SUNMER 2.7M Parasol Garden Umbrella Sun Shading | Water Repellent Polyester 180 g/m² (UV 30+)| Easy to Open and Close Crank Mechanism | Pole Width ø 38 mm (Excl. Base)

Product Information

A parasol base is not included, so you’ll need to buy one separately to keep the parasol weighted. The steel pole has a 38mm diameter and is compatible with most parasol bases. If all you want is a simple garden parasol to use with your outdoor table or cast a bit of shade when the sun is at its peak, then a basic patio umbrella generally makes the most affordable option. Of course, you might also use the opportunity to inject some style into the garden with stripes, tassels, and more! 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. Aluminium frame: Strong metal frame for this outdoor parasol - with metal ribs connecting to the canopy for extra support. The square ribs that measure 12 x 18mm are much stronger than standard parasol ribs which makes the parasol much more durable against tough weather conditions.

The parasol can be fully closed and easily stored away if necessary. We always recommend that the parasol remains closed when not in use and is always kept closed in extreme windy conditions. Make sure you have everything you need to enjoy the good weather when it arrives; find the ideal way to relax with our guide to the best sun loungers and get ready to cook up an alfresco storm with the best BBQ. You’ll need to consider how big an area you want to shade when you’re buying, but also how the parasol fits into the space. Make sure you take any overhanging features in your plot into account so you can factor in the clearance needed. Four-position, 15-60° adjustable angle canopy: Fixes easily to the position you want. Garden parasol is suitable for use different times of the day.The best garden parasol for your outside space will depend on your needs, the size of your garden, and your budget. Pole and ribs are made from durable aluminium which is lighter than steel to easily move around your garden. Rust-resistant with a powder-coating to protect from corrosion.

However, in our tests, the crank handle was easy to operate and did a smooth job of raising and lowering the canopy, and the tilt button was easy to depress to achieve optimum shade coverage. We also liked the push-button design that made for super easy assembly of the two poles. It's perfectly possible to clean your garden parasol to keep it looking its best. You can start by gently using a soft brush or vacuum with a brush attachment to clean away dust and small debris. Then, wash the fabric using a diluted mix of laundry detergent, leave it to soak for 20 minutes, then rinse it before allowing it to dry. The 200g polyester canopy offers plenty of sun protection as it has a UV rating of 50+. Additionally, it has a fade resistance level of 5/6 which means the colour is extremely protected against fading or discolouration. We personally find a push-fit pole assembly slightly easier to operate than this screw-fit design, but considering the features this parasol delivers at a great value price point, it's a preference we're more than happy to overlook.

Even better, buy a specially designed cover to use when your umbrella goes into storage to give it the best possible protection. The canopy itself is water-resistant but offers a little less sun protection than the first choice on our list with a UV30+ rating. You also don't get the LED lights with this option, although with a significant cost saving we'd be happy to sacrifice the built-in option and consider some different outdoor lighting ideas instead.
