Brisamar B9
Approximately9 m²Shade area
Structure poles
7 sections: 4 thin + 3 thick.
Assemble two arms with 2 thin sections each. Use the 3 thick sections for the upright pole.
Guyline attachment point
At the top of the upright pole.
Set up your Brisamar.
Let the breeze do the rest.
Choose your model and check its setup. B9 and B20 have different numbers of pole sections and different guyline attachment points. Ground anchoring, wind alignment and the counterweight follow the same principles.
What changes between B9 and B20
The main difference between the models is the projected shade area: approximately 9 m² for the B9 and approximately 20 m² for the B20.
The actual area depends on the setup height, the position of the sun and wind speed.
Brisamar B20
Approximately20 m²Shade area
Structure poles
9 sections: 6 thin + 3 thick.
Assemble two arms with 3 thin sections each. Use the 3 thick sections for the upright pole.
Guyline attachment point
At the height between the penultimate and final sections of the upright pole, below the top.
Protect the fabric when inserting the arms
Each arm must have a rubber-capped end. Insert this protected end first into the fabric opening, starting from the centre: one arm on each side. Keep the aluminium edge from touching the fabric directly.
Guidance for both models
After preparing the poles and guyline for your model, follow these steps to stabilise the canopy.
Choose firm, level sand
Choose a wide, flat area of firm sand. More compact sand, such as sections closer to the sea, helps hold the base. Avoid loose sand and very uneven ground.
Bury the base section securely
Bury between 1/3 and 1/2 of the base section’s length in the sand. This section anchors the structure to the ground.
Keep the upright pole at 90°
The upright pole must form a right angle with the ground. Check from the front and side: it must not lean.
Use the fabric bag as a counterweight
Fill the fabric storage bag with sand and place it along the same wind and fabric axis, as shown in the photos. The bag, upright pole and fabric should be aligned.
Adjust the guyline tension
Keep the guyline taut without slack, but do not pull hard enough to tilt the upright. Check that the attachment point is correct for B9 or B20.
Check alignment while in use
Check the wind direction from time to time. If it changes, reposition the bag and adjust the guyline to keep the pole upright. Constant adjustment is not needed.
The canopy relies on wind to support the fabric. Brisamar gives approximately 12 knots (22 km/h) as a reference for full operation. In light winds, the fabric stays low.
