Rectangular Parasols

Rectangular parasols are designed to shade longer, narrower spaces — a standard garden dining table, a row of sun loungers, or a rectangular decked area where a round canopy leaves too much exposed. The oblong canopy shape provides more usable coverage per metre than a round alternative, which is why they are a popular choice for outdoor dining sets with six or more seats.

This collection includes rectangular garden parasols in sizes from 2x1.25m through to 3x2m, in aluminium and wooden frames with a range of canopy colours. When comparing models, the pole material, rib count, and canopy fabric weight all affect how the parasol performs in wind and how long it lasts across seasons. A tilt and crank mechanism makes a meaningful difference to everyday usability, allowing you to reposition the shade as the sun moves without lifting or rotating the whole parasol.

If you need a rectangular parasol that does not require a centre pole, our Cantilever Parasols collection includes rectangular overhanging options.
