Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a large garden parasol?
We consider parasols of 3m diameter and above to be large garden parasols. These are ideal for covering large dining sets, multiple seating areas, or commercial outdoor spaces such as restaurant terraces and hotel gardens.
Do large parasols need a heavy base?
Yes — large parasols require a suitably weighted base to remain stable in wind. As a general guide, a 3m parasol needs a base of at least 25kg, while a 4m or 5m parasol may require 50kg or more. Always check the manufacturer's base recommendation for your specific parasol.
Are large parasols suitable for windy UK gardens?
Large parasols can be used in moderate wind conditions, but should always be closed during strong winds to prevent damage. Many of our larger parasols feature wind vents in the canopy to reduce uplift. We recommend closing any parasol when wind speeds exceed 25mph.
Can large parasols be used commercially?
Yes — many of our large parasols are suitable for commercial use in restaurants, hotels, and hospitality venues. Commercial-grade parasols typically feature heavier frames, more durable canopy fabrics, and greater wind resistance. Please contact us if you need advice on commercial quantities.
Do you offer free delivery on large garden parasols?
Yes, we offer free UK mainland delivery on all large garden parasols. Due to their size, some models may be delivered via specialist courier. Delivery timescales are shown on each product page.
