Buying a 2m Garden Parasol

Our outdoor furniture range, here at Lakeland Furniture, is something we are really proud of. The rattan furniture sets are highly popular with our customers, especially during the warmer months. This is no surprise. However, they don’t stand alone. They need a little helping hand from another of our favourite products - our outdoor parasols and umbrellas! Everyone needs shading from the sun in summer, especially when you’ve got a cold beverage in hand!

How do you choose the right one?

Our range of 2m parasols is second to none so keep reading to find out which is right for you.

There are a number of factors you should consider when choosing your umbrella or garden parasol from Lakeland Furniture. These include size, mechanism, style and colour. Bear in mind that all our parasols are easily cleaned with warm soapy water and a rinse.

Size guide

We currently offer a range of sizes for our outdoor parasols. The height always remains 2m but the difference is in the diameter! Our 3m parasols are perfect for larger gardens but if you need to save on space the 2m parasols could be perfect for you. We also have hanging banana and rectangle umbrellas for your individual requirements. It all depends on your garden, your outdoor furniture and your personal taste!

Style guide

The standard style in our 2m parasol range is the ever popular Cambridge. It’s a crank and tilt umbrella which is a type of mechanism that allows you to easily adjust its position. A wind-up and down handle lets you wind the canopy up and down in a few turns. The locking tilt feature means you can block any sunlight without moving the whole parasol. Easy!

Picking your colour!

Our parasols are available in six colours: green, blue, cream, taupe, grey and red. Of course, whichever you pick will depend on two things - your personal preference and if it needs to match any existing furniture in your garden. You may wish to match it to your interior colour scheme to keep your home’s design consistent! If you have a colour scheme which we do not stock, a cream or taupe parasol is a good choice as it will go with everything.

How do I choose the right size parasol?

Choosing the right size parasol depends on several factors such as the size of your outdoor space, the amount of shade you want, and the size of your outdoor furniture. Here are some general guidelines to follow:

Measure your outdoor furniture: Your parasol should be large enough to cover your outdoor furniture, including the table and chairs.

Consider the size of your outdoor space: If you have a small patio or balcony, a smaller parasol, such as a 2m or 2.5m, may be more appropriate. If you have a larger outdoor space, a 3m or 3.5m parasol may provide better coverage.

Think about the amount of shade you want: If you want more shade, choose a larger parasol. Keep in mind that a larger parasol will also require a larger base to keep it stable.

Check the manufacturer's recommendations: The manufacturer's recommendations for the size of the parasol base will depend on the size and weight of the parasol. Be sure to follow their guidelines to ensure stability and safety.

Overall, it's important to choose a parasol that provides enough shade and complements your outdoor space.

What size/weight base do I need for a 2m parasol?

The recommended weight for a 2m parasol base is around 20-25kg. However, this can vary depending on the specific design and shape of the parasol, as well as the surrounding weather conditions. It's best to refer to the manufacturer's instructions or consult with a professional to ensure you have the appropriate base for your 2m parasol.

What is the most common size of a parasol?

The most common size for a garden parasol is around 2.5 to 3 meters in diameter. However, there are also smaller and larger sizes available, depending on your needs and the size of your outdoor space.

Do the parasols have UV protection?

Many parasols are designed to offer UV protection, but not all of them have this feature. When shopping for a parasol, it's a good idea to look for one that is specifically labelled as providing UV protection. This means that the fabric of the parasol has been treated to block harmful UV rays from the sun, which can cause skin damage and contribute to premature aging. In addition, some parasols have a higher level of UV protection than others, so be sure to check the specifications before making a purchase if UV protection is a top priority.

Will the parasol material fade over time?

Yes, the material of a parasol can fade over time due to exposure to UV light from the sun. This is particularly true for parasols made from natural materials like cotton or polyester. However, many modern parasols are designed to be UV-resistant and have fabrics that are specially treated to resist fading. It's important to check the specifications of the parasol you are considering purchasing to see if it has UV protection and what level of protection it provides. Additionally, storing the parasol out of direct sunlight when not in use can help prolong its lifespan and prevent fading.
