Parasols for Playschools and Kindergardens

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Commercial parasols are vital for playschools and playgrounds, offering protection from sun and rain. This document details the specifications, installation procedures, and safety features of MAY parasols, ensuring a safe outdoor environment for children.
UV Protection
Parasols provide optimal UV protection, essential for children with sensitive skin. The UV Protection Factor of the fabrics extends the natural protection time against harmful UV radiation.
Special Model: Playschool Parasol SCHATTELLO
This model features a colorful canopy, available in size Ø 5 m, made from MayTex-Acryl with valance, designed to enhance playground aesthetics.
Impact Protection
Impact protection is available in long and short versions, made from MayTex-PVC, to prevent injuries. The long version covers the mast up to 85 cm, while the short version is for full frame pedestals.
Sizes and Data
The SCHATTELLO parasol uses a telescoping mechanism for easy opening and closing, providing complete shading. Various sizes and models are available to meet different needs.
Installation Options
Multiple installation options, including mobile and stationary methods, ensure compliance with safety standards and adapt to different ground conditions. Detailed descriptions are provided, especially for sandpit installations.
Compliance with Standards
Installation methods comply with BS EN 1176 standards for playground equipment, with advice on techniques to minimize risks and ensure safety.
Conclusion
MAY parasols offer a comprehensive solution for outdoor play areas, combining safety, functionality, and aesthetics. For detailed instructions, refer to the MAY Catalogue for Commercial Parasols.
Installation Methods Overview
  • Method 2: SZ150 with Extra-Length Lower Anchor Tube
    Requires a sand layer higher than 42 cm. To maintain a pole embedment depth of 17.5 cm, the concrete foundation height must be increased, especially in Area B, to comply with standards. For a 92 cm sand layer, Area B's foundation should be 50 cm high.
  • Method 3: SZ150 with Extra-Length Upper Anchor Tube
    The flange is installed in sand, reducing injury risk, but the parasol cannot be fully mounted or dismounted without removing sand. The anchor tube should be set in concrete, with the highest point at least 40 cm below the play area level.
  • Method 4: SZ131 with Extra-Length Upper Anchor Tube
    Similar to Method 3, this method reduces injury risk but limits parasol movement. The anchor tube must be dowelled, with the highest point 40 cm below the play area level.
  • Method 5: SZ150 Non-Compliant
    This method does not meet official standards and should not be used.
Safety Considerations
  • The parasol crank hole is a potential hazard if positioned higher than 1m above the play area level. Ensure extensions do not elevate the crank entry hole above this height.
Additional Information
  • Winter Rod
    A winter rod can substitute the parasol to increase visibility and prevent accidents. It is 150 cm long and features a welded aluminium lid to prevent sharp edges.
