When it comes to outdoor living, creating a comfortable and stylish space is essential. Cantilever parasols, in particular, have become increasingly popular for those seeking to combine functionality with aesthetic appeal.

Duxburys Garden Furniture understand the importance of high-quality outdoor solutions. In fact, cantilever parasols are one of our top recommendations for enhancing any garden, patio, or poolside area.

What are Cantilever Parasols?

A cantilever parasol is a type of outdoor umbrella. Specifically, where the pole or support structure is positioned to one side rather than in the centre. This design allows for unobstructed shading over a larger area, so provides flexibility in how the space beneath is used.

Unlike traditional parasols, which require a hole in the middle of a table, cantilever parasols can be placed to the side. Therefore, this makes them perfect for covering seating areas and loungers. In fact, this even applies to hot tubs without the need for a central support that can get in the way.

Advantages of Cantilever Parasols

One of the most significant advantages of cantilever parasols is their versatility. Because the support is to the side, the shaded area can be easily adjusted throughout the day as the sun moves.

Many models come with a tilting mechanism, allowing the canopy to be angled to provide maximum shade exactly where it's needed. Some also feature a rotating base, enabling the parasol to swing around and cover different areas without the need to move the base itself.

Above all, cantilever parasols have a sleek look that adds a touch of elegance to any outdoor space. The absence of a central pole gives them a minimalist appearance, allowing other garden features to take centre stage. Their design is specifically well-suited to contemporary garden styles but can be adapted to fit more traditional settings too.

Durability and Maintenance of Cantilever Parasols

Duxburys Garden Furniture prioritise quality and durability in all our products, and our range of cantilever parasols is no exception. These parasols are typically made from robust materials like powder-coated aluminium for the frame. Ultimately, this ensures they are lightweight yet strong enough to withstand various weather conditions.

The canopies are crafted from high-quality, UV-resistant fabric, which not only provides excellent sun protection but also resists fading. Therefore, this will ensure the parasol looks great year after year.

Maintenance of cantilever parasols is straightforward. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water can keep the canopy looking fresh, while the frame can be wiped down to remove dust and debris.
