On days when the sun is merciless, shadows are required on the patio or balcony. In order to create a shadow area, umbrellas are usually used. As conventional round umbrellas are too large for most patios and balconies, semi-circular umbrellas have been developed.

Criteria to consider when choosing a semicircular parasolmust be taken into account
