Outsunny 3(m) Garden Banana Parasol Hanging Cantilever Umbrella with Crank Handle and Cross Base for Outdoor, Sun Shade

Product Information

The parasol keeps you in the shade and protects you from the most harmful of the sun’s rays. It also protects the umbrella stand from sun damage. Although there is no ‘tilt’ mechanism, the crank handle makes it easy to put up and down, and it can be shifted from side to side depending on where the sun is. A cover is also provided, meaning the parasol can be folded down neatly at the side of the house when not in use. Weather Resistant– Made from 180g polyester, this cantilever protects from UV, glaring sun and mild rain and wind.

What truly sets this Mayfair parasol apart is that it comes with a solid granite base instead of the typical plastic one. This feature alone makes it an outstanding piece of kit, complete with aluminium ribs and frame, and a foot pedal for easy rotation through 360 degrees. Its much easier to rotate than the Jarder cantilever parasol. This is not intended to be a full statement of your rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations.

How To Return A Product Aluminium frame: A strong core for this garden umbrella parasol, with metal ribs connecting to the canopy for extra support. I’ve also included the Sorara Roma Deluxe Parasol as an alternative, as my brother invested in one last year and although it is only a little over a year old, it has proved a great alternative in the same price range as my Purple Leaf Parasol, with a similar level of quality and functionality. What I will say is both of these parasols are very heavy. The bases alone must be 200kg. Let’s just say their not something you want to be physically moving from the patio to the lawn, for example. However, you can do what I do and rotate the parasol 180 degrees from the patio and over the lawn if they are next to each other. Thats what I love about cantilever parasols the ability to be able to rotate them into different positions.Although there’s no ‘tilt’ feature on this Greenbay Cantilever Parasol, it can rotate through 360° and adequately intercepts the sun from most positions – when the sun is low in the sky it may not be quite as effective. At 15 kg (without weights added, which will be necessary for stability), it’s not too heavy to move around if needed, either. When buying a parasol, it’s necessary to consider how to protect it from the weather. This normally includes buying a cover, to protect your canopy from wind damage and fading; and some weights. These are added to the parasol base and stop it blowing over. Sometimes when a parasol is new or has been in storage for a while, the joints and ribs are a bit stiff. This, in turn, makes you have to force the parasol open. For parasols that are made from materials that are prone to rust, regular lubrication may be needed. Ensure the frame is made from rust-resistant steel, and ideally look for a model with a water-resistant canopy . Although these parasols will predominantly be used during fair weather, sudden downpours are never off the cards!

Another thing to look out for is the parasol covers. These covers protect the material from getting dirty when the parasol is not in use. If there are any replaceable parts, make certain that the spare parts are easy to find. This will save you a lot of frustration. Opening and closing It’s advisable to store this cantilever parasol away on windy days or if there’s any extreme weather looming. Whilst otherwise strong and well constructed, it can move a lot when things get breezy. Note:Please Use Weights Over 60kg) Overhanging design, two-tier fabric canopy: Stand this cantilever parasol to the side of your garden seating and dining sets - won't get in the way. Top tier allows air to pass through gently - help avoid canopy turning inside out. Both aluminium and steel are usually powder coated to make them rust- and weather-resistant and to give them some colour. You will need to keep an eye on this and apply another layer of protection to the bare metal if the powder coating is scratched or peeled off. Dimensions: Φ293 x 243Hcm. Outsunny weight skus: 01-0221, 84D-061, 84D-021. Do not use in heavy weather.Plus, during the day, this delux cantilever parasol is equally useful; it’s lightweight and easy to adjust so you can sit in a shady spot no matter where the sun is. The large canopy can tilt and rotate around the pole, providing good coverage.

Four-position tilting canopy: Set the garden parasol canopy to different angles - keep protected a way you want. Crank handle to open/close garden umbrella easily. Upright - the standard parasol design, an umbrella standing straight up. This type of parasol tends to be the cheapest. However, it’s worth noting that their protection is limited to whenever the sun is directly overhead. The 2 x 2 m canopy also functions well in gardens that have a lot of trees, fences, or other obstacles. Standard parasol canopy size tends to be 3 m² +, which can be overbearing in gardens with limited space, but this Norfolk Leisure Cantilever Parasol is much more manageable. Cantilever Parasols are great for protecting us from the sun in hot weather. This much we know. But, of course, we’re also aware that the weather in the UK isn’t always reliably fair.The problem is, that just because you’re in the shade, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re protected from the sun’s harmful UV rays. This parasol is best suited for those looking for flexibility and the ability to move it 360° to cover different areas. The UV-resistant canopy, along with the powder-coated aluminium structure, adds elegance and durability to the parasol. Tiltable– Being angle adjustable, the shade can be tilted to allow you to find just the right level of shade throughout the day. Plus, it can sometimes be difficult to find complimentary items of the right size when sold separately, so it’s reassuring to know that the weights and cover will fit together from the get go, without wasting time shopping around.

I’ve not personally owned this parasol but my brother does which is why I have included it in this review. I would say is very similar to the Purple leaf parasol and so is the price.Air Ventilation– Allows air to pass through the bottom to outside, helping to prevent it lifting up the canopy and overpowering it. Lastly, if you’re interested in having a parasol with an added ‘wow’ factor, you may want to look out for one with features like lights inside the canopy. This can create a really special ambiance and can be a great way to make use of your parasol even when night draws in. You can also put lights inside the parasol yourself.
