Rust-resistant aluminium pole, 3x3 square metres canopy, polyester material, crank mechanism, UPF 50+ protection. The Uniprodo UNI_UMBRELLA_2SQ250DG Hanging Cantilever Parasol is many steps above equals. Talk of aesthetics, its 180 g/m2 durable polyester cover is finished with brilliant orange colour, and without a doubt, this colour will illuminate your patio with fantastic shadow. Talk of efficacy, the cover present in this parasol is made of polyester with UPF 50+ and moisture repelling function, so with this, you can choose to snug like a bug in the rug when the sun is scorching or when it is raining cat and dog outdoor.

Words are not enough to express the efficacy of the Divine Style Royal Purple Garden Cantilever Parasol. Due to its waterproof cover, you can use the parasol under the rain without any hassles. Besides, the waterproof cover is coated with anti-UV materials to ensure you are safe from harmful sun rays while keeping you safe from moistures. Interestingly, the UV-coating prevent the cover from fade and thus enhancing long time use.The parasol has a modern tilting cantilever design & 360° rotation, meaning that you can position the shade and the parasol exactly where you need to, without the pole getting in the way. Plus, during the day, this delux cantilever parasol is equally useful; it’s lightweight and easy to adjust so you can sit in a shady spot no matter where the sun is. The large canopy can tilt and rotate around the pole, providing good coverage.

Additionally, the Patio Sun Shade has a sleek and modern design, making it a stylish addition to any outdoor space. However, it does not come with a cover for the bases or a steel/aluminium shaft like the original GardenCo 3m. First and foremost, I think about the size and coverage that the cantilever parasol should provide. It’s essential to measure the area I want to shade and choose a parasol with the proper dimensions. Larger parasols can offer more coverage, but they may also be more challenging to manoeuvre and require more substantial bases for support. Materials and Construction One other thing to be aware of is how much space the base with weights attached will take up – it measures over 1 m across, so it’s worth being sure that you have the room to accommodate this. It’s easy to assemble, with a manageable weight of 12.8 kg – the aluminium construction helps keep things light. The canopy itself is made from 180 g polyester fabric – this is both durable and long-lasting, able to stand up to frequent use as well as the elements.

Cantilever Parasols - the specifications.

Rust-resistant aluminium pole, 8 ribs, tough polyester cover, 6.25sq. metres coverage, UV50+ protection, 360° rotation. Upright - the standard parasol design, an umbrella standing straight up. This type of parasol tends to be the cheapest. However, it’s worth noting that their protection is limited to whenever the sun is directly overhead. Cantilever parasols come in various sizes, typically ranging from 2 - 4 meters in diameter so first of all measure your outdoor space and determine the coverage required to ensure the parasol will provide adequate shade for your needs. There’s no point buying a 2 sq m parasol if you need to cover an 6 set dining set. Very reasonably priced compared to some other cantilever parasols, this Outsunny model offers good value for money considering how many ways it can be adjusted.

UV protection is another aspect to consider. With children playing, senior citizens, and families using the parasol, it is crucial to consider the safety aspect of the parasol. After all, the canopy is meant for protection, not to make you ill. A good quality sun umbrella shade should protect you from prolonged exposure to the harmful UVA and UVB rays of the sun to avoid severe skin and health concerns. Polyester is commonly used for the canopy fabric, being durable and water-resistant. Look for a parasol with a high-quality and UV-protected polyester canopy to ensure longevity and protection from the sun. One of the key advantages of cantilever parasols is their adjustability. Look for a parasol that offers various adjustable features, such as a tilting mechanism, rotating canopy, and adjustable height. These features allow you to customize the angle and position of the parasol to maximize shade coverage throughout the day without actually having to move the parasol. We strongly suggest that if strong winds are forecast you take down the parasol or at the very least fold up and secure the canopy so that it can’t flap around.

Got no hole for your parasol?

Sail - a simple way to create shade in the garden by hanging a fabric sail from walls, poles, fences and trees. Great for small plots, but can become troublesome if not fastened properly.

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. Opening system: Opening and closing the canopy should be easy, as the parasol’s push-up or pulley mechanism should do the hard work for you. However, if the canopy is large or you have reduced mobility, consider a winch with a crank handle. Cantilever - a parasol where the pole stands off to one side, and the canopy is suspended from a long beam. This frees up floor space and keeps the parasol’s support pole out of the way, so people can talk without an obstructive pole between them. However, cantilever parasols are more susceptible to falling down in high winds. The size of this parasol is quite remarkable, providing a generous 400 x 300 cm coverage area, perfect for shading a large patio or poolside space. In addition, its anthracite grey powder-coated aluminium frame adds a sleek finish and durability. The sun protection factor of 50+ according to the Australian/New Zealand standard (AS/NZS4399:1966) ensures adequate UV protection for those hot summer days.

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.
