The Benefits of a Cantilever Parasol in Your Garden





Wouldn't it be nice to have your dinner party in the garden without a large pole obstructing the view? Do you need shade over you garden furniture but your table doesn't have a parasol hole? Or do you want to get a little shelter from the sun and showers when you're relaxing in your hot tub without having to ruin you masonry with an unsightly awning?


Well now you can with cantilever parasol! This type of parasol is becoming ever more popular due to its convenience and multitude of uses and because of the fast growing garden leisure products industry there are a multitude of different styles, colours and sizes available to suit every situation.


The cantilevers design is perfect for any range of furniture or situation that will not allow for a traditional parasol which normally fits through the centre of a table. They can be placed next to your furniture set and still provide you with all the required protection with intruding on you and your guests. Using them in conjunction with an outdoor hot tub is increasingly popular as they are less damaging then fitting an awning onto the side of your house and can be easily moved around if necessary.


A standard design feature of most parasols nowadays is air vents in the top of the canopy which helps to stop it rocking or toppling over in strong gusts of wind. Canopy material is generally made with a degree of weather proofing so it not only helps protect from the harmful suns rays but also from light summer showers. As with all parasols it is best to make sure that the canopy material is easy to clean to prevent having to bring it inside after every time you use it or having to pay out extra for a cover.


The majority of models come with a base that can be built in to decking or patios if you want the shade in a permanent place like over a hot tub, however, if you want to leave the parasol mobile they base can be weighted down with heavy items such as patio slabs. Standard bases are available which are similar to those of traditional parasols.


The winding mechanisms are simple and effortless and most canopies can be tilted and swivelled so you can have the shade just where you need it. The frame construction is obviously very important for this type of parasol so a hardwood or metal frame is recommended for low maintenance and longer life span.
