Garden parasols take up a surprising amount of floor space when you're trying to store them over winter. Wall-mounted hooks or brackets are a simple solution - get them up and out of the way properly. Based in Sidmouth, covering all of Devon.
A decent garden parasol isn't cheap, and leaving it propped in a corner where it might get knocked over or damaged isn't ideal. Proper wall storage keeps it safe and clears your garage or shed floor space.
We install heavy-duty hooks or bracket systems to hold parasols securely off the ground. This works for standard parasols, the larger cantilever types, and even multiple parasols if you need several stored in the same area.
### Storage Options
| Storage Type | Best For | Load Capacity | |-------------|----------|---------------| | Heavy-duty single hooks | Standard parasols up to 3m | Up to 20kg each | | Double hook systems | Cantilever parasols, heavier units | Up to 35kg | | Multi-hook rails | Several parasols in one area | Varies by installation | | Ceiling-mounted pulleys | Very limited wall space | Up to 25kg |
### What We Consider
**Wall strength**: Not all walls are equal. We check what we're fixing into and use appropriate fixings - expanding anchors for brick, coach screws for timber, etc.
**Height and access**: Hooks need to be high enough to keep parasols off the floor but low enough that you can actually get them down when you need them.
**Spacing**: If you're storing multiple parasols, they need enough room that you're not wrestling them past each other every time you want one.
The installation is straightforward but needs to be done right. A parasol crashing down because the hooks pulled out isn't worth saving a few quid on proper fixings.

What to Expect
### 1. Quick Assessment We'll ask about your parasol size and weight, and where you want to store it. If you've already got hooks or brackets, let us know. If not, we'll bring suitable heavy-duty options. ### 2. Installation We arrive, check the wall is suitable, mark the positions, and install the hooks or brackets securely. We'll test them with weight to make sure they're solid before you hang your parasol. ### 3. Done and Dusted We clean up any dust from drilling, show you how it all works, and make sure you're happy with the height and position. Total time is usually around 30 minutes unless you're doing multiple locations.

Good to Know
If you're storing a cantilever parasol (the ones with the offset pole), these are heavier and bulkier than standard parasols. The wall fixings need to be seriously solid - this isn't a job for plasterboard or thin shed cladding. Some people prefer to store parasols horizontally on wall brackets rather than hanging them vertically. Both work fine; it just depends on your available wall space and ceiling height. If you're in a rental property and don't want to drill holes, there are some freestanding parasol storage stands available, but they don't save floor space like wall mounting does. We can still help position and stabilise them if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions about Parasol storage in Sidmouth
How much does parasol storage installation cost?
Most parasol storage installations cost £60 (our minimum charge for the first hour). The job typically takes around 30 minutes, including fitting heavy-duty hooks or brackets to your garage or shed wall.
What type of walls can you fix storage hooks to?
We can install parasol storage on brick, block, timber, or concrete walls. Each wall type needs different fixings, and we come prepared for all of them. We'll make sure it's secure enough for the weight.
Can you install storage for multiple parasols?
Yes, absolutely. If you've got a few parasols to store, we'll space the hooks appropriately so you can hang them without them knocking into each other. Just let us know how many when you book.
Will this work for large cantilever parasols?
For the big cantilever-style parasols, we'll use heavier-duty brackets and ensure the wall fixings can take the weight. These are bulkier and heavier, so the installation needs to be solid. We'll check your wall type is suitable when we quote.
