Garden Parasols

The right parasol is the one that actually shades the people at your table. A 2.7m centre-pole parasol suits round and smaller rectangular tables; a cantilever reaches over a full-length dining set without a pole in the middle of everyone's legs, and our LED models light the table once the sun has gone.

All use a solid hardwood or heavy-gauge frame with a 48mm pole, because the failure point on a cheap parasol is almost always the pole rather than the fabric.
