Frequently Asked Questions About Cantilever Parasols
What is a cantilever parasol?
A cantilever parasol is an outdoor shade solution with a side-positioned pole and an offset canopy. This design keeps the area directly beneath the canopy clear, making it ideal for garden dining sets, sofa sets, corner sofas, loungers and hot tubs.
How does a cantilever parasol work?
The canopy is supported from the side by a strong frame and arm. Many models can be opened, closed, tilted or rotated so you can adjust the shade throughout the day.
Are cantilever parasols suitable for UK gardens?
Yes. Cantilever parasols are a popular choice for UK gardens because they provide flexible shade over larger seating and dining areas. They should be closed during strong winds, storms and severe weather.
Are cantilever parasols waterproof?
Most cantilever parasols are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. They may provide protection from light rain, but they are primarily designed to provide shade from the sun.
How heavy should a cantilever parasol base be?
The required base weight depends on the parasol's size, height and design. Large cantilever parasols usually need a significantly heavier base than standard centre-pole parasols.
What is a rotating cantilever parasol?
A rotating cantilever parasol can turn around its base, allowing you to move the shaded area without repositioning the entire structure. Many models rotate through 360 degrees.
Are cantilever parasols worth buying?
Cantilever parasols are an excellent choice for customers who want flexible, unobstructed shade over larger seating areas. The side-positioned pole keeps the furniture area completely clear.
