PURPLE LEAF 2.7 X 3.65 M Garden Cantilever Parasol, Large Rectangular Overhanging Patio Umbrella with Crank Handle and Tilt for Balcony and Outdoor, Begie

Product Information

Also, patio umbrellas are not built to withstand very strong winds. For safety, take down the umbrellas during severe weather. Consider investing in a protective cover to further extend the life of the outdoor umbrella. Conclusion In terms of the parasol itself, offering 360 ° rotation and various ‘tilt’ angles, it can be positioned as required – this offers you the flexibility to sit where you want, without the necessity of constantly moving to stay in the shade. Although there is no ‘tilt’ mechanism, the crank handle makes it easy to put up and down, and it can be shifted from side to side depending on where the sun is. A cover is also provided, meaning the parasol can be folded down neatly at the side of the house when not in use. Making sure that the cantilever parasol you are thinking about buying has UPF protection is important. It’s something to look out for especially if you sit outside a lot or have young children. Featuring six heights and angles to choose from, this cantilever parasol is also one of the most versatile on this list. Able to create coverage from the sun no matter the time of day, the 360° rotation also means that the large 3 x 3 m canopy can be turned to cover a large majority of the garden.

So, if you’re looking for an effective garden parasol which works well when up, but can also be easily stored, you should get yourself a cantilever parasol. The defining feature of the Purple Leaf Patio Umbrella is its double-top canopy design. It provides protection from the elements while providing ventilation and airflow.However, if you do have a larger budget, the Purple Leaf Gazebo is a fantastic choice for those who want the best of the best. It’s simply at another level, and it has more functionality and is easier to manoeuvre, it will even handle winds of at least 30mph as previously mentioned which is impressive. I would have liked to have seen more than two screws on the mounting as this is effectively when most of the stability comes from, but through our tests, they held up well so I guess I can’t grumble too much. Then again, we haven’t seen how well it handles a sudden storm, and I wouldn’t leave it outside if the weather looks to be changing, just to be on the safe side. Fortunately, the manufacturers have clearly taken the great British weather into account when designing this umbrella as well – made of 220 g polyester it creates decent shade when the sun hits, but is also showerproof for those inevitable cloud bursts. It won’t fade in the sunlight either, which means the contemporary, stylish grey colour remains reliably modern and fresh. The thing to remember about these bases is that, in most cases, they need to be filled with water or sand to add weight to them and so the larger the stand, the heavier it can potentially be. If we haven’t already been clear so far- the heavier the better. Struggling with the wind, sun, and light rain is an average daily occurrence for the average Britisher. While weighing the decorative value of cantilever parasols, it is also necessary to consider the weather resistance of the materials used in the making. The umbrella needs to be durable and long lasting.

Operating the Jarder Libra is fairly simple. The canopy opening and closing is easy to work out and you won’t need instructions (thank God, as they aren’t exactly great!) and changing the angle of the tilt is no problem either. Rotating the canopy on its central axis does take a little more time, as you have to loosen screws, but it only takes minutes with a bit of practice.Rust-resistant aluminium pole, 3x3 square metres canopy, polyester material, crank mechanism, UPF 50+ protection.
