with Jumbrella.

Due to its steeper angle, in comparison to other models, this parasol is suited perfectly for advertising purposes. The printing on the parasol’s membrane is clearly visible from every angle, thereby ensuring optimal advertising presence.

Umbrella Frame
The difference may not be obvious at first sight: but it is easier to stand on two legs. For this reason, the large-size parasols from Bahama have an inner and an outer pole that optically come together to form one. Better sturdiness also means better stability and the corresponding safety.

Octagonal, extruded hollow aluminum profile
Pole diameter approx. 73 mm
Wall thickness approx. 1.5 mm
Rounded-off corners (fabric friendly, no fraying)
Standard frame color in traffic white | RAL 9016, glossy finish
PES powder-coated center pole, post-baked
Spring buckle and tension rod made of V2A stainless steel
Easy and quick opening and closing
Spokes, Support Spokes, Bearings and Hinges
The quality of a parasol can only be as good as its supporting and connecting parts.
Aluminum rectangular profiles with rounded corners 24/18, 29/18 or 36/18 mm*
Aluminum profiles made of alloy F30/32
V2A-reinforced steel axis joints
Individually exchangeable spare parts
*depending on model
Installation Options
There is a choice of mobile or permanent installation options. Mobile installation is characterized by a greater degree of flexibility in choosing the location and surface. When installing an in-ground option, building measures must be carried out that have to be taken into consideration during the planning phase. They consist of above-ground and in-ground pieces to be set in concrete.

Sustainability and Environmental Compatibility
The »betex®05« fabric, exclusively crafted for Bahama, and the resulting textile membrane are certified exclusively according to the OEKO-TEX 100 standard, Class 1 which is awarded by independent institutions. Class 1 meets the demands of baby clothing with skin contact.
The OEKO-TEX pollutant test corresponds to the respective intended use of the textiles and materials. In Germany there are clear and reliable criteria for environmental compatibility and sustainability. Bahama demands of its products that every defect or damaged part can be replaced.
Made in Germany
Bahama’s customers always refer back to the great importance of our German production facilities. »Made in Germany« is still a unique selling point and a reason to buy. Bahama‘s full range production facility is located in Germany.
The combination of the highest quality materials and structural features allows Bahama to guarantee the wind stability of its products, depending on the model, up to 130 km/h. In addition to the technical details of the parasol structure, it is the decisiveness of the textile membranes’ color to lightfastness, waterproof material, weight and water column that make each Bahama parasol the highest quality in its class. Trust is placed in Bahama by luxury hotels such as the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, the Hotel Sacher in Vienna and the Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, USA.
Service
Service greatly influences the life span of a parasol. The exchangeable textile membrane of a Bahama parasol can – after being exposed to all sorts of weather conditions for years – be cleaned or replaced. Our service makes a full technical and general overhaul of the product such that they not only look attractive, but can defy the strongest of winds.
No matter where you need Bahama’s service, the Bahama team or one of our expert partners will be glad to help – worldwide.
UV-Protection
Analogous to the sun protection factor/SPF all textiles are labeled with the ultraviolet protection factor/UPF. Built into the fabric it protects against hazardous UV radiation. Bahama uses the fabric brand betex®05 for the production of its parasol textile membranes. This material fulfills the requirements for UPF50+, which indicates an »excellent« dermatological UV protection factor and allows less than one fiftieth (<2%) of the UV radiation through the textile membrane onto the skin.
