About this deal

Each manufacturer has different recommendations when it comes to how the base is anchored down. There are those that provide holes in the base of the umbrella, so it can be bolted down easily. Others sell weights separately. When buying a parasol, it’s necessary to consider how to protect it from the weather. This normally includes buying a cover, to protect your canopy from wind damage and fading; and some weights. These are added to the parasol base and stop it blowing over. Another little peeve I had with this model was that the instructions don’t explain things very well. Assembly is fairly easy to work out, but how to alter the angle of the canopy, and things like that should have been made clearer.

Plus, it can sometimes be difficult to find complimentary items of the right size when sold separately, so it’s reassuring to know that the weights and cover will fit together from the get go, without wasting time shopping around. 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. As whatever model you decide to buy will be spending a lot of time outdoors, choosing one that has been made from materials that are proven to be able to handle changes in weather is essential. To give you some more info before we get buying, and some of the tips will literally tested these to the max 😀 It was such a tough job laying under a cantilever parasol with a G and T. I wish all my assignments were this strenuous 🙂 But it did throw up some key points to be fair that are well worth your time reading: Best cantilever parasols buyer’s guideAlthough it has it’s share of flaws, when you consider that it is less than half the price of the Jarder canopy we also featured, yet is very similar, it actually makes it a very good deal indeed. Will it last forever? I doubt it. But that’s to be expected of any cantilever parasol in this price range – it’s big and does the job:

It’s advisable to store this cantilever parasol away on windy days or if there’s any extreme weather looming. Whilst otherwise strong and well constructed, it can move a lot when things get breezy. People searching for a large, but reasonably priced, cantilever parasol that comes with a couple of nice little extras, should take a closer look at this Libra model from Jader. It’s hexagonal 3 metres diameter canopy will give you all the coverage you need this upcoming summer.

The Norfolk Leisure 2m Square Wall Mounted Cantilever Parasol is a good solution if you have an outdoor space that just isn’t large enough to take a standing umbrella, even one that goes through your dining table. This umbrella is attached to a convenient outside wall and shades whatever ground space is beneath it. 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. Does the umbrella rotate? — A crank swivels the umbrella at its base. Another crank adjusts the angle of the umbrella.

The Greenbay 3m Banana Parasol requires limited assembly and can easily be put up or down depending on the weather. It’s an inexpensive option that offers great value for money. Everything about this cantilever parasol shouts quality, right down to the crank handle you use to open and close the canopy. This is an area where a lot of companies cut corners to keep the price low, but it ends up being one of the things that breaks easily. From the time we spent with this model, I can’t see there being any issue in that department for years to come, nor with the height adjustment, which is just as well done. 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.

Testing & Customers Reviews

If you’ve never seen a cantilever parasol, here’s what they look like- Here’s what your typical cantilever parasol looks like – a cantilever on a pole with a parasol -) Benefits of cantilever parasols Keeping safe in the sun is generally the number one reason to buy a parasol. With keeping cool as a close second. Made from powder-coated aluminium, the frame is lightweight, rust-resistant and robust. Plus, with eight ribs to support the canopy itself, it’s strong too. To keep the large canopy over your head, and not crashing down onto it, there is an alloy steel frame that is actually a lot stronger than it looks. This frame is made even more stable with the included four-piece fillable base, which is very large, and good quality, considering the price and can weigh up to 80kg when filled with sand. This makes it a very good deal in my book, especially when you consider that a decent base bought separately can cost 100-200 quid.
