Stable and durable A: Cantilever umbrellas are generally simple in their construction, consisting of a base, a parasol cover, and a frame. The cover of the parasol provides from the elements, with the weighted base helping to keep the umbrella stable. Patio umbrellas are usually one of two types – table model and cantilever. The table design has a straight pole that fits through the hole in your patio table. This model throws shade directly onto what’s beneath it, including a crowd eating lunch at the table. You can also use the table model as a freestanding umbrella if you have a heavy base for it. Parasols for garden umbrellas come in a variety of shapes – the round, square, hexagonal and octagonal are the popular choices. The number of spokes that hold the umbrella in its extended position varies with the shape. For example, a square parasol has four spokes and the hexagonal one has six spokes. The more spokes you have the sturdier the parasol structure. Central parasols are made to place in the centre of a dining or bistro set, ensuring everyone stays cool in the shade. Our sage green wooden parasol exemplifies the traditional garden umbrella and comes with UV30+ protection and a stylish hardwood frame to complement any garden décor.The VonHaus 2.7 Metre Steel Powder Coated Parasol is a tabletop model that fits into the hole in the centre of your patio table for shade, particularly during meal times. The VonHaus Cantilever Parasol Set is a high-quality outdoor umbrella that you can use on your patio or anywhere else in the garden. Its banana-shape frame lets you sit or lay away from the stand, keeping it out of the way of your chairs, table and sun lounger. The generous size of the beige hexagonal parasol (at 3m in diameter) fits most needs for escaping the hot and bright sun without having to move indoors. The powder-coated parts are grey and the parasol is beige, with neutral hues to offset the colours in your patio décor. STRONG STEEL FRAME: With a powder coated finish for rust-resistant reliability, the metal frame creates a sturdy body for the sun shade, made more stable by the wind-resistant air vent.

One extra that comes with this patio umbrella is a strap. As this umbrella doesn’t come with a storm cover you can use the strap to put around the parasol when you’ve lowered it. This stops the parasol from flapping around in the wind, but we do personally recommend buying a separate cover to give the umbrella a little extra protection. Whether you’re planning family feasts under your new canopy or using it as a freestanding feature, this 2.7m parasol makes cooling off a breeze. Effortlessly tilt the canopy to provide a respite from the sun’s rays and outbreaks of rain. Cantilever parasols are some of the most advanced on the market, constructed with a tough yet malleable design for maximum protection and increased flexibility. With these parasols, the base and main pole stand away from the seated area, whilst the umbrella itself leans forward to provide cover. 2. What is the best base for a cantilever parasol? The parasol is cream coloured and hexagonal. It has six struts that give solid support to the parasol. You tilt the parasol by pushing a button and moving the parasol to the angle that you want.One other useful feature is that the parasol is showerproof so you can stay outside in a light drizzle. However, raindrops from heavy rain may come through the parasol as light drizzle. Pros Both our best overall and the runner up of cantilevered parasols have an incredible deal to recommend them, The VonHaus parasol set and Jarder Libra cantilever parasol. Both give a 3m area of shade, are adjustable in height and tilt, easy to put, the canopies are of different colours, and have 4 base segments. If you want a parasol with led lights, then PananaHome Garden Parasol is a great option.The more expensive umbrellas are made from Sunbrella. This is a fabric made specifically for outdoor umbrellas and marine use. This tightly woven fabric is waterproof and its properties (mould, mildew, and stain resistant) are within the fabric itself and not painted on top. A good question to ask is if the parasol has a Sun Protection Factor built in.

Another great material for the frame is acrylic. It is a rich material that is mould-resistant and stain-resistance. These covers tend to cost more a little more than polyester.The base and a storm cover are not included with this umbrella. You can probably do without the storm cover because there is a strap to hold the parasol to the frame when it’s not in use, however, we would really recommend investing in a separate cover and you do also need to buy a base. You do have to bend down low when closing the parasol, otherwise, it lands on your head. This problem may be true of garden umbrellas in general. The Charles Bentley cantilever parasol is a mid-sized, affordable variant for individuals who enjoy spending time outside. It usually comes with a lever and crank system for easy closing and opening and is also user-friendly. Kids should be kept away from using this mechanism as they may be hurt. Along with the umbrella, the base and the assembly instructions comes a water-resistant storm cover that also protects this garden umbrella from UV rays. Pros

The shape and weight of the base add to the stability of your patio umbrella. You need a heavy enough base so the umbrella won’t tip over if it’s bumped or if there’s a strong wind when it’s up. Sometimes the umbrella comes with a base but you need to make sure that it’s heavy enough.

The polyester cover offers water and UV protection. There is also a wind hole at the top of the fabric that helps it not to blow over on extreme windy days as it improves wind flow. The parasol also has eight ribs in its canopy for extra stability. One common observation from online reviewers is that the cream/off-white colour isn’t the colour of the umbrella they received. Variously, it was described as a yellow, buttermilk or banana colour. These users did not necessarily like the colour, whatever they called it. Reviewers praised the Charles Bentley company for its customer service, especially when they needed replacement parts. Keep in mind that the cantilever style of parasol requires a heavier base to counterbalance the canopy while open. Smaller parasols (2-3m) can be held securely with a 50kg base if free-standing, while larger ones (3-4m+) will require a minimum of 50-70kg. 3. Are cantilever parasols good in wind? At a diameter of 3m, the hexagonal parasol provides a significant circle of shade. The parasol’s fabric is coated to have a sun factor protection of 30+. This gives an added protection factor, along with your sun cream. Raising, lowering and securing the parasol is made easy using the crank handle, which we like to see in garden umbrellas.
