This one does two. The double-sided canopy spans 295cm in length and 150cm in width, covering two seating zones simultaneously — ideal for a patio table with chairs on both sides, or two separate garden seating areas positioned back to back. When the sun goes down, the built-in solar LED strips provide a warm ambient glow that extends the time you can comfortably use your outdoor space into the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe solar panel charges automatically throughout the day. After a full day's sun (approximately 8 hours), you get up to 3 hours of LED use in the evening. It works best with direct sunlight during the day — a parasol positioned in partial shade will charge less efficiently. There's no separate solar panel to position, no cables to run across the garden, and no plugs to think about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe UPF30+ canopy provides meaningful sun protection during the day — blocking at least 97% of UV radiation — while the vented design reduces wind resistance and helps keep the temperature underneath cooler on still, sunny days. The crank handle opens and closes the canopy smoothly, and the 38mm pole fits most standard freestanding parasol bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 25kg minimum base is required for freestanding stability — the double-sided canopy creates more wind loading than a standard single canopy, so a properly weighted base is important.

After approximately 8 hours of direct sunlight, the lights provide up to 3 hours of ambient evening use. There's no external panel, no wiring, and no charging cable — the system is entirely self-contained within the parasol canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if it's a cloudy day — will the solar panel still charge?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSolar panels charge in diffuse light, but at a lower rate than direct sunlight. On a partially cloudy UK summer day you'll still get some charge, but evening use time will be shorter than after a full sunny day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat base do I need for this double parasol?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA minimum of 25kg is recommended. The double-sided canopy creates more wind surface area than a standard single canopy, which increases wind loading on the base. We stock a range of parasol bases and weights separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow wide is the shade coverage?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe canopy spans 295cm in length and 150cm in width — enough to cover a medium-sized dining table with chairs on both long sides, or two adjacent seating areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this suitable as a parasol with lights for evening use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the solar LED strips provide a warm ambient glow suitable for relaxed evening use. They're not bright enough for task lighting but are ideal for creating a comfortable outdoor atmosphere after sunset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs assembly required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, simple assembly is needed.
