Garden Umbrellas

Whether you’re looking for garden umbrellas to match your existing furniture or have free rein to find the parasol of your dreams, we have a wide variety available. Each style is designed to provide ample shade to protect you from the sun in the summer months. Whatever your garden set up, there’s something for every occasion.

Enjoy FREE UK delivery and a 1-year warranty on all garden parasols, so you can shop with total confidence.

You’ll find all sorts of parasol accessories too, including replacement canopies, bases and covers. Every design we sell makes use of anti-fade fabric, helping it look as good as new for longer. We’ve even compiled some top tips on how to clean your parasol to help you care for your new purchase.

Garden Parasol Material Options

The main considerations for your garden parasol material are its weather resistance and UV resistance. All of our models come with a thick 180g polyester canvas, which makes them both water and UV resistant.

We still recommend storing your parasol in a waterproof cover during periods of heavy rain. While they can withstand light rain, they may not hold up to heavy downpours.

Deciding on the Style and Colour for Your Garden Parasol

The style and colour tend to have the biggest impact on which garden umbrella is right for your garden. If you’ve got existing furniture, you may well have a colour scheme in mind. But if you’re starting from scratch, the colour world is your oyster.

You may prefer a neutral cream or grey shade, or fancy a pop of colour with a striking red parasol. Whichever you prefer, all our parasols are made with a specialist anti-fade material and protected with a full 1-year warranty for total peace of mind.

Parasol Styles

The final factor is the style of garden parasol best suited to your space. There are 3 main types on the market:

  • Traditional parasols have a straight pole running through the centre of your garden table
  • Cantilever parasols have a curved arm and a freestanding base
  • Wall-mounted parasols take up less space as they don’t need a base and mount directly onto your external wall

While we stock all types of parasols, there are some differences to be aware of that affect their suitability. Before you set your sights on a specific type, find out if it’s:

  • Tiltable
  • Height adjustable
  • Has an option for swivelling (mainly cantilever types)
  • Easy to put up and down
  • Easy to cover or store over the winter months

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.

What size/weight base do i need for a 3m parasol?

For a 3m parasol, a base that weighs at least 25kg is recommended to provide sufficient stability and prevent the parasol from tipping over in moderate wind conditions. However, the exact size and weight of the base required may also depend on the design of the parasol and the specific installation location, such as whether the parasol will be used in a windy area or on a surface that is prone to movement. It's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's recommendations or seek advice from a professional before purchasing a base for your parasol.

Are parasols water resistant?

Most parasols are water-resistant, but not completely waterproof. This means they can handle light rain, but they may not hold up in heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water. It is important to check the specific product specifications for water resistance or waterproofing information. If you expect heavy rain or extended periods of wet weather, it is recommended to store your parasol in a dry location or use a waterproof cover to protect it.

Can I use a parasol without a base?

It is not recommended to use a parasol without a base. The base is necessary to provide stability and prevent the parasol from falling over, especially in windy conditions. Without a base, the parasol may become unstable and pose a safety hazard. It is important to choose a base that is the appropriate size and weight for your parasol.

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.
