What type of parasol is best for a garden?
It depends on your space. Cantilever parasols are better for flexible shade over seating or dining areas, while standard centre pole parasols are more compact and suited to smaller setups.
What size parasol do I need?
This depends on what you’re covering. For a dining table, choose a parasol that extends beyond the table edges. Larger seating areas usually benefit from cantilever designs for better coverage.
Are cantilever parasols better than standard parasols?
Cantilever parasols offer more flexibility and keep the centre space clear, making them ideal for larger setups. Standard parasols are simpler, more compact, and often easier to move.
Can parasols stay outside all year?
Parasols are best stored or covered when not in use, especially during strong winds or bad weather. Using a cover helps extend their lifespan.
