About this deal

I would have liked to have seen more than two screws on the mounting as this is effectively when most of the stability comes from, but through our tests, they held up well so I guess I can’t grumble too much. Then again, we haven’t seen how well it handles a sudden storm, and I wouldn’t leave it outside if the weather looks to be changing, just to be on the safe side. Ensure the frame is made from rust-resistant steel, and ideally look for a model with a water-resistant canopy . Although these parasols will predominantly be used during fair weather, sudden downpours are never off the cards!

This reasonably priced rust-resistant aluminium cantilever parasol offers 360° free-arm rotation operated by a foot pedal to enable you to easily swing the canopy around as the sun moves without moving the base, and a tilting canopy that offers even more ability to fine-tune your shade. 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. It might seem as though a crank mechanism is a complicated piece of equipment with many parts, but it has its basis in simple engineering principles. As such, there are a couple of main components that do the heavy lifting — the crank, the spring, the spool — and these can occasionally go wrong. Fixing and replacing them is a simple process as long as you take a methodical and patient approach. With a couple of tools and new parts, you’re fully capable of keeping your patio umbrella a functional and attractive aspect of your garden set-up.

I mean, what’s the point of having decent lights when the parasol is tipped over in a slight breeze and the lights or solar panels end up damaged?

Buying a 3m Garden Parasol

With four different colours to choose from, including beige and orange, there are options available for both the understated, modern garden and those with livelier themes. In fact, with colours like dark blue on offer as well, it’s even possible to tailor the canopy to match the colours of the flowers in the garden.

To give you some more info before we get buying, and some of the tips will literally tested these to the max 😀 It was such a tough job laying under a cantilever parasol with a G and T. I wish all my assignments were this strenuous 🙂 But it did throw up some key points to be fair that are well worth your time reading: Best cantilever parasols buyer’s guide People searching for a large, but reasonably priced, cantilever parasol that comes with a couple of nice little extras, should take a closer look at this Libra model from Jader. It’s hexagonal 3 metres diameter canopy will give you all the coverage you need this upcoming summer.Frames can be gently cleaned with a soft cloth using a mix of dish soap and warm water. How should you store a parasol at the end of summer? 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.

The pole, ribs and crank are made from steel which is stronger and heavier than aluminium to keep the parasol weighted and provide superior wind-resistance. They're also powder-coated for rust-resistance and long-lasting outdoor use.There’s always something to complain about though, I mean, I am British after all! With the Purple Leaf cantilever parasol, it’s more to do with what isn’t there as to any flaw with the design. You see, the fillable base you see in the advertising photos doesn’t come with the product and has to be bought separately, and it’s not the cheapest thing out there. You could always buy a cheaper base to use of course, but then it might not be up to the same standard as the rest of the parasol.
