Bahama Largo
The Heart of it All
Technically Largo is our most elaborate model. The impressive, large-size parasol has an unusual and elegant shape opening upwards like a tulip. The underlying principle of a parasol is literally turned »upside down«. Only the textile covering and the cladding of the center pole are visible. Other technical details are nearly all hidden in the parasol. Pure premium beauty. The parasol’s sturdiness is guaranteed for wind speeds of up to a max. of 130 km/h.

Umbrella Frame
Center Pole
The difference may not be obvious at first sight: but the large-size parasol from Bahama has an inner and an outer pole that optically come together to form one center pole. Better sturdiness also means better stability and the corresponding safety.
Outer Pole
Functionally chambered extruded aluminum profile
Diameter 220 × 10 mm
Inner Pole
Functionally chambered extruded aluminum profile
Diameter 130 × 6 mm
Optional Extension of the Center Pole
By lengthening the center pole, it is possible to overlap when installing numerous parasols.
Spokes, Support Spokes, Bearings, Hinges
The quality of a parasol can only be as good as its supporting and connecting components.
All aluminum parts: pickled, PES/RAL-powder coated, fired at approx. 190°C
Spokes:
Outside functionally chambered extruded
aluminum profile
42 × 26 × 3 mm (for larger models 66.5 × 42 × 6 mm)*
Spokes at pressure point:
Outside functionally chambered extruded aluminum profile 80 × 42.9 × 7.5 mm
(for larger models 110.1 × 54 × 13.5 mm)*
Reinforcement Profile:
Extruded aluminum profile 42 × 26 × 3 mm and 54 × 38 × 4 mm

Special Technical Details
The crown unit of the inner pole consists of 16 or 20* double-shear bearings with 16 or 20* support spokes, which are in turn connected to the spokes.
48 or 60* bearings
Lower carriage with membrane connection plate; on this 16 or 20* consoles are mounted; this prevents the membrane from piling up.

Protective Cover
Not only does it keep everything together, it also keeps it clean. Film packaging is often not enough protection. To this end it includes – especially for winter or long-term storage – a robust protective cover of high-quality betex-fabric (betex®05) with PVC reinforcement, with cording and zipper.
Theft Protection
At the lower end of the membrane there is a two-part, cylindrical safeguard. The metal cylinder can be locked thus protecting against theft and unauthorized use as well as against spray water. Rainwater is collected in the cylinder and led into the drainage in the footing console. Here you will also find the motor and/or the crank slot for opening and closing the parasol.
Lighting | LED-Lighting
There are moments when time flies by. The sun was just shining and now twilight has set in. The »light« installed in the parasol creates a uniform and pleasant atmosphere that turns the night into day and lets you forget the time.

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, it is especially the lightfastness of the fabrics’ colors, the waterproofness and grammage as well as the water column of the textile membranes which make Bahama top of 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 an 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.
