The parasol holder allows for quick and stable mounting on the handrail of a balcony railing. It is suitable for parasol poles with a diameter of up to 35 mm, while the handrail can have a maximum diameter of 45 mm. The holder is equipped with protective plastic parts that prevent scratches on both the railing and the parasol pole. Additionally, the mounting can also be used as a birdhouse holder, making it particularly versatile.
