Many of our garden parasols have built-in LED lights, so you can carry on outdoors long after the sun goes down. With loads of different sizes, styles, and colours to choose from, you’re sure to find the garden umbrella which suits your needs, including options which tilt for optimum control over your shade.

Make sure you check if your outdoor parasol comes with a base. If not, wander over to our collection of parasol bases to keep it in once place!

Crank handle parasol

Crank handle garden parasols use a winding system with a handle to be put up and down. It’s an easy way to operate the umbrella and means you won’t be struggling to put it down when the wind picks up!

Cantilever parasol

A cantilever parasol, also known as a hanging or banana parasol, can be adjusted and tilted to block the sun effectively. The canopy attaches to an arm and hangs over, instead of a vertical arm as found on most crank handle parasols. This can easily be adjusted depending on your personal preference.

FAQs

What is a good size for a parasol?

Choosing the perfect parasol size depends on how many seats you've got to cover. A small one might not quite set the mood for all your friends and family, while going extra-large could cramp things up a bit. Aim for that sweet spot—a size bigger than the table but not over the top.

Which parasol is best in the wind?

When it comes to tackling breezy days, opt for a sturdy parasol base to keep it grounded, even in gusty winds. And don't forget about those strong poles and ribs—top-notch quality means better stability all around.

Is it better to have a light or dark parasol?

A darker parasol is perfect for sun protection, absorbing up to 90% of the heat. This makes it your shield against UV radiation for as long as you use it.

What is the best colour for a sun parasol?

When it comes to garden parasols, charcoal grey, graphite grey, and black are the real showstoppers! They're perfect for keeping the sun at bay and you under a shade.

What is the difference between a sun umbrella and a parasol?

A sun umbrella's your go-to for shielding yourself from that blazing sun solo, while a parasol steps in when you're sharing the shade with friends and family. Both are designed with different materials depending on how much protection each offers.
