Expert Custom Cabinet Makers in Shoreham-by-Sea

We recommend that all of our central pole parasols are used through a table as it gives the parasol extra support. If you are going to use them free-standing, we would recommend using our GB30 Granite Base 30KG. Our parasols are designed as sun-shade and it is important that they are not left up during windy conditions. If they break due to being left up in windy conditions, this will affect your warranty claim.

The structure of all woven furniture is made from fully welded powder-coated aluminium frames. The aluminium tubes we use are engineered to provide maximum strength from a lightweight frame.

We recommend that a parasol should be approximately double the size of your table i.e if your table measures 1.5M, we would recommend a 3.0M parasol. If your table measures 1.8M table, we would recommend a 3.0M or 3.5M parasol.

We have designed two types of anchors for different surfaces, the most common being lawns. Using an Alexander Rose soft ground anchor kit avoids the need for concrete, installation is quick and easy without any mess. Our soft ground anchors come with solid brass plates that screw onto the outside legs, these have sleeves to allow the anchors to pass through and penetrate the surface. When an anchor approaches its maximum depth (500mm) a curved fluke is released to grip the bench further into the surface, adding more security. Our hardground anchors are designed to be used with concrete, they have a maximum depth of 110mm and require a 20mm masonry drill bit.

Whilst all metal furniture will degrade over time outdoors, Alexander Rose is able to offer a market leading 5-year warranty on its Portofino range. All items are fabricated carefully using ultra-modern techniques to protect the furniture and prevent corrosion. During the manufacturing process every piece of furniture is individually chemically treated, primed and then powder-coated to ensure a top grade finish and maximum rust resistance. If you do see any fly rust appearing, this will not be corrosive and can be cleaned off using WD40.
