Product Information

Traditional parasols have straight poles that often run through the centre of your garden table and are weighed down by a heavy base. Many have a handy tilt function to better control your shade, and some are height-adjustable, too. Surrounding Environment: Consider any potential obstructions or structures near your cantilever parasol that could affect wind flow. For instance, if your parasol is placed close to tall buildings or trees weighing more than 10 kg, it may experience turbulent air currents, necessitating additional weight for stability.

Sometimes when a parasol is new or has been in storage for a while, the joints and ribs are a bit stiff. This, in turn, makes you have to force the parasol open. For parasols that are made from materials that are prone to rust, regular lubrication may be needed. Table Height: Opt for a table with an appropriate height that complements the overall design and functionality of your garden furniture. If you need your parasol base needs extra support, you can also find parasol base weights to slot over the stand before putting the pole into it. This will help stop your parasol from blowing away!

Trust me; you won’t regret it!If you’re working from home, a cantilever parasol will let you take the office outside during summertime.

It’s easy to move around and can stand up to British weather. However, umbrella stands made of this metal need to be firmly anchored down on their bases (sandbags, concrete stones, etc.) and are known to wave about in winds, even medium force winds. UV FADE RESISTANT - will withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight. It will last longer and keep looking fresh unlike other models. Your cantilever umbrella will sway, especially if it's windy. But this isn't necessarily an issue. So long as you have the correctly weighted base, your parasol will be stable in most light winds. In general, opting for heavier weights, such as 10kg or 15kg, provides better support and stability for your 3m cantilever parasol. Heavier bases, weighing around 10kg or more, create a stronger counterbalance against wind forces, reducing the risk of toppling over even during gusty conditions.

Multiple Weights: If using multiple sandbags or base weights, ensure they are of equal weight. This will help maintain a balanced load, reducing the risk of toppling over in strong winds. Once your in-ground parasol base is installed, it’s important to maintain and adjust it periodically to ensure its stability and functionality. Here are some helpful tips: With an overhanging 3 m canopy, this CHRISTOW cantilever umbrella is large enough to cover larger dining areas, as well as sun loungers and paddling pools outside.By following these installation and maintenance guidelines, you can enjoy a stable and reliable in-ground parasol base that will provide shade and comfort for years to come. Remember to always refer to your specific product’s instructions for any additional details or requirements. Compatibility: Buying a Table Fit for Your Parasol Another thing to look out for is the parasol covers. These covers protect the material from getting dirty when the parasol is not in use. If there are any replaceable parts, make certain that the spare parts are easy to find. This will save you a lot of frustration. Opening and closing

Compared with the GardenCo 3m, the Schneider Rhodos Grande offers a more specialised feature of UV protection, with a sun protection factor of 50+. Its 100% polyester canopy is rot-proof and water-repellent, making it durable and able to withstand harsh weather conditions. The parasol also has a swivel joint that allows it to rotate 360°, providing convenient and easy adjustment of the sunshade. 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. One alternative to using a cantilever parasol is a traditional garden umbrella. Garden umbrellas come in various sizes and shapes, and they can be either free-standing or mounted to a base. While they may not offer the same flexibility and ease of use as cantilever parasols, garden umbrellas can still provide ample shade and be a stylish addition to any outdoor space. Additionally, they tend to be more affordable than cantilever parasols and may be a better option for those on a budget. However, garden umbrellas may not be as durable and stable as cantilever parasols and may require more maintenance. Size and CoverageThe weight and design of the parasol are central factors in determining the required weight of the parasol stand. For particularly heavy parasols, we advise you double the weight of the stand suggested by the simple rule of thumb. On the other hand, lighter parasols require a significantly lower weight. How to weigh down a cantilever parasol is an important topic. Cantilever umbrellas are designed to lean. Whilst this doesn't make them more likely to fall over, this style of parasol does need some support to remain safe and to be able to do its job properly. The polyester fabric is relatively water resistant, so during light showers it should offer adequate protection – this is particularly useful if the garden parasol is being used to cover outdoor dining tables, bearing in mind the UK’s changeable summer climate. Choose the right spot: Select an area with enough space to accommodate the open canopy of your parasol without obstruction from nearby trees or structures.
