3m Deluxe Cantilever Garden Parasol in Aqua

A 3m deluxe cantilever parasol built for corner sofas, sun loungers, and anywhere a standard pole-through-table parasol won't work.

The freestanding cross-stand sits beside your furniture rather than through it, so placement isn't dictated by a table hole. Crank the canopy open, use the pedal at the base to raise it to height, and tilt it to follow the sun through the afternoon. When not in use, it closes fully flat for storage or to sit out overnight.

Twenty-four ribs give the canopy a fuller, more structured span than a standard 8-rib parasol — and the 48mm pole handles the extra leverage of a 3m freestanding canopy without flex. UPF 50 polyester canopy in aqua. Pair with the 80kg Water Fillable Base for Cantilever Garden Parasols for safe freestanding use. Base sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What base does this parasol need?
Cantilever parasols require a minimum of 50kg base weight. We recommend the 80kg Water Fillable Base for Cantilever Garden Parasols, which fills to 80kg across 4 interlocking polyresin sections. Sold separately.

Why does this have 24 ribs when most parasols have 8?
The 24-rib structure gives the 3m canopy a fuller, more even shape and better resistance to wind distortion than a standard rib count.

Can it be used with a dining table?
The cantilever design is freestanding, so it doesn't go through a table hole — it sits beside your furniture. It works well over corner sofas, sun loungers, bistro sets, and dining tables where a freestanding option is needed.

Should it be closed in wind?
Yes. Close the parasol during windy conditions and when not in use to protect the canopy and frame.

Is the aqua colour weatherfast?
The canopy is made from weather-proof polyester with UPF 50 rating. We recommend closing it when not in use to maintain the colour over time.
