The parasol holder enables quick and stable installation on the handrail of a balcony railing. It is suitable for parasol poles with a diameter of up to 40 mm. The handrail may have a maximum diameter of 45 mm or 45×35 mm in the case of a square handrail. The bracket is equipped with protective plastic parts that protect both the railing and the parasol pole from scratches. The attachment can also be used as a birdhouse holder, making it particularly versatile.
