A 3m cantilever garden parasol with an adjustable canopy in a warm coffee finish — pole-free shade with a natural, neutral tone that suits most garden settings.
If you've ever tried to fit a standard centre-pole parasol over a dining set and ended up with a pole awkwardly in the middle of the table, a cantilever solves the problem entirely. The side arm positions the canopy above and to the side, leaving the space underneath completely unobstructed. Everyone gets an uninterrupted view across the table, there's more practical surface area to use, and moving around the seating is easier.
At 3m (295cm diameter), this cantilever comfortably covers a standard 4–6 seat garden dining set or a generous garden sofa arrangement. The adjustable canopy angle lets you track the sun throughout the day — tilt it to the east in the morning, overhead at midday, and towards the west in the afternoon. You do this from the arm mechanism without touching the base or the furniture underneath.
The coffee/brown tone is a versatile choice — it works with natural rattan, teak, dark aluminium, and most neutral garden furniture without looking out of place. It also shows less dirt and sun fading than a pale canopy over time, which is a practical consideration for a parasol that stays outside for months at a time.
The cross base is included. Weights are not — and for a cantilever parasol, getting the ballast right matters more than almost anything else. The offset arm creates significant leverage on the base. For a 3m cantilever, 40–50kg minimum is the right starting point. We stock cantilever parasol weights separately.

FAQs
What weight base do I need for a 3m cantilever parasol?
A minimum of 40–50kg of ballast is strongly recommended. The offset arm creates far more leverage than a standard centre-pole parasol — insufficient weight is the most common cause of a cantilever tipping in wind. Weights are not included; we stock cantilever parasol weights separately.
Will a 3m cantilever cover my dining table?
Yes — the 295cm canopy diameter comfortably covers most 4–6 seat garden dining tables, with the shade extending slightly beyond the table edges to keep everyone comfortable. For an 8-seat table, a larger cantilever would be a better fit.
Why choose a cantilever over a standard parasol?
A cantilever leaves the full space underneath clear — no pole through the table, no one sitting next to the pole, full table surface available. It's particularly useful over garden sofas, loungers, and dining sets where a central pole simply doesn't work. The trade-off is that cantilever bases need more ballast due to the offset design.
Can I use it on a balcony?
Yes, provided there is enough space for the 100x100cm base and the canopy to open fully. Weight the base thoroughly — this is especially important on a balcony where tipping could cause damage or injury.
Is the canopy angle adjustable?
Yes — you can tilt the canopy to follow the sun throughout the day without rotating the base.
Is assembly required?
Yes. Instructions are included and it takes around 20–30 minutes.
