The All New Sirocco by Bambrella: Everything You Need to Know

If you’re in the market for a brand-new outdoor umbrella, you can never go wrong with the Bambrella brand. Today, we’re going to focus on one of their latest products, the all new Sirocco. 

Eco-friendly, versatile, and low-maintenance, the Sirocco umbrella comes with a beautiful bamboo frame that blends in almost anywhere. Throughout this article, we’ll explore everything you need to know, including the key features, how to assemble them, and how to look after your parasol moving forward. 

How Much Do They Cost?

The new Sirocco by Bambrella is now available in Australia in 3 square sizes that will suit both homes and cafes alike! The pricing is excellent, and each parasol comes with a water resistant polyester canopy that is already fitted in the most popular ECRU colour.

Bambrella price breakdown:

• The 2x2m Square is slightly smaller than its more expensive 2.1×2.1 Square Levante cousin, but is only half the price (selling for just $297).
• The 2.6×2.6m Square is a new size and with 8 struts represents excellent value at only $495
• The 2.9×2.9m Square is also available with the 8 struts @ $550

Why We Recommend the Bambrella Brand

As you can probably guess by the name, Bambrella products are crafted with natural bamboo. Why bamboo? Bamboo is non-toxic, beautiful, and environmentally sustainable. It also offers the same level of strength as steel with a greater level of flexibility. 

Another reason they use bamboo is its remarkable regenerative qualities. On average, it can grow up to ten times faster than most regular tree species. In some environments, it has even been shown to grow four feet in less than 24 hours!

By using this material, Bambrella has firmly established itself as one of the most sustainable brands in the global umbrella industry. Of course, this isn’t the only reason we stand by the Sirocco and so many other options from their product range.

Key Qualities of the Sirocco 

As a leading importer of outdoor umbrellas and over 30 years of industry experience, we know how to spot a quality product. Let’s cover some of these key qualities now: 

Flexibility 

One of the best qualities of the Sirocco is the ability to customise. This umbrella is available in three different canopy materials, including:

• Polyester (1 Year Guarantee)
• Spuncrylic® (3 Year Guarantee)
• Recasens Recacril® (10 Year Guarantee)

You always have a wide range of options for the base, whether you need it going through a table, free-standing, or with no base at all! This kind of flexibility makes them perfect for a wide variety of outdoor environments.

5 Year Warranty Guaranteed

Perfect for Outdoor Dining

Outdoor seating is synonymous with Melbourne's food and hospitality scene, and the Sirocco Bamboo Parasol is a great accessory for restaurants and cafes across the city. Whether you’re based in the CBD, Oakleigh, or South Yarra, these parasols provide essential shade, making outdoor dining a comfortable and enjoyable experience for patrons.

How to Set-Up, Open, and Close Your Umbrella

1. Initial Setup

Remove it from the box and lay it on a clean surface. Next, screw the finial to the top of the parasol. Gently screw the bottom pole onto the canopy section. If it won’t screw in, don’t force it! Unscrew and try again.

Fit the parasol into the base sleeve, then adjust the tightening bolts until they are screwed into place.

2. Opening

When you want to open it, release the cover tie and make sure all arms are free to move before opening it fully.

Pull on the rope to raise the parasol upwards until the canopy is tight. Next, coil the pulley rope around the rope hook (located on the runner).

3. Closing

Take the pulley rope off the hock, then pull the rope away from the parasol to release it from the locking cleat. Allow the canopy to collapse while maintaining a grip on the rope.

Double check that the canopy isn’t caught on any of the arms, then fold the flaps around the frame and secure it all with the cover tie. 

Here is some more safety and maintenance advice direct from Bambrella

1. Do not leave any parasol in the open position in winds in excess of 20mph, without being fitted and bolted to the ground by a licensed contractor.

2. Always close your parasol when not in use!
