Kingfisher 2.4m Wooden Green Garden Parasol

Product Information

We think the most important feature to invest in is a tilt function, because, as you soon learn when you put up a patio umbrella without this functionality, the sun rarely tends to be directly above. A tilt adjustment allows you to angle the canopy to create shade when the sun is a little lower in the sky, and it helps to create a shaded area where you need it, without having to drag the umbrella around. The parasol pole and ribs are made from steel which is tougher and weightier than aluminium for superior wind-resistance. The pole, ribs and handle are also powder-coated for rust-resistance. The larger Chairs and Table Teak Garden Dining Tables are purpose made for the larger family gathering, entertaining, and for people who cater for weddings and similar celebrations where there will be a number of hungry people to feed and provide drinks for. Due to technical reasons, we cannot put direct links to all the products, so to navigate to the parasol you want to see, you will have to:

If you're not blessed with Herculean muscles or great height then it's useful to add a winding crank mechanism to your wishlist. This means you get a handle at a (generally) more accessible height that's attached to a pulley mechanism that opens the canopy as you wind. All that canopy fabric can be heavier than you think, so it's a useful feature to look out for. The best thing for it? Invest in a gorgeous garden umbrella or parasol. Whilst they allow you to enjoy brilliant weather for longer, the best parasols and garden umbrellas also double-up as a stylish addition to your garden. What is the difference between normal and cantilever parasols? As such, the choice of whether or not to opt for a cantilever is largely a matter of preference. Non-cantilever parasols are often sturdier in difficult weather, by design, but you can get great versions of both. It is, however, worth noting that low-quality cantilever parasols will swing like a sail when hit with big gusts of wind, so it’s worth investing in quality. What size garden parasol do I need? With a 35mm shaft to fit neatly into the pre-made hole in the Teak Fixed Tables,andextending Tables and (neatly covered with a purpose made brass cover when not in use) the brand new 2.4m Parasol is a perfect match. Should it be required there is available a choice of Parasol base units to ensure stability.This parasol stands 2.5 m high (8ft 2in) and provides ample shade with a large 3 m (10ft) x 3 m (10ft) umbrella. Look for an umbrella pole made of rust-resistant aluminum for the best weather resistance outdoors. They'll also be lighter to move than a powder-coated steel or iron alternative. FAQs How do you clean an outdoor umbrella? It's well worth measuring this out on your patio before you shop, as the circular design can often take up a lot more space than you think! Also, take into account the umbrellas pole height to ensure the canopy will have enough clearance around any roof overhangs or awnings, and most crucially, that it’s not in danger of spontaneous combustion courtesy of a too-close portable grill.

The answer to this question is given by the size of your patio table or the whole area that will require shading. When we talk about the ‘ size of the parasol’ we actually mean the size (width) of the canopy and NOT the heigh of the pole. Our range of parasols starts at 2m and goes up to 9m. What size parasol do I need for a 4, 6 or 8 seater table? A base is required to weigh the parasol down. If you intend to use it with a table, our 11kg base is an ideal option. If you wish to use it without a table, we recommend our 25kg base (sold separately). Parasols are the finishing touch to your garden furniture. Not only parasols highly effective at providing shade on those super hot days, garden umbrellas can really bring your entire garden together. Whether you have rattan or wooden garden furniture, an overhanging parasol can create a stylish feel in your garden and flawlessly complement your current furniture.And lastly, if you're adding shade to a balcony, a small courtyard, or an awkwardly shaped patio, then a half-moon patio umbrella that sits flush against the wall will offer a smart space-saving solution.
