Patios are amazing spots of relaxation while watching your day disappear in front of the spectacular sunset. It’s fun on the patio at all hours. Choosing the most suitable style of sun shade for your space is all important, as it can help or hinder how often you use your balcony. ‘Cantilever umbrellas eliminate the pole in the center of balcony seating areas, but tend to be less durable with high wind,’ explains Ashley Newton, Lead Design Consultant at ShadeScapes Americas. ‘However, they can also offer features like tilting and rotating, which can make them more advantageous throughout the day. Market/center pole umbrellas have inherent durability and are also available with mobile bases, but may not always be the most optimal for space planning. Budget is also a factor as there is a wide range of prices and associated quality on the market.’ Manual operation with a hand crank on the left side.
