About Our Cantilever Parasols
Cantilever parasols, also known as side post parasols, are a popular choice for outdoor shading solutions due to their versatility, functionality, and stylish design.
Cantilever parasols have a sleek modern design, adding a touch of elegance to any outdoor area. They are available in different colours, shapes and sizes allowing you to choose a parasol that best suits your space and needs.
Unlike traditional parasols that are supported by a central pole, cantilever parasols are supported by a side pole and a horizontal arm, allowing the canopy to hover freely over the desired area. This design offers several advantages that make cantilever parasols an excellent addition to any outdoor space.
One of the primary benefits of cantilever parasols is the unobstructed space they provide underneath the canopy. Without a central pole, there is more room for furniture arrangements, making them ideal for covering dining tables, lounge areas and more without any hindrance.
The main use of a parasol is to protect you from the sun and UV rays. Consider your space, what you want to shade and how much shade you need. Thinking like this will help you choose the right garden parasol.
Choosing a durable parasol
As parasols stay outdoors all year round come rain or shine it is important to choose one that will last. Always consider the materials used, especially for the pole. The majority of the parasols out there will have poles made from aluminium. Aluminium is perfect for outdoor use as it is powder coated and will not rust when exposed to the elements - for this reason we would always recommend going for an aluminium pole.
Another material used is steel, steel is a stronger material than aluminium however it does come with a flaw. Steel and stainless steel are prone to rust when it is exposed to bad weather such as rain.
Wood parasols are popular due to their stylish appearance, the natural tones complement any garden. However, one thing to note is that the appearance of the wood will change over time. As it is a natural product it will mellow into a silvery tone, it is possible to keep up to the initial appearance of the wood by using suitable treatments.
