Parasols are designed to provide shade and protection from the sun in gardens, patios, and other outdoor spaces. They are available in a range of sizes, shapes and colours making it easy to find one that complements your garden decor.
Garden parasols are popular because they protect you and your guests from harmful UV rays. Parasol canopies are made from durable UV resistant materials that can block out UV rays. In addition to practicality, parasols complete your garden and add extra style - we even have parasols with LED lights.
When selecting a garden parasol, there are a few factors to consider. First, you'll want to choose a parasol that is large enough to provide ample shade for your outdoor space. Consider the size of your patio or garden and choose a parasol that is proportional to the area you want to cover. But don’t worry we can help you with that.
The next step is to think about what kind of base you need, do you need to be able to move your parasol around your garden? If the answer is yes, then you need a base with wheels otherwise it will be difficult to move your parasol once in place.
Parasols can help you create a comfortable and stylish outdoor living area that you and your guests can enjoy all summer long.
Cantilever Parasols
A cantilever parasol is a type of garden parasol that is designed with a side arm to provide shade without the need for a centre pole. Cantilever parasols are usually supported by a sturdy granite base or one that can be filled with sand or water - we even offer granite bases with wheels so you can easily move your parasol. This makes them a popular choice for outdoor dining areas, patios, and gardens.
One of the main advantages of a cantilever parasol is its flexibility. Side post parasols can be adjusted to shade a specific area or direction as they can be tilted and rotated 360 degrees. This makes them ideal for use in gardens where the sun moves throughout the day, as the parasol can be easily repositioned to provide shade as needed.
Table Parasols
Centre pole parasols, also known as table parasol, is commonly used to provide shade and shelter in gardens, patios, decks and other outdoor spaces. The name "centre pole" comes from the fact that the umbrella is supported by a central pole, which is typically made of wood, aluminium or steel.
The design of a table umbrella typically consists of a canopy made of durable weather-resistant fabric that is attached to the central pole using a series of spokes. The canopy can be opened or closed using either a pulley or crank handle system, and some can even be tilted.
Our collection of table parasols are ideal for almost any garden setting - they can be used in the middle of a dining table or as a standalone parasol.
Parasol Covers
Parasol covers are essential accessories for anyone who owns a parasol or patio umbrella. These covers are designed to protect the parasol from the elements and prolong its lifespan. Covers are primarily used to shield your parasol from bad weather but they’re always a great way to protect against bird droppings and rotting leaves.
Our range of AeroCover parasol covers are made using a breathable fabric which is water-resistant. The breathable material reduces condensation and helps prevent mould and mildew from developing. They even come with a sewn-in fibre glass rod so you can put your parasol cover on with ease.
Bramblecrest parasol covers are designed to protect against UV damage, rain, pollution, frost and dirt. Similar to AeroCover they also include an integral rod for easy use. The Bramblecrest parasol covers are durable, lightweight polyester and are available in grey or sand.
Can you wash a Garden Parasol?
If you need to clean your parasol canopy you can use warm soapy water and a clean cloth. This should remove any marks from your canopy. To remove any dust please use a soft brush. Although you can remove your canopy we would advise against machine washing as this can damage the water-resistant coating.
Safety and Cantilever Parasols
Yes, cantilever parasols are safe. Cantilever parasols come with heavy bases to keep them secure. They need a heavier base than centre pole parasols to counterbalance the wind when the canopy is open. They usually have solid granite bases or bases you can fill with water or sand to keep them stable.
We often get asked if your parasol should wobble -the answer is yes. It is completely normal for your side post parasol to wobble or sway a little bit when it is windy. This is a safety measure to stop the parasol from falling over.
