Caravita’s Big Ben umbrellas offers cool shade over a wide area. An excellent choice when entertaining a large number of guests, the Big Ben comes with a open diameter span up to six meters! Perfect if you’re wanting to create a backyard vibe similar to those seen on upscale restaurant patios, this umbrella is highly recommended and designed for the hospitality industry.

 

 

Using Big Ben 2 couldn’t be easier. With a crank handle made of high-grade stainless steel, the Big Ben patio umbrella is easily opened and closed. A crank operated lift system with aluminum lifting spindle works inside of the umbrellas’ frame. Watch demo here.

Tables, chairs and patio decor can stay where they are while you open or close the Big Ben umbrella. No need to move guests around while opening or closing the umbrella, because the it’s designed to be very minimally invasive (see diagram below). That’s mainly because of the integrated telescopic design system which elongates the mast when you close the parasol. Big Ben is a must-have for hotels and restaurants; and even a great option to have in private gardens, patios or pool areas.

Caravita’s sharp eye for smart, unique design innovation means that the Big Ben has thought of everything and yet even features integrated lighting. An optional feature, Big Ben’s lighting wiring is completely hidden inside of the shade struts. It provides a bright light so that dining or festivities can last all night long. Caravita can set the mood with these unique integrated LED-strutlight Elegance for Big Ben 2! Designed to be elegant and unobtrusive, the modern LED-strips provide just the perfect amount of light. The wiring is protected and hidden from sight inside of the sunshades’ frame. The LED-Strips are installed permanently and don’t even have to be removed when closing Big Ben 2. The lights can be managed with the central switch on the umbrellas’ mast or with a remote control. The remote control also allows the user to dim the light for even more ambience.

If the temperature drops and gets a little chilly, Big Ben also features attachable infrared radiators to crank out some heat so that guests can stay warm while outdoors.

Caravita offers these infrared heaters for all those chilly days and nights. These small heaters flank the 4 corners nicely and are as minimally invasive as the lighting. Switches to control the heaters are located on the top of the umbrella mast.  They have literally thought of everything when they designed Big Ben!

‘The stainless steel flange with its’ integrated alignment guide, developed by CARAVITA, is one of the special features of the Big Ben commercial patio umbrella. It utilizes the installation of large parasols and the umbrella with an elegant look. The impressive 3 3/10” mast is made out of 5 mm thick aluminum, with lower reinforcement. Big Ben easily becomes one of the sturdiest shades of its class’. -Caravita

 

By far, the most impressive and unique feature is Caravita’s smart design makes the Big Ben umbrella extremely durable! In order to prove that, Big Ben was tested by structural engineers in a wind tunnel, where the 9’11×9’11-version stood up to stormy winds of up to 63mph!

Watch here to see the wind tunnel field test and judge for yourself how Big Ben can stand out  on top among all it’s competitors.
