Carbon is a beautiful colour, calm and cool. It goes with everything. As does taupe, another of the colours we love - and it's also really trendy! Soft, subtle greys are at the heart of all of our garden furniture and alfresco accessories, which means nothing clashes.
The great thing about these dramatic garden umbrellas is their versatility. Unlike static umbrellas you can easily move them around, angling them to follow the sun around the sky and stay cool. We have large versions and smaller, neater ones for little patios and outdoor spaces. They're all superb quality, a delight to chill under and a lovely way to welcome people to your garden in comfort and style.
Which of these cantilevers will you choose? We also sell rock solid, heavy bases, some in granite and others in plastic covered concrete, really heavy for reliable positioning even when it's windy. There's even a brilliant wall mounted cantilever parasol for the garden, perfect for fixing above a garden furniture set for shelter and shade.
FAQs on Cantilever Parasols
A cantilever parasol, also known as an offset umbrella, features a side-mounted pole and an overhanging canopy. This design allows for unobstructed space beneath the shade, making it ideal for dining areas, lounges, or patios where traditional center-post umbrellas might be cumbersome.
Consider the following factors:
- Size: Choose a parasol size that adequately covers your seating or dining area. Common sizes range from 2.5m to 3.5m in diameter.
- Material: Opt for a rust-resistant frame, such as powder-coated aluminium, and a canopy made from durable, UV-resistant fabric like acrylic or polyester.
- Mechanism: Look for features like a crank handle for easy opening and closing, a tilt function for adjustable shade, and 360° rotation for flexible positioning.
- Base: Ensure the parasol comes with a sturdy base or plan to purchase one separately. A base weighing 70–100kg is recommended for stability, especially in windy conditions.
Cantilever parasols are designed to withstand various weather conditions; however, it's important to:
- Wind: Avoid using the parasol in strong winds. Always secure the canopy and, if possible, remove the canopy during gusty conditions.
- Rain: While many canopies are water-resistant, prolonged exposure to rain can lead to mildew or fabric degradation. Consider using a protective cover when not in use.
- Winter Storage: It's advisable to store the parasol during winter months to prolong its lifespan. If storage isn't possible, ensure it's properly covered and secured.
Regular maintenance includes:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the canopy with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the fabric.
- Frame Care: Periodically check the frame for any loose bolts or signs of wear. Lubricate moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
- Storage: When not in use, especially during adverse weather, store the parasol in a dry, sheltered location.
