Kingfisher 2.4m Wooden Green Garden Parasol

Product Information

The Parasols are splendid in that they will cover the majority of those seated and protect them from the elements, plus for BBQ’s, al fresco buffets and dining parties they will protect platters of nibbles and the drinks from the heat of the sun. NB. They are also Shower resistant.

Parasols are the perfect garden accessory, particularly in summer. But there are a number of different sizes, shapes and styles on the market which can make it confusing to choose the right one. If you're not blessed with Herculean muscles or great height then it's useful to add a winding crank mechanism to your wishlist. This means you get a handle at a (generally) more accessible height that's attached to a pulley mechanism that opens the canopy as you wind. All that canopy fabric can be heavier than you think, so it's a useful feature to look out for. The parasol features two pole sections which screw together to easily assemble and store away. Clear instructions are included with information on how to assemble and care for the parasol.The heavy-dutyparasol base when filled with ‘sand’ providesa sturdy 80 kg solid base, just what’s required to hold firm a parasol of this size.

Non-cantilever parasols are often sturdier in difficult weather, by design, but you can get great versions of both.

Make sure there’s nothing underneath the base, such as a large stone.Most good parasols are at least 2 metres wide, and 2.4 metres seems to be the industry standard.

Opening the Parasol couldn’t be easier as we use a pulley system, so no heaving and pulling to spoil one’s day.The parasol pole and ribs are made from steel which is tougher and weightier than aluminium for superior wind-resistance. The pole, ribs and handle are also powder-coated for rust-resistance. The canopy is made from tough polyester with an air vent to prevent the parasol being pulled upwards by the wind. It also keeps you nice and cool by allowing heat to circulate more freely. In the UK, it’s fairly easy to go overboard when the sun comes out. It’s understandable, too – we really don’t get enough of it to take a few good days of rays for granted. Unfortunately, that also means we tend to forget there is such a thing as too much sun.

The pole should fit snugly into the base. Another reason it may spin is if it’s positioned in the centre of a table and the hole is too large for the pole. If this is what’s happening, you could use a small wedge, piece of wood or even a piece of cardboard to fill the hole.
