The umbrella holder allows for quick and stable mounting on the railing of a balcony. It is suitable for umbrella poles with a diameter of up to 40 mm. The railing can have a maximum diameter of 45 mm or, in the case of a square railing, 45×35 mm. The holder is equipped with protective plastic parts that keep both the railing and the umbrella pole safe from scratches. Additionally, the mounting can also be used as a birdhouse holder, making it particularly versatile.
