Right now, putting up a garden umbrella is more complicated than it needs to be.

The Palma Umbrella is the first automatic garden umbrella. Royal Botania is set to revolutionise the way you provide shade on your patio or garden area. 
All of the mechanical cleverness is hidden within. The base contains a quick-release mechanism and the aluminium shaft encloses a gas strut. Together they provide the most convenient operation possible. All you need to do is take hold of one of the arms and start to lift the umbrella. The mechanism does the rest, raising it to a fully open position. By pulling down on one of the arms, you can retract it in just the same way.
No longer do you need to get under the canopy and push the umbrella open or close it. You just stand back and let the patented mechanism do the rest.
