The base sections, I wasn’t quite as happy with though, and they certainly aren’t as durable as the ones you get with the Jarder parasol.

However, I’ve never left it up in heavy rain and would advise you don’t either. I’m just not sure how it would handle the weight of the rain on the canopy. Durability of materials. The pole of the umbrella should be strong and sturdy. The most common materials used for this type of outdoor furniture are aluminum and steel. Not only are these materials hard enough to carry the weight of the canopy, but they are also rustproof.

DURABLE MATERIALS – The parasol cover is made from durable 160g/M2 Polyester, ensuring that it will help you to keep dry in the event of any sudden rain showers, while also remaining lightweight and easy to move. The cantilever pole is made from light and durable steel, as well as the 6 ribs at the top of the pole, and both are strong enough to keep the cover upright even on windy days. The bigger issue is the size of the parasol because this is what determines how much shade you will receive. Most umbrellas have canopies that range from 3 to 3.3M. There are also rectangular (2.7 X 3.65 m), round, and square (from 2.5 to 3.65 m) shapes. 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. Slide up has you pushing up a ring attached to the ribs as you would in a regular umbrella. You stop when the ribs are fully extended and the ring rests on a ridge at the top. This is best for small parasols because they can be a bit stiff to operate.

Another option is metal. Opt for a stainless steel base that’s powder-coated, as this has better durability and won’t succumb to rust. You can also get these in various styles, but again, they’re a little pricey. Fancy going in depth and full nerd when it comes to how rust resistant aluminium is? Well, here’s video for you- Plus, the parasol can rotate up to 360 degrees without any hassles, in this view; you can easily set it in the direction of the sun or rain. And besides, the 250 x 250 cm dimension of the cover is large enough to form all-round protection for you and your family.

That’s where centre post parasols stand out – they possess greater wind resistance because of their centre of gravity. Many outdoor tables come with a central hole for a parasol. There’s no need for a monstrous base when you’ve got one of these. I have to be a little bit clear here though, and explain that some cantilever parasols are wall mounted, and so the range of motion might be less than a full 360 degrees. However, this type of parasol tends to be sturdier because of the fixed point on the wall, rather than relying on a weighted base. Not everyone has hundreds of pounds to spend on a cantilever parasol, and even if they do, it doesn’t mean they want to part ways with that much, especially if they only want something to use every now and again. Although there’s no ‘tilt’ feature on this Greenbay Cantilever Parasol, it can rotate through 360° and adequately intercepts the sun from most positions – when the sun is low in the sky it may not be quite as effective. At 15 kg (without weights added, which will be necessary for stability), it’s not too heavy to move around if needed, either.

The canopy has a cantilevered feature that allows you to change the angles of the umbrella. The effect is that you can adjust it to provide a better shade. The canopy is attached to a base that is either straight or curved. How Cantilever Parasols Differ One thing to bear in mind is the size of the base with weights: at 100 x 100 cm it might be a little large for some spaces, especially if required to fit around patio furniture, so it’s worth taking measurements before purchasing, especially if you’re working with a smaller space. Sometimes when a parasol is new or has been in storage for a while, the joints and ribs are a bit stiff. This, in turn, makes you have to force the parasol open. For parasols that are made from materials that are prone to rust, regular lubrication may be needed.
