GardenCo 3m Cantilever Banana Parasol INCLUDES BASES & COVER - Hanging Parasol with Crank Handle - Outdoor Garden and Patio Sun Shade

Product Information

I always pay attention to the materials used for both the frame and the canopy. A sturdy frame made of aluminium or steel will be more durable and weather-resistant, while a high-quality canopy fabric will protect me and my guests from harmful UV rays and look great in the process. I like to look for fade-resistant and water-repellent fabrics for longevity and ease of maintenance. Opening Mechanism and Adjustability To begin the installation process, gather the necessary tools: a shovel (for digging), spirit level (for ensuring accuracy), tape measure (for taking measurements), and a rubber mallet (for pounding). It’s also important to take safety precautions such as wearing gloves and protective eyewear. Additionally, be mindful of the base weight and ensure it is appropriate for the task at hand.

Steel Poles: Some manufacturers offer steel poles as an alternative to traditional aluminium ones. Steel poles provide additional sturdiness and can be paired with base weights for maximum stability. So, if you’re looking for an effective garden parasol which works well when up, but can also be easily stored, you should get yourself a cantilever parasol. Air vents at the top help wind to flow through without lifting the umbrella; however, when there is a breeze the canopy can rotate, needing to be readjusted to keep it shading from the sun.

 Choosing the right type of parasol

The Norfolk Leisure 2m Square Wall Mounted Cantilever Parasol is a good solution if you have an outdoor space that just isn’t large enough to take a standing umbrella, even one that goes through your dining table. This umbrella is attached to a convenient outside wall and shades whatever ground space is beneath it. Versatility: When not using the parasol, you can repurpose the table for dining or other activities, maximizing its utility. 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. The SONGMICS also has a wider diameter of 3m and is supported by 8 sturdy ribs, casting a wider shadow and providing more coverage. The parasol has a crank lift opening mechanism for easy operation, but it requires additional weights of 70-90 kg to ensure stable use. Overall, the SONGMICS parasol may be a better choice for those looking for a wider shade area with waterproof features. You’ll want to look for a model with UV protection, with a rating of at least UPF 30+. Consider a parasol that offers UPF 50+ if you want increased protection for your family . Most parasol canopies are made from heavyweight polyester, and you should aim for a polyester that is minimum 180 g/m ² .

This unit doesn’t have much work attached to it if you think about it. It features a 360 degree mechanism that rotates the parasol to the angle needed. You don’t need to move that manually either because a very well designed pedal is dedicated to that function. Simply press the pedal and the umbrella rotates. Keep in mind that these approximate ranges and weight specifications may vary depending on the specific design and construction of your cantilever parasol. It is always best to refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations for kg. Considering Additional Factors

Steel is another popular material for these umbrellas. It’s heavier than aluminium, even if steel tubing is used. As such, it holds up better in windy conditions but still needs to be weighed down. Installing a kg in-ground parasol base can provide a sturdy and stable foundation for your outdoor umbrella. Whether you have a 3m cantilever parasol or any other type of large parasol, setting up the base correctly is crucial to ensure its proper functioning and longevity. Step-by-step guide for installing an in-ground parasol base In terms of the parasol itself, offering 360 ° rotation and various ‘tilt’ angles, it can be positioned as required – this offers you the flexibility to sit where you want, without the necessity of constantly moving to stay in the shade.

If you’re working from home, a cantilever parasol will let you take the office outside during summertime. The best cantilever parasols have adjustable angle mechanisms, offering shade from the sun no matter its position in the sky.

Plus, it can sometimes be difficult to find complimentary items of the right size when sold separately, so it’s reassuring to know that the weights and cover will fit together from the get go, without wasting time shopping around. Cantilevered umbrellas are garden umbrellas on a banana-shaped stand. They are designed to stand away from your garden furniture and yet cast shade over it. The umbrellas may seem as if they take up a lot of space, but their footprint (the base) is very small and that’s their main advantage. They take up very little ground space and yet provide a significant amount of shade. Plus you can easily move them around your garden, even if you’re using weights to hold them down. The stand Featuring six heights and angles to choose from, this cantilever parasol is also one of the most versatile on this list. Able to create coverage from the sun no matter the time of day, the 360° rotation also means that the large 3 x 3 m canopy can be turned to cover a large majority of the garden. Parasol Size: Measure the diameter and height of your 3m cantilever parasol to determine if it will fit comfortably on top of the chosen table.

What shape is your cantilever parasol?

Although they don’t offer as many features as some of the other models, common parasols are still a great option, especially if you’re looking for something simple but effective. Although there is no ‘tilt’ mechanism, the crank handle makes it easy to put up and down, and it can be shifted from side to side depending on where the sun is. A cover is also provided, meaning the parasol can be folded down neatly at the side of the house when not in use. So, a little more information about it, this elegant cantilever parasol is available in a variety of colours and sizes. I can confidently say it’s the best one I’ve ever owned. However, it’s worth mentioning that my Jarder Libra 3m parasol is still an excellent, more affordable option, which I also recommend. I continue using my Jarder Libra, which has held up well for nearly four years. That said, the Purple Leaf parasol, being about three times more expensive, is worth every penny for those seeking a premium, commercial-grade cantilever parasol.

Table Height: Opt for a table with an appropriate height that complements the overall design and functionality of your garden furniture.The parasol keeps you in the shade and protects you from the most harmful of the sun’s rays. It also protects the umbrella stand from sun damage. In smaller gardens with less space available, having a parasol with a large footprint can be really limiting.
