A 3.3m wooden garden parasol with a ruffled canopy — classic style and generous shade for patios and garden dining areas.

At 3.25m in diameter, this is slightly larger than a standard 3m wooden parasol, giving you extra coverage at the canopy edges — useful if you're shading a larger table or want shade that extends a little beyond your seating area. The ruffled canopy edge gives it a traditional, elegant look that works well in cottage gardens, period properties, and any outdoor space where a plain canopy would feel a little plain.

The rope pulley system is one of the most underrated features on a garden parasol. Unlike crank mechanisms that can jam, strip, or become stiff over time, a rope pulley has almost no moving parts to fail. Pull to open, release to lower — it's the most reliable opening system available on a wooden parasol at this price point.

The top vent is a practical addition for UK gardens where the weather changes quickly. It reduces the pressure differential across the canopy in wind, which stops the parasol from acting like a sail and dramatically improves stability on breezy days. It also helps hot air escape on sunny days, keeping the temperature underneath more comfortable.

The two-section pole makes storage and end-of-season packing significantly easier than a single-piece pole. A minimum 12kg base is recommended — for windier spots or a larger patio, 15–20kg gives better peace of mind. Compatible bases from Outsunny (01-0413 and 01-0414) are a known fit.

FAQs

What size base do I need for this wooden parasol?
A minimum of 12kg is recommended. For exposed gardens or windier conditions, 15–20kg gives considerably better stability. The Outsunny 01-0413 and 01-0414 bases are confirmed compatible. We also stock a range of other parasol bases and weights separately.

Is this bigger than a standard 3m parasol?
Yes — the canopy diameter is 3.25m (325cm), which gives noticeably more edge coverage than a standard 3m parasol. It's a good choice if you want shade that extends beyond the edges of your dining table or seating area.

Why choose a rope pulley over a crank?
Rope pulleys are simpler and more reliable. Crank mechanisms have gears and ratchets that can jam, strip, or stiffen over time, especially with seasonal outdoor use. A rope pulley has almost no mechanical parts and is far less likely to fail after a few seasons.

Does it fit a garden table parasol hole?
The pole diameter isn't stated for table hole fitting — this parasol is best used with a freestanding base rather than through a table hole. Check your table's parasol hole diameter before attempting to use it this way.

Can I leave it outside in light rain?
The polyester canopy handles light summer showers. Close it in heavy rain or strong wind, and store the parasol indoors or under a cover during winter to preserve the wooden frame and canopy fabric.

Is assembly required?
Yes. The two-section pole makes assembly straightforward — instructions are included and setup takes around 15 minutes.
