Product Information

A: The material used for cover and frame is essential. The best and the most preferred material for the frame is aluminum because they are light, weatherproof and sturdy. Cantilevered umbrella; suspends the parasol from a steel frame so the pole doesn’t get in your way. Parasols for garden umbrellas come in a variety of shapes – the round, square, hexagonal and octagonal are the popular choices. The number of spokes that hold the umbrella in its extended position varies with the shape. For example, a square parasol has four spokes and the hexagonal one has six spokes. The more spokes you have the sturdier the parasol structure. Olefin covers are also waterproof and made from synthetic polyester fabrics. It’s mildew resistant and doesn’t fade easily. Not all garden umbrellas come with a base so you might have to buy one separately. Make sure to buy one with enough weight so the umbrella won’t blow away.

At times, when a parasol has been in storage for quite a while or is new, the ribs and joints are a little stiff, making you have to force it open. So, for parasols made from materials, which are prone to damage and rust, frequent lubrication may be required. Along with the umbrella, the base and the assembly instructions comes a water-resistant storm cover that also protects this garden umbrella from UV rays. ProsThe frame is straight and is made of powder-coated steel. Not only is this material durable, but it’s also rust-resistant.

It goes without saying that everyone loves summer – but not everyone is a fan of squinting into the sun’s glare while trying to relax in the garden! Create your own shaded haven with this banana parasol. Classic cream parasol One extra that comes with this patio umbrella is a strap. As this umbrella doesn’t come with a storm cover you can use the strap to put around the parasol when you’ve lowered it. This stops the parasol from flapping around in the wind, but we do personally recommend buying a separate cover to give the umbrella a little extra protection. Patio umbrellas are usually one of two types – table model and cantilever. The table design has a straight pole that fits through the hole in your patio table. This model throws shade directly onto what’s beneath it, including a crowd eating lunch at the table. You can also use the table model as a freestanding umbrella if you have a heavy base for it.

The shape and weight of the base add to the stability of your patio umbrella. You need a heavy enough base so the umbrella won’t tip over if it’s bumped or if there’s a strong wind when it’s up. Sometimes the umbrella comes with a base but you need to make sure that it’s heavy enough.The ribs usually across the canopy cover aid to offer stability and also to put them up and down, it is simply a case of using a crank\lever handle on the pole. The VonHaus cantilever parasol set offers shelter from the sun whilst adding style to your gar-den or patio. It’s neutral appearance usually fit with any planting scheme or outdoor décor and is the perfect budget option. The Jarder Libra cantilever parasol provides most of the same features as the VonHause Parasol. It is neutral-coloured, affordable, and it might offer the shade that you require. This parasol stands 2.5 m high (8ft 2in) and provides ample shade with a large 3 m (10ft) x 3 m (10ft) umbrella.
