The Deans Shades & Graphics are proud to be one of Glasgow and Scotland’s leading companies in the supply and installation of large commercial grade parasols. Our main mission is to provide only the highest quality products to our customers, and because of that, we have opted to supply parasols manufactured in Germany by the sunshade company, May.

For the past 30 years, May have been one of the leading names in the premium parasol market. Since the company’s start in 1983, May has focused on transferring new concepts in a technical solution that works. The result is shown by their wide range of Umbrellas that are used and proven in all sorts of weather, day in and out world-wide. With their extensive range of fantastic designs, which are all available in striking colours schemes, they are the perfect choice for anyone looking for a commercial or domestic parasol.

Much like ourselves at Deans Shades & Graphics, May Umbrellas was founded as, and still is to this day, a family run business. Although they have massively expanded into having over 100 employees, they still stick to their founding principles that they stated when starting out. May promise to always be at the forefront of providing you with innovative products and consistency in pursuing the best products. Now 30 years later May is being run by the second generation of the family while still being one of the world leaders in premium large parasols.

May umbrellas are manufactured using only the highest quality aluminium and because of this are used all around the world. From shops and restaurants to hotels and 5-star resorts, even for the upmarket domestic market, there is no job too small or large for the May umbrella range.
We offer a wide range of small and large-sized parasols and umbrellas, with the option of adding in heating or a lighting package–which would be perfect for your outdoor commercial area.

All the range of umbrellas has multiple installation choices. Ranging from a freestanding weighted base, which would be ideal for the high street where you cannot attach directly to the ground. To in-ground fixing systems, which is the more sturdy, permanent solution.
With a wide range of fabrics, colours, and shapes available, Deans Shades & Graphics can guarantee that we will find the right solution for your business while gaining extra profits from your outside space.

Due to the light nature of the Filius, it is particularly useful an area that needs to be set up in a short space of time. This makes it the ideal sun and rain protection for restaurants, cafes, or even as an event shelter.

As well as being an attractive commercial umbrella, the Filius is perfectly suited for the domestic market, not looking out of place on your patio or garden.
