It’s just out of sight!

little grippa™️ secures outdoor umbrellas to tables with a central hole, to stop them flying away! But you can carry little grippa in your bag, and once attached, it’s out of sight. Some might say ‘genius’, one has! See our first testimonial!

No more heaving heavy umbrella bases and sandbags – and risking damage and injury, and taking up space:

“The bases are very heavy, and I’ve got to take them in and out every day,” says Steve, a Watsons Bay café owner. “On windy days it’s difficult so I have these big separate weights to keep them down! And they take up a lot of space in the café. It’s a pain!”

" Too heavy "

" Just right ! "

Making light of shade

Innovative design, premium quality and ease of functionality

Invented by a Sydneysider and developed in collaboration with the Michael Crouch Innovation Centre at the University of New South Wales, little grippa has international application with patent pending.

 

Until now the only way to secure an umbrella through the central hole in your table to stop it dangerously flying off was with a very heavy umbrella base – made of concrete, steel or granite, plastic filled with water or sand, and often anchored with big weights – 10, 15, 20, 25 kgs, and more.

Fed up with the weight?

Our customer research has found that heavy umbrella bases – concrete, steel, stone – are not always the answer to securing umbrellas in a residential, commercial or recreational setting.

Here are some of our market discoveries from those who are fed up with the weight:

• Customers with a garden or courtyard, deck, pool or terrace don’t want to move heavy bases, don’t always have the space for them and they don’t want them damaging, scratching, chipping or staining the lovely ground surface, whether it’s grass, stone, wood or tiles. And sometimes they don’t even want their umbrella pole to touch the ground.
• Hardware shop attendants confided to us that older customers have trouble with the weight of heavy bases – “may require help to carry” warns the website of one supplier. So, trolleys to the rescue to get it into their car, but what about when they get it home, who picks it up then?
And if you choose to have it delivered – weight costs!
• Customers with a balcony say they have no space for these big bases – and their small tables can’t even fit the big base under them. And if they did have the space they don’t want the risk of the base scratching, chipping or leaving rusts stains on their balcony surface, particularly if they’re renting.
• Café owners are fed up with the risk to the health and safety to their staff and themselves carrying the big bases in and out of their café each day, and the concern that the bases take up so much space, often the loss of space for a whole table and say four covers. And customers have to step around the bases, as they’re often in the way.
• Picknickers, campers, travellers, tourists want to create shade on the move at picnic tables in local parks, on the side of the road, in camp sites, national parks – they’ve got a lovely portable umbrella, but no way to secure it to a table with a perfect umbrella hole just waiting for a little grippa!
