At Belveo, we offer three different canopy materials for your parasol. While all provide maximum sun protection (UPF 50+), the choice depends on your specific needs:
- Fabric thickness (and therefore durability)
- Colour fastness over time
- Aesthetic finish (look and feel)
-Water repellency (resistance to the British weather)

All canopies available on our website are compatible with Belveo or Easywind parasols with 8 ribs. To find the right canopy: Identify the size and type (centre-pole or cantilever) of your current parasol. Find the corresponding canopy. For example, if you have a 3x3m centre-pole parasol, select the 3x3m centre-pole canopy.

Check the year of your parasol:
If you purchased your parasol in 2022 or earlier, you can choose a canopy marked compatibility: 2021-2022. If you purchased your parasol in 2023 or later, you can select a canopy marked compatibility 2023-2026.

Not sure about your canopy size?

For a round parasol: Measure from the top cap to the end of one of the fibreglass ribs. This will give you an approximate canopy size.

For a square or rectangular parasol: Measure from one side to the other, then repeat for the adjacent side.

Does your parasol have 6 ribs, and you can't find the right canopy? Some older models are no longer in production, but we may still have compatible replacement canopies in stock that are not listed online. Email us at contact@belveo.com, and we’ll be happy to assist you!

Replacing your parasol canopy takes only 5 to 10 minutes. If two people are available, it’s even quicker, but don’t worry—it’s perfectly doable alone. A step ladder will be needed to reach the top of the parasol.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Open the zips on each fibreglass rib and gently bend them to remove the canopy.

2. Unscrew the top cap at the top of the parasol to release the canopy, then slide it off.

3. Position the new canopy, close the zips on each rib.

4. Screw the top cap back on, and that’s it—your parasol is ready for more time outdoors!

Clean stains as soon as they appear to prevent them from setting. For gentle maintenance, hand-wash your canopy by soaking it in lukewarm water with 150ml of mild soap per litre. Gently scrub with a sponge or soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. For tougher stains (excluding polyester canopies), a diluted bleach solution can be used: Mix 1 litre of water, 150ml of mild soap, and 50ml of bleach in a spray bottle. Apply to the entire canopy, let it sit for 10 minutes, scrub with a sponge, and rinse thoroughly.

If preferred, you can machine wash the canopy: Remove it from the parasol, close all zips, and wash at 30°C on a delicate cycle with your usual detergent. For mildew stains (excluding polyester canopies), add 50ml of bleach and start the machine immediately to dilute the solution properly. Once clean, always air dry your canopy.

To maintain your canopy in the best condition: Never store or close your parasol while the canopy is damp, as this can lead to mildew. Keep it away from reflective surfaces or heat sources that could damage the fabric. With these simple steps, your canopy will stay clean and in top condition season after season.
