What to Consider when buying a cantilever parasol

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.

The umbrella's diameter is wide enough to shade dining table. A rust-free aluminum pole and eight sturdy ribs provide extra support and durability. However, you can get most of the benefits of a standing cantilever parasol without having to worry about how heavy the base is, or if it will get blown down during the night, by installing a wall-mounted model instead. Whether it’s raining or 35°C blazing sun outside, Purple Leaf have created a garden parasol that will protect from both extremes. The 240 g polyester canopy is water repellent as well as UV resistant – water will run off instead of seeping through and the colour won’t fade over time. 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.

Conclusion

If you need something simple yet elegant to keep you and your family covered from the sun, then you should consider the GardenKraft 14810 3m Cantilever Banana Parasol. With its 3m wide canopy, you can count on full shade coverage, allowing room for as many friends as you’re allowed to bring round. The parasol is made with six sturdy ribs to support the canopy and as well prevent the canopy from collapsing during extreme weather condition, the British wind as we know it. Also, the crank handle present on the parasol makes it very easy to close or open, so you can start shielding yourself and your family without any delay. Both aluminium and steel are usually powder coated to make them rust- and weather-resistant and to give them some colour. You will need to keep an eye on this and apply another layer of protection to the bare metal if the powder coating is scratched or peeled off. Choosing your parasol wisely will solve all of your problems. High-end manufacturers have thought of the issues you’re worried about, and they’ve created heavy bases to solve these problems. If your parasol fits snuggly through a table, there’s no need for an overly heavy base. A 15kg base, in this instance, will do just fine. The table will do most of the hard work, keeping your parasol in place and stopping it from falling prey to strong winds. Not all parasols come with a cover, and even some that do aren’t exactly offering you the best covers you can get. I’ve had zips come straight off the first time I tried to close them, with some of the really cheap models, and some covers that weren’t even big enough to cover the parasols that they came with!
